@skynewsrss.bsky.social why is @bethrigby.bsky.social not challenging Reform claiming an old property cannot be heated by a heat pump? Heat pump experts have called out this misinformation but you let it go by. Here’s an actual real world example. My house. essaysconcerning.com/2023/03/29/h...

Voters in Scotland and Wales today can vote in the knowledge that their parliaments will end up roughly in line with how the countries voted. A privilege not shared by voters in the English local elections, where First Past the Post continues to cause havoc.

It’s a similar story in Havering, as Reform picked up 70% of the seats on just 36% of the vote share.

As we see results of the local elections across England continue to come in, it’s clear that First Past the Post is failing voters – with some councils bearing little resemblance to how people actually voted. It doesn’t need to be this way. It’s time to scrap First Past the Post in England.

BREAKING: Second Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Liam Shrivastava has been elected Mayor of Lewisham – huge congratulations!

Spot on. It's not just Keir Starmer that is unpopular but the overall Labour policy direction too. The only thing that is popular with voters is their energy policy, led by Ed Milliband. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

🚨 GREEN MILESTONE 🚨 For the first time, the Green Party has 1,000 councillors 💚 Congratulations to Cllr Maxine Webb - the 1,000th Green Party councillor - on being elected to Norfolk County Council 🎉

"Today we start the fight back" Zoë Garbett, Mayor of Hackney 💚

In Wigan, Reform won 96% of seats on 46% of the votes. In Westminster, the Conservatives won a majority on 35%, while @greenparty.org.uk won 18% of the votes without gaining a single seat. We can’t let this happen in 2029 The time to change the voting system is *now* @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

while overall this is pretty depressing, can I point you to the story about support from allies for the trans charity Not A Phase following the Supreme Court ruling. As Michelle Obama would say, when they go low, we go high www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/in-dept...

The silver lining of a generally scary Reform council seat surge is that we have 3 years to go until the UK general election and that leaves plenty of time for Reform councils to cause enough chaos to self-destruct as a party. I mean Labour managed to self-destruct in under two years after all.

🗳️ The Green win in Hackney's Mayoral election is extraordinary when you look at past results. For the past 22 years, Labour have won every single Hackney Mayor election by at least 25pts. In 2026, they lost to the Greens by 11.7pts. x.com/LeftieStats/...

Recent Telegraph and Times cartoons of Green Party leader Zack Polanski, challenged for deploying antisemitic tropes + caricatures of a Jewish politician, by the Green party and by others.

The @labouruk.bsky.social is such a joke of a party. It spent the last two years cheering on Israel and the US as it bombs Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. US bombers and surveillance drones still take off from UK bases. Labour should be the ones apologising for endangering lives in London

“According to the Common Wealth think tank, around a quarter of every energy bill is taken in profit across the industry. One pound in every four that households spend keeping the lights on and the heating running flows out as profit, not as energy.” www.lbc.co.uk/article/bp-r...

Such attacks on art only reveal the deep anti-humanism of the tech elite. They are a class that shuns human interaction, with its serendipities, annoyances and joys. It represents friction. Learning to make art is also friction. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

It's not just Muslim voters. @labouruk.bsky.social doesn't care about brown lives in general. It's very obvious in the decisions it has made around supporting Israel and allowing the US to bomb brown countries from UK bases, in trying to keep the two-child benefit cap, in reducing development aid..

Any serious analysis of "sustainable" aviation fuel comes down to this. The land use implications alone mean that SAF will never be more than a greenwash marketing term.

7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister. The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation. And Downing Street says... nothing. If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

I was an astrophysics researcher in a former life, and the moon mission would have been a highlight. However, I can't help but feel that space exploration has completely lost its charm. The same aerospace companies working with NASA are also bombing innocent people in Iran.

NEW - I asked the UK government if they had assessed energy demand/emissions resulting from plans to make the UK an "AI superpower". The analysis they pointed me to seemed... pretty implausible. Just 0.1m tonnes of CO2 a year. My calculations suggest emissions could be 100s of times higher.

With new UK Future Homes Standard today, reflect that a similar standard was scrapped by then-Conservative government in 2015 The more than 1.3 mn homes built to lower standards since mean UK requires an extra 20 LNG tankers per yr Bad decisions lower energy security eciu.net/media/press-...
