The announcements from #KemiBadenoch’s Conservative Party so far show the#Tories are looking to outflank #Reform for divisiveness and hatred. But they also show a party quickening its pace towards oblivion - said @mothinali.bsky.social

Graphic featuring a close-up wind turbine over farmland under a cloudy sky. Headline reads: “THE WORLD MOVES FORWARD WITH RENEWABLES AS TORIES LOOK BACK.” Below is a quote from Green MP Carla Denyer: “The news that renewable energy overtook coal as the world’s leading source of electricity shows our world is moving in a cleaner, greener, healthier direction, but the Tories are plotting how they can block both people and the planet from benefitting from this transition.” Bottom shows Carla Denyer’s headsh

As the world moves forwards and embraces renewable energy,

At Conference, the Tories plot to drag us back — abolishing the Climate Change Act and ‘maximising extraction’ of North Sea oil and gas.

Looks like Devon & Cornwall Police had their priorities right, unusual for these times. It’s ridiculous that pacifists are being arrested for speaking out about the horrors of the genocide.

It's the affiliation to a foreign genocidal power #starmerout

From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It” I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement and move toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

As a Rhodes Scholar, David Adler knows the importance of “fighting the world’s fight” to protect the most vulnerable.

And, as a Jewish American who’s watched Netanyahu’s Israel starve Gazans, this particular fight was hugely important to him personally.

I like Zack Polanski for the same reason I like Zohran Mamdani.

He’s happy to stand for something.

And in a world of pandering focus grouped bullshit politics, it’s really kind of refreshing.

Robert Peston @Peston Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference. He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: “right wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadow…We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.” 4:26 PM · Oct 7, 2025 · 16.2K Views

Fellow flotilla activists are alleging Greta Thunberg was horrifically mistreated in Israeli detention.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

You don’t have to imagine it. It’s been widely documented:

Greta Thunberg releases a video describing the conditions faced by Palestinian adults and children in Israeli custody after her release.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize
