@steverichards.bsky.social From last night: Really, Brucy?! What the... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Were Tony Benn/Michael Foot/Harold Wilson already taken? #bewildered

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social - Just heard you on #MoralMaze. You ended brilliantly! That anecdote on spikded stories was gold-dust. The fellow asking you questions didn't listen to you. He had his prepped Qs, and contradicted what you said someitimes totally. You went easy on him. #toonice

my more radical friends won't listen to the BBC because of its discredited news and current affairs coverage. But I luxuriate in ad-free music and both #CharlesParisMysteries and #EdReardonsWeek being broadcast each week! #BBCRadio4

Panorama: an exercise in economic misinformation www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06... Last night's Panorama on 'Is Britain broke?' on BBC1 got nowhere near finding any useful answers to the question it posed, and that was the result of our journalism.

The imperative to build more to "ease the housing crisis" is a con! ‘In reality,’ Bano says, ‘there are plenty of homes to go around.’ www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4... Enjoy! another relevant article: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... credits: @lrb.co.uk @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social listening to 'the prophets of profit' through the 'lens' (I try not to mix my metaphors. call it syneasthetic) of 'the Invisible Doctrine' is illuminating and instructive. Coming on the heels of 'Invisible Hands' it feels like you really started something! Spread the word!

listening to parl. sitting on Saturday. I thought I had proverb spooneritis, but this Tory has mixed 'pig's ear' and 'dog's breakfast' and coined a new way to describe a shit show: 'Pig's breakfast' - twice! Ah well, why not? Can I try a new saying? 'Tory brainfuck' to describe a terrible mess...?

another useful #LifeHack from me: When spending your days writing a book, to ensure you get up every so often (for the avoidance of back ache and stiffness) play LPs on your newly-refurbished turntable. You also get to benefit of superb, chat-free music. Recommended!

Fascism on the rise, domestic violence kills thousands of women, rape is effectively decriminalised, COVID corruption goes unpunished, hate crime and child sexual abuse are rampant. But the police, those faithful servants of capitalism, are arresting peaceful protestors against climate breakdown.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Dimbleby is everywhere promoting his new podcast, not coincidentally echoes your 'Invisible Doctrine', which I'm proud you signed for me. Obviously he read you - did he talk with you? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I have always been proudly patriotic. But I firmly believe that Nationalism is a force for evil. Adam Gopnik explains this here much more eloquently than I could. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I want to say thank you (again) to @ilovepdf.bsky.social for their free and easy conversion service of pdf to word. really helpful, cheers guys.

Barnet Council is consulting about footpaths and cycle paths - www.engage.barnet.gov.uk/shape-the-wa... I told them not to spoil what we already have, and to enhance wildlife opportunities. Overdeveloping throws the nature baby out with the accessibility bathwater...

"The only way to advance ordinary people's interests is to tax work less and wealth more." Is this just too simple to be true? Or bang on the money! @richardjmurphy.bsky.social @sjwrenlewis.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCnI...

I've discovered an easy way to bring heating costs down all on my own. Why didn't this get shouted about from the beginning? A #ONESIE! It may be not-fit-to-be-seen-in ugly, but by god it's warm. Recommended
