BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Don’t crush our right to protest! The right to protest is the heartbeat of democracy. It lets us speak out, challenge injustice, and hold those in power accountable. The Government’s plan would give police sweeping powers to ban repea...

😡 The Government wants to ban repeated protests & jail those who defy them. Stand up for our democratic right to protest - sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

When I was in the audience - loads of questions on environmental issues were submitted - not were selected...

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Statement from Paul Laverty

Do you want billionaires and oligarchs to own your country?

It's simple, really. We need to tax the super-rich.

A graphic featuring a screenshot of a Byline Times article titled: “‘Keir Starmer Must Break His Silence on the Climate Crisis Driving the UK’s Extreme Temperatures’.” The article is written by Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay and dated 16 July 2025. A subheading reads: “Soaring temperatures are pushing us towards environmental crises that the Government is doing little to prepare us for, argues Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay.” The background is green, with a Green Party logo and the words “Green Party” at the bottom, along with a promotion line stating it was promoted by D Parkinson on behalf of Bradford District Green Party.

"Just like climate action to reduce dangerous emissions, preparing and adapting for a warming climate needs to be done in ways that tackle inequality at the same time."

Have you heard about this, BlueSky chums? It happened in London less than 24 hours ago but AFAIK isn't being covered in the UK news cycle. If you can manage to find the story at www.bbc.co.uk/news or theguardian.com please let me know.

Unless you are Paul Newman (who can do no wrong) and give it all away.

A realizadora portuguesa Laura Carreira considera que o filme “On Falling”, a estrear-se em março no Reino Unido e em Portugal, pode ser um contributo e um alerta da sua geração sobre o valor e a importância do trabalho.

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

Also the Daniel Blake food bank moment at the interview is sensitive and powerful .... Such a good film - must be seen

It does address the horrors capitalism. But also the small acts of kindness, sharing a meal, understanding when she can't pay the bill, helping a stranger in the street.... Humanity shows through in even the most deprived circumstances. In that way it can be viewed as an uplifting film.. brilliant

New film telling the story of the struggles of migrant workers Laura Carreira's film 'On Falling' explores the insecurity and pressures of migrant working life.

"Even though the film can be dark at points, for me it was really important to preserve the kindness of others." - ON FALLING director @lauracarreira.bsky.social via BBC News

On Falling

Arrives in new cinemas from Today

‘A clarion call for a new generation of social-realist cinema’ @variety.com // @guylodge.bsky.social

In Cinemas Now

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social I hope we will be getting a review for 'on falling' this week. A film that charts the disconnect of 21st century life, while exploring humanity throughout. The perfect successor to Laverty, Loach, O'Brien etc. A first feature from director/writer Laura Carreira

Usually I’m in the audience at the BFI, but today I had the privilege of being on the panel for the screening of ON FALLING on release day.

This visceral film powerfully depicts the isolation and dehumanisation within the gig economy.

Please watch it and join your trade union!

@kenloach16films.bsky.social saw on falling tonight, brilliant in it's devastating simplicity. Maintains Ken Loaches intrinsic love of humanity. Definitely best seen in the cinema

Get down. Quiet.
