Claire Jones on authoritarianism. Article in link: "Project 2025 is aligned with global authoritarianism & won’t stand or fall with Trump. It's also naive to think Reform's survival depends on Farage, given its place in the global authoritarian ecosystem". westenglandbylines.co.uk/politics/eme...

✍️ All Creatures Great and Small: a Yorkshire phenomenon The stories of Yorkshire-based vet ‘James Herriot’ are renowned. A Thirsk museum offers a fascinating insight into his life and times By Dr Pam Jarvis @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @drpam.bsky.social

This sounds lovely, I’m really looking forward to the new season on PBS. Next time I’m over in Yorkshire I will make time to see this!

'Trump has targeted the courts, the universities, civil servants of the federal government... One key bulwark has crumbled under this assault: the media. Trump... said major US networks gave him... "only bad press. I mean they’re getting a license...maybe their licenses should be taken away."'

'What if nearly all domestic waste could recycled into new items or, failing that, into aggregate which forms a substrate for new roads? ...Leeds is at the forefront of making this a reality, a recycling and energy recovery facility (RERF) based at Cross Green.'

'Polar geoengineering interventions.... are largely a fantastical science fiction. They will play no role in mitigating global warming. Decarbonizing to net zero is the only feasible approach to the problem, and this requires our complete attention without unnecessary distraction or diversion.'

'Extreme changes in weather patterns have been the most damaging overall for the natural world... The latest State of the UK Climate report made clear that this weather chaos – with more frequent record temperatures, drought, fire and flooding – is now the norm.'

'What happens to our democracy when leaders on the left adopt the rhetorical playbook pioneered by Bannon, Farage, and Trump?' Should the Greens take lessons from populism?

A visit to The World of James Herriot in Yorkshire: a unique blend of animal companions, mutually supportive communities, ancient monuments& green rolling countryside. Visitors can take a walk with the gentle spirit of the author& discover the real story behind ‘All Creatures Great and Small.’

I was particularly taken with the use of volunteers. They enrich projects with skills and fresh perspectives and increase community engagement/ownership. Their use broadens accessibility by breaking down financial and physical barriers, and offers personal benefits like skill development & wellbeing

A lovely article on James Herriot - worth a read.

Hotels housing migrants are now YouTube content farms. Outrage = clicks. Clicks = cash. Division is the business model. And it's lucrative. Owen Sennitt reports.

It is very little, and more or less within the margin of error, but after Reform's figures have stalled, this week they fall by three points, while Labour’s have risen by the same three points. @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social
