Good news, but now we need to make it compulsory, like Maths and English. Looking after our planet is not optional!

Idiotic Reform

I've been quoted in this article. Unfortunately they missed out what I said about the National Emergency Briefing. www.thestar.co.uk/news/environ...

I hope this is right, but I fear a 2 degrees world will not be habitable. “A habitable, equal 21st century is materially possible,” the report concludes. “What stands in the way is not technical impossibility but political choice and the hard but crucial work of building a coalition behind it.”

Some Sheffield folk were involved in this brilliant action. www.instagram.com/reels/DZJzNv...

Patient Voice is crucial yet the Government are quietly doing away with it.

And people said the Greens shouldn't stand against Burnham.

This is exactly what we have been warning about. But oh no, anyone who objects to the changes is a selfish, privileged nimby, a zealot, a blocker, an elitist. Let's trash the lives of England's poorest communities, and smear anyone who complains. Thanks Keir. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Challenging Reform nonsense in the Sheffield Star I've had two letters in the Sheffield Star recently. The first was in reply to K Martin, whose long pro-Reform letter is at the foot of this post. Dear Editor Sadly, K Martin has accepted the propaganda being pushed by Nigel Farage and his…

Under Starmer, the UK has become an authoritarian state. open.substack.com/pub/owenjone...

"21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That’s ~ 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party. 22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims “some of the strongest vetting in the country”' via Instagram

Hospitals, Care Homes and all public buildings urgently need to consider how they can adapt to our changing climate.

Anna Dixon MP for Shipley, West Yorkshire has written to Nigel Farage about Bradford Council Leader Stephen Place. See below our thread to see exactly what she is describing in her letter. Reform UK must take this seriously. x.com/reformexpose...

"I've been a #climate scientist for 33 years and we're seeing exactly the kinds of things that we were warning back then... [although] these records are perhaps more extreme and coming sooner than we had expected," @richardabetts.bsky.social

The fossil fuel lobbyist Tony Blair has commanded the attention of Westminster this morning, with a 5000-word essay about how the government should be working to benefit the fossil fuel industry and IT sector. #TonyBlair #FossilFuels #ClimateChange

"Climate change is believed to have played a role in such hot spells as this" FFS BBCNews Belief has nothing to do with it. This is hard, scientific, fact When will you get this right? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's an exceptionalist belief that the UK's immune to the worst political extremes. In reality, we were lucky not to get a fascist government in the 1930s. Now that the world's richest man supports our most extreme political party, we need more than luck. We need to get the money out of politics.

Well done Byline Times for this on the Makerfield Reform candidate. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/20/r...

The most fundamental duty of any Govt is to keep the public safe. @thecccuk.bsky.social today shows we are sleepwalking towards catastrophe. Our children will not forgive us if the Govt & Parliament fail to take these risks seriously due to being distracted by current political dramas.

I will not be lectured about 'progressive cooperation' by people who also think that's something you can achieve with the party which ran this attack ad
