Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You’re not struggling to buy basic items as wages fail to keep up with inflation. You’re “finding joy” by buying smaller things.

UK enters third heatwave - with temperatures set to hit 35C Southeast England has now officially met the heatwave criteria, after three days of temperatures above 28C, the Met Office said news.sky.com/story/uk-en...

Good news: We can tell you how much the globe will warm if we continue to burn fossil fuels and emit CO₂ at an alarming rate. Bad news: We’re terrible at telling you how bad the impacts will be, and they’re consistently worse than we predicted.

I’ve invented Beag Guinness. Beag meaning small. A reference to to small beer. It’s half Guinness and half Guinness zero. And you can drink one an hour and (this is not official advice) still drive.

Hey @theguardian.com. I think England is his “home country”. In fact, that’s the whole f***** point. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

As Keir Starmer announces a surge in military spending, it’s important to remember that a large chunk of Britain’s ‘defence’ budget is actually focussed on protecting the global oil trade: open.substack.com/pub/abolishw...

This is a Refugee Tax. It was originally proposed by the Tories, and the only reason asylum seekers could be claimed to 'owe' any money is because they are banned from working. Another cruel Labour policy - that must be reversed on day one by Andy Burnham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m just a shitlib, but until the dems are willing to take on the concentrated power of capital and the mechanisms that led to it they’re just painting the titanic a different color. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

“Maybe they were sick and tired of having a road over their heads that they were excluded from and wanted to turn the tables…”

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

As Europe feels the heat, it's beyond time to reduce carbon emissions

So I guess Keir Starmer’s next job is working for a lobbyist for an arms company. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We are hearing nothing about the huge bomb that was dropped on Lebanon, it's disturbing, dystopian. What gives one state the right to annihilate people and their homes like this ? I just don't understand the world we live in now, the evil that continues, the constant greed from those with no soul.

“Daniel Sanchez-Estrada … did not participate in the protest … was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he was convicted of moving boxes containing leftwing zines and other materials after a prison phone call from his wife.”

Meanwhile, in the US. It just takes your breath away. *50 years* in prison for protesting. Don't imagine for one moment that we are immune to this. Already, the legislative framework is in place in the UK to enable such convictions - before we get a Trumplike PM. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Hey, @wsj.com if the US and Iran carry out new missile strikes, that's not "testing the fragile ceasefire." New missile strikes mean that the test has failed. Our media is so ridiculously cooked.

Seasonal spikes in data centre water use pose a risk to water-stressed regions, despite tech industry claims, Environment Agency analysis shows theecologist.org/2026/jun/29/... New report from @aiarmsracebook.bsky.social

I think we need to move past the belief that the royal family is newsworthy. Especially with reverential tones. If you want to tell me this privileged nepobaby is wining because the taxpayer won’t fund his private security, that’s fine. Otherwise, this is not news.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I think we just passed oops.

UNPOPULAR OPINION; Children deserve to eat and I do not care if my taxes go towards buying them food.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

If 20,000 Irish meet in a park, you get a rainbow. I don’t make the rules.

NEW: Mamdani’s rent freeze APPROVED. Tell me again how he’ll “never get anything done.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

Finally some good climate news!

We certainly need it. Tories , Labour and Reform are all veering far right and are offering nothing to improve this country, they yield to corporate and foreign lobbyists.

Absolutely stunning victory as Greens gain another seat in Brighton & Hove. 🎉 Look at that swing! 🙌🏽👀 Huge congratulations to Nadia and the entire team! 💚

Restoring soil health is among the most cost-effective hedges against future shocks

A one-day blockade of an arms factory cost the company an estimated €200,000.

It’s hard to understand why Mamdani is so popular 🙃

Fresh water is the new oil apparently. Coming from Bill Gates ,this is disgusting. How can they say that ? What gives them the right to monopolize water and our food and then make money from that ? This is greed in its ugly glory! It's dystopian and immoral. Share widely.

No. Not even close. And frankly, his project does not need us. The Guardian political team, as too often, asking the wrong question never mind proving the wrong answer. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We need to see the law changed, so that employers and workers know when action must be taken to keep workers cooler and safer. Add your name. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/we...

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

You have to feel sorry for Keir Starmer this morning. I’m kidding.

Again, this was a pretty safe prediction.

I mean, we all knew this back then.

I know I’m getting ahead of myself, but I really don’t like or trust Andy Burnham.

"All of this is a huge diversion of resources and deflection from the task at hand. As one of us likes to say, when you’re in a climate hole, stop digging … and burning fossil fuels. It really is, at some level, that simple."

Brixton Market is at risk of being bought by private equity developers. Locals are launching an emergency counter-bid to bring it into community ownership by June 22. Add your name to help keep it independent: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/bu...

"Since City Hall set target, of reducing vehicle-kilometres driven in London by 27 per cent by 2030, .. it has not issued a single sheet of paper explaining how this target might be met." Meanwhile drivers are driving more not less. Can't blame it all on City Hall & councils. #takebus #bike #walk

Big profits for Shell means higher prices for the rest of us.

Protest rights are being eroded

This Thursday, England’s largest landowners are meeting to discuss their plans for restoring nature on their estates. Yet the Government Estate Nature Plan is nowhere to be seen! We're asking Minister @marycreagh.bsky.social to publish the plan - add your voice: actionnetwork.org/letters/urge...
