Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast

FULL UPDATE!: We learn from the Times in this morning’s paper that indeed as I surmised (see thread below) the Govt >haven’t< released an unredacted version of this bombshell report. What a scandal. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme... Without paywall: archive.ph/2026.01.23-0... PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

The world’s wrongest man, Daniel Hannan, contending that Trump’s utter unfitness for office only emerged *yesterday*… Because it’s the only way the irredeemable idiot can cling on to the delusion that he’s not an irredeemable idiot.

The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...

Crucial context for Trump’s latest brain belch… www.politico.eu/article/brex...

At this stage, the Mail using an affectionate nickname in a headline on this story feels a bit like their infamous ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts!’ front page. Plus ça change…

Spot on from the brilliant @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social 👇

A number of people on this platform have been claiming that it's not up to government to shorten people's time on remand, however far beyond the statutory limit that time extends. Well, take it from a very eminent retired judge. It is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Great progress in new poll for Wales. Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th. Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.

A really useful new report from @ieep-uk.bsky.social on merits of a renewed cooperation between the UK & the European Environment Agency (EEA)🌱📈 Also looks in depth at other non-EU members including Switzerland & Turkey. Read full policy paper here @europeanmovement.co.uk 👇 ieep.uk/publications...

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue." It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget. No wonder he’s welcoming Nadhim Zahawi, someone who enthusiastically supported both.

This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs

It is not enough for the government to simply condemn the establishment of more illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank; the UK must take concrete action. Ban all trade with illegal settlements and refuse to have anything to do with the proceeds of crime.

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means. It's clear what Trump is doing. Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously. God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

Review acknowledges young people want more #climate education & that they feel high levels of anxiety, so it’s a missed opportunity not to include importance of teacher training to equip them to help students build emotional resilience needed to turn anxiety into action @climatemajority.bsky.social

Hard hitting piece by @rupertread.bsky.social on the dangers of “climate optimism” - at least 30 years of failure to take the threat seriously has led to multiplying risks and locked-in harm and suffering @climatemajority.bsky.social

“Lying low and hoping that this too shall pass is cowardice, denial and historical illiteracy” - spot on from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social

🗞️ Did anyone catch @elliottonguk.bsky.social in this week’s @cambridgeindy.bsky.social? 🗳️ Greens are calling for local elections to go ahead as planned this May. To cancel planned elections would be undemocratic and wrong.

Two days - two defections! Huge welcome to the Green Party to Cllr Lakshan Saldin in Greenwich. Green Party keeps growing! 💚🚀 greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/01/07/g...

First Venezuela, next Greenland? You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness. Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

Keir Starmer must come to Parliament today and make it clear that Britain stands with Denmark against Trump’s threats.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Of course Maduro's repressive regime must be held accountable - but the US's unilateral attack on Venezuela is not about democracy. It is about oil imperialism. The UK must stop pandering to Donald Trump and roundly condemn the illegal action taken by the US.

I for one will definitely be ignoring pesky health professionals & turning instead to newspaper columnists who backed Brexit, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump & Liz Truss for all my expert health advice during this very serious flu outbreak.

A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

Excellent thread.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

The Chancellor explicitly references the negative legacy of Brexit on the UK economy - so why is her govt so opposed to taking steps like joining the customs union or single market with all the economic benefits these would bring? #Budget2025

🚨 CODE RED FOR NATURE 🚨 We are worried that Gov will weaken Biodiversity Net Gain — or remove small sites entirely! Gutting BNG would: ❌ collapse investment ❌ stall nature recovery ❌ send a catastrophic signal to markets This cannot happen.

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

I have been very puzzled by the behaviour expertly critiqued here.

I’m not often lost for words but…

No idea what telly Lord Sewell is watching, because I can't think of a single show with this plotline let alone it being something that is inescapable for young white men who subsequently now face a crisis of masculinity drawing them to the far right?? 🙃

Just pointing out that the UK has the highest pension and minimum wage we ever had. Also the highest level of regulatory protection. Because it is rarely mentioned when everyone talks about how terrible everything is.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been. In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

Good grief. What a pathetic baby.

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.

Well colour me staggered.

Deep joy to have James in the studio for this mammoth political review of a year that was pretty devoid of joy. Whether you're trimming sprouts, enjoying the solitude, or trying to digest while walking the dog, let us share the day with you. x

Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:

“Accepting the jumbo jet from Qatar was huge in terms of what it breached. But he loved it. So he took it. Now he says it's going to be part of his presidential library. Meaning, as far as I can tell from Trump's intellectual life, that it will contain one plane and no books.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social
