Wes Streeting doesn't want to 'catastrophise' but says people could die because of the doctor's strike. If they're that important, Wes, how about paying them properly?

YES YES YES thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🙏 😩AT LAST someone rasiing the alarm about what Europe's plummeting brith rates really mean!! "In reality, without immigration there will be no Europe, no civilisation and no one left to argue about it."⚠️ It's. that. simple.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

“Without immigration, there will, within a number of generations, be no Europe and no United Kingdom.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

HAHAHA! Just seen a video of a Tesla robot grabbing its head and collapsing! It turns out it was mimicking its human operator removing their VR headset!!! Anyone need more proof that Tesla is built on smoke and mirrors and is a stock pumping scam....?

Man on the tube: I’m tired. His wife: Oh we’re all tired, Brian.

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

This is what you don't hear every time this junktank appears on the BBC. *Why not?* Great exposure by Sam and @desmog.com

Britain's Critical Minerals Strategy fails on its own terms – and on the necessity of global resource justice. Latest analysis from @globaljusticenow.bsky.social theecologist.org/2025/dec/11/...

I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot: “The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”

Okay. This is angering me. First of all, “MAN”!? We’re not in the nineteenth century FFS. There’s a better word and it is “Humans”. And secondly - who the f£&k thought HUMANS only learned to control fire 50,000 years ago???!!! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me. From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador. #mycology #fungi #mycena #fungifriends

How much of the observed global warming was caused by humans? Science's best estimate: ALL OF IT

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Re "the very sinister development of nuclear renaissance”. "Over the years I have regularly been fed wildly optimistic figures of construction costs and times, and of the resultant electricity supply. At worst we have been consistently lied to.... And now it is happening all over again..."

Someone please correct me if I'm on the wrong track here but isn't the entire fundamental point of journalism being accurate

Indeed. Who actually is Keir Starmer?

Looking back on the murder of the brilliant and astonishing Ken Saro-Wiwa, 30 years on. He was executed for seeking to stop the despoilation of the Niger Delta by Shell. His murder prefigured much of what we have seen since. He remains a guiding light to us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yTB...

I feel like this got missed? Time Magazine (!!) is partnering with a gambling company to integrate instant betting on news events, such as the genocide in Gaza (!!!!!!) The rate of collapse of media is absolutely blistering. Support your independent media outlets folks..... archive.ph/wip/kgyIz

It's noticeable that the people who are now angriest with Keir Starmer's Labour government are those who voted for it. And they are right to be. This has been his primary achievement. So where on earth does he think Labour voters will come from, next time round?

This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

The trouble with the 'caretaker prime minister' label Keir Starmer has been saddled with (by his own MPs), is that it's an insult to real caretakers. The clue's in the name, and Starmer isn't taking any care of anyone, or anything, at all (besides his own deep pockets).

Sweet Jesus Starmer’s here to make the headlines about immigration again. The actual worst politician I’ve ever seen 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Today - are foreigners really human? Should they REALLY enjoy human rights protections like the rest of us? #r4today

It doesn't matter what Labour do, and they have to know that, which means they want to do the stuff they are doing

The government's climbdown on day one rights against unfair dismissal was sold to us as a way out of the impasse on the Employment Rights Bill. Pragmatism, eh? Well guess what? The business lobby (via the Lords) isn’t giving up & is pushing for more concessions. Funny that. 🤔

I cannot believe we elected a human rights lawyer and got this!

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Some good news. “A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since beavers were hunted to extinction in England at the beginning of the 16th century.”

A badger in the rainforest at night, captured in this image by Ross Bartley. 7,319 of these amazing, gorgeous native animals were culled by the Irish state last year alone, and 66,000 since 2014, in a pointless, cruel attempt to eliminate bovine TB, despite a promise to switch to vaccinations.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a repellent nation we become due to the relentless kowtowing and appeasement of the worst humans - those who define themselves by hate and so many of these media gatekeepers who carefully guard and woo the bigots

Boycott Starbucks. Everywhere. Every store is a picket line.

I think we need to nationalise the Daily Mail. Have an annual election for the role of editor. Send the reporters to university to study sociology and statistics.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

The sun sets on Kilcatherine cemetery, near me. The grave marker on the left is very old, likely early medieval. Many of the later grave markers here are simple uncut field stones from famine times, when the local population was devastated.

Update: Apologies I was due to be on Have I got News for You this week. We've now postponed until 2026. To go on Question Time and speak up for migrants right now feels vital.
