It's not about fundraising & not for fundraisers (eg., evidence about who's giving to what).

It's a little experiment - with @clarewoodcraft.bsky.social, and peer-learning & upskilling. If interested, please message me - and say where you are located, for logistics reasons. Thanks.

Kind of therapy mixed with practical peer exchange for problem solving . What’s not to like?

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.

Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?

Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Green Party leader calls for Farage to quit over tax affairs Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself

Palestinians are starving to death in Gaza.

The RAF conducted some aid drops into Gaza under the Conservative government, but these drops have seemingly stopped altogether under Labour.

What is stopping Keir Starmer from authorising more aid drops into Gaza?

Thinking about the shift at a political level - it must be mostly to do with the fear of being found complicit in war crimes. Because the public scrutiny on this isn’t going away anytime soon.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #vet corporatisation - this is what private health care for humans looks like. What so many countries with no welfare state deal with on a daily basis #NHS

Alex de Waal | Starvation in Gaza Twice already during this war, the people of Gaza have pulled back from the brink of categorical famine – both times...

‘This is surveillance humanitarianism, the food-targeting counterpart to the IDF’s algorithms that select whom to bomb.’

Korean scientists have developed transparent solar panels that can be embedded into windows, allowing buildings to generate electricity without altering their appearance.

If you were shocked by my film on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, you haven’t been paying attention | Louis Theroux The response to The Settlers has been humbling. But the ongoing displacement and intimidation of Palestinians is more severe than we could capture, says documentary presenter Louis Theroux

This is now intolerable, criminal and at the most crucial tipping point yet.

Israel and the US are AWOL on all law & morality and must be stopped. No ifs or buts or hiding heads in the sand from it.

We need to face it head on. Write to your MP.

“Something that some of us did was to try and platform Palestinian voices. One of the problems we have, as you say, is they are iced out. Americans don't hear from Palestinians.”

Can the US switch off Europe’s weapons? Long hooked on American defence exports, allies feel buyers’ remorse over hardware dependent on Washington support

Sobering reminder : 🇺🇸 defence stuff losing its cachet

“When US foreign policy abruptly changes, the aircraft remain — but contractors, spare parts and badly needed software updates suddenly disappear. Within weeks, more than half the aircraft are grounded.”

In 2024 we pulled together the full story of the impact of Brexit so far.

All the stats. Laid bare.

Here they are. 👇

“We create a pretend world. We are a global production company: We write the screenplay, we're the directors, we're the producers, we're the main actors, and the world is our stage.”

Where is oil extracted, traded and consumed each year?

Here's a rather complex map that features data from the Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy showing global consumption and production of oil in 2023.

Oil still makes up a1/3 of world's primary energy mix.

A standing illustration showing 40 scale drawings of different prehistoric creatures with a human figure. The human is stomped on, eaten, ripped to pieces, smacked, stabbed and many other ways to come to an end. The drawings are all black silhouettes, spread over a white background

40 WAYS TO DIE IN THE PREHISTORIC. Enjoy!

These illustrations were made as scale drawing for a book about prehistoric creatures. Thought it would be fun to have a bit more interaction between the animals and human figures

Hammersmith Bridge timeline

Notre Dame in Paris has been fully restored from its catastrophic fire... (it re-opens on Sunday) in *less time than it has taken to not fix Hammersmith Bridge* 😡😡

Keeping HB closed seems to be a deliberate choice too 😭
