What a fantastic idea. A groundbreaking European initiative, TexMat, is piloting an automated deposit-return system for used textiles, drawing inspiration from bottle-return schemes already successful in several countries. euroweeklynews.com/2026/02/28/c...

In the UK House of Lords I argued that political donations are part of political corruption. Corporations and super-rich buy influence and power. Possibilities of democracy are stymied. Can't nave democracy whilst parties are for sale. Your thoughts pls www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMnY...

Utterly cruel, pointless and harmful. It does not minimise how bad Conservatives were to say Labour are now the most anti-asylum government in most people's living memory. This prevents people feeling any sense of safety and security after fleeing persecution. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The making of #Lordoftheflies is on BBC4 right now with Jack Thorne, actors and Tv team.

The fate of the Iranian people has never been of great concern to American administrations, and this one is no exception www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Another war that will displace many people who then become refugees turned down as unwanted immigrants #C4news

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We need to know what The Greens would do if they come out of NATO. We also need to hear policies on education, Early Years, taxing the rich, Local authorities' policies and how they would tackle the disaster that is Brexit #bbcaq #bbcaa

Copying Reform policies...which are in turn copied from across the pond... will not bring their voters to Labour. Labour has been nudged by this result. Let's hope it now fully wakes up #bbcaq #bbcaa

Many countries are ruled by a coalition and do well #bbcaq

Rachel MacLean is one of the reasons the HoL needs reforming #bbcaq

No no no….not Montgomery 😫 #C4news

This woman is the victim. She should feel no shame. The shame is on him like Madame Pelicot has shown us #C4news

Is she tone deaf? 😒 #C4news

People want to see the water companies dealt with. Tax the rich and tackling the mess that is Brexit #C4news

Why not have The Green Party on the panel instead of a ‘4 pubs’ owner so we can hear what they would plan to do on this issues of business rates? #bbcqt

Can the other 2 panellists have a word or is this the GBNews and Daily Fail show in the absence of a reform rep? 😒 #bbcqt

Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

🚨🚨 Major irony warning: The UK decision to depart from the EU in the "hard" way opting for the TCA was the most severe barrier to EU trade that could be imposed. Now live with it or renegotiate the basic terms of this framework. #brexit www.ft.com/content/05e0...

Iceland will hold a referendum "in the coming months" on restarting European Union accession talks, Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir said on Wednesday. Iceand abandoned membership talks in 2013 after four years of negotiations, but geopolitical tensions have revived interest.

Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election apnews.com/article/hung...

If the govt U-turned and renationalises water there would be a loud cheer from all sides except Reform #C4news

Who remembers the days when UK waters had Blue flags for cleanliness? What’s happened since? 🤔 #C4news

The first #PMQs to be broadcast featured Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher in the mid 1970s. It was very well mannered and informative. Fast forward 50 years and the current Tory leader is calling the government "paedo protectors" How far the Tories have sunk.

This Punch and Judi show is the reason so many, especially young people, are turned off by politics #PMQs

This is totally unacceptable tit for tat and the Speaker just slaps their hand. #PMQs

That old mantra that there is no learning unless children are in a classroom 😡 #Politicslive

Now I’m off to watch a proper crime drama with proper police procedurals 😂 #Silentwitness

Maybe AMW should save everyone the trouble of having to strip him of his entitlement to the throne by renouncing it unless he's deluded he'll ever get to be king #bbcaq #bbcaa

🚨🚨 Late to this very welcome development: @mark-carney.bsky.social spearheads new mega anti- #trump alliance with the #EU and major Indo-Pacific trade bloc (aka the #CPTPP) to shortcircuit Trump's #tariffs . www.politico.eu/article/eu-a...
