Thank goodness we were smart enough to put in all that effort flattering and appeasing this indispensable ally. Made all the difference. Right?

Well, the UN may not have the teeth to do so. Former UK certainly hasn't. But for what it's worth I hereby declare the Fascist States of America to be a clear and present threat to global peace and security, planetary survival, and my own well-being. I hereby boycott them and all who normalise them

A new poll has the Scottish Greens on a record breaking 18 MSPs! This would make us the second largest party in Scotland, ahead of Labour, the Tories and Reform. This poll shows what's possible. We can build a fairer, greener Scotland: www.greens.scot/join

It's been a big 24hrs for out-and-out science denial. First, Trump seems to want his MAGA cultists to collectively win the Darwin Award via his denial of medical science Now, Trump is denying more than a century of climate science. Denial = Lives lost Thank you for your attention to this matter

I solved today’s #Gisnep in 04:21. 🎉 No. 411 | September 22, 2025 gisnep.com

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis. Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet. Just big business & their own interests. #Gatwick

Two ways to pretend you are in a real place like the Mediterranean 1. Put caraway seeds in with the bread mix 2. Boil the juice from tins of tangerines and pour it over dry cake Worked for me today. Experimenting is FUN

Again I get this but if you come to areas like mine that’s exactly what it is being used for, that’s what it means right now, and no amount of waving it with good vibes is going to change that

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fucking hell. And they think this is good marketing material? They’ve taken the same pill as Peter Kyle.

One of my favorite things to do with students - the key is have them draw all over the comics page! That act of moving their hands, letting eye and hand notice things together almost always explodes open the page to reveal all kinds of insights! Try it!

Just look at how much has been achieved in a few short weeks in terms of impact, clarity, resistance, hope and mobilisation! Given the clustercrises the country and the planet face, the time to join the movement and turn the tide is now When they say be the change you want to see, they mean this!

Just look at how much Zack has achieved in a few short weeks in terms of impact, clarity, resistance, hope and mobilisation. Compared with months of inaction and insquabbling by Theirparty vs Itsmyparty. It's not like things aren't at a crisis point or anything! They had their chance.

Big US tech company Nvidia saying they're gonna build data centres in the UK and we have to burn more gas to power them? Uh, no. British people shouldn't be paying higher bills and suffering accelerated climate change for your bottom line.

Oh Zack Polanski is so right!!👏👏✨ I’ve avoided the news because quite frankly this state visit makes me angry & sick!!🤬🤢 In truth we’ve no deals with the US. Like every other country they’re just blank pieces of paper with “good”intentions! And we all know Trump changes his mind every millisecond!😔

Zack Polanski, "Are you comfortable with the most powerful man on earth banning books, militarising the police?" Penny Mordaunt, "That's not the point"

SirKS: "a genuine step change in UK's (sic) relationship with the US (sic)"

Yesterday at a @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social councillors from all parties came together to endorse the Brum United against Racism & Hate Crime campaign. Brummies stand united. There is no place for racism, hate or division in our city. #BrumUnited #FightRacism #NoPlaceForHate

Quite objectively, this is one of the best political adverts I've seen in England for several years. The concept, the tone, the images, the length, the music, the message ... All are perfectly constructed. 👏👏👏

How much more evidence does our Government need before it ends its complicity in this genocide? Where is the red line for real, moral action? The British public supports a full arms embargo and sanctions, the Government must now finally listen.

The UN has only confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide. 64,000+ killed, whole families wiped out. Yet UK Govt rolls out the red carpet for Israel’s president & Starmer stays silent. Labour - this is a genocide. Are you going to continue to ignore that?

"Splitting the vote doesn’t lose elections — disillusion and apathy do." We've had calls to stand aside in the Kenn Valley by-election, to unite the 'progressive' vote. Green candidate Scott Williams explains why Greens must stand to take on Reform.

1. No social justice without internationalism 2. Using "communities" to refer to whom, exactly? 3. We did. You were watching Arsenal and kept your gob shut for 24 hours 4. RUK don't have a monopoly on toxic chaos and decline 5. And the call to a coup, see that too? 6. Guy's obsessed with plastic

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked. When will the govt get their priorities in order?

"You can't just call people racists" is disingenuous strawmanning at the best of times. But invoked in reference to a *far right rally*? Farcical. What it amounts to now is "you can't identify racism when its staring you in the face". And well, we tried that approach didn't we? And here we are.

I don't think Peter Mandelson is PM's biggest problem. The biggest problem is not standing up to the literal violent racism on our streets, supercharged by the richest man in the world, and threatening the very fabric of our society. If he and so many commentators can't see this, we're truly lost.

This is such an important thing to watch and digest. He is asking all the right questions and doing it in a respectful way. Maybe instead of being angry all the time I could actually have these conversations and make a difference

I think Musk's comments to a rally of 100k people are the highest profile advocacy of political violence in the UK since the end of the Northern Ireland conflict. Does anybody have a counter-example? "Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die."

Britain will never surrender to the far right says the man who's spent the past year normalising the far right demonisation of migrants and trans people and legitimising far right flag shagging as he chases after Reform UK voters who hate him. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
