‘The president is unhinged’: Trump’s online behavior grows increasingly odd The US president’s recent behavior is strange to many, from reposting a false AI video of himself to confusing comments during press conferences

‘The president is unhinged’: #Trump’s online behavior grows increasingly odd’.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean warming.

"There's nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come - and PR's time has come." Andy Burnham

We agree @andyburnham.bsky.social 💯💯

With record support for PR - in Westminster and among the public - a fairer democracy feels firmly within our reach.

With election results being less representative than ever, it's never been more urgent.

The time for PR is now. #Lab25 #LabourConference2025

Building More Won't Fix the Housing Crisis Housing has become a financial asset that generates vast gains for the wealthy.

"Ending the housing crisis requires attacking one of the foundations of neoliberal capitalism: the idea that we are all little, budding capitalists just waiting for the opportunity to invest in financial markets."

Climate collapse isn’t something that’s just ‘happening’ to us.

It’s something that rich countries are inflicting on themselves - & everyone else.

66 people were arrested outside the Labour Conference yesterday for peacefully holding signs with “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” written on them.

Hundreds of police officers were used to try to enforce Labour’s absurd ban. They failed to arrest everyone.

We're at #LabourConference2025 in Liverpool, asking party members about their views on our democracy.

The message is pretty clear: our voting system is long past its sell-by date.

It’s time to take action: it’s time for Proportional Representation 💪 #Lab25

Christian groups are not the only ones writing to set the Government straight on Rosebank. Some famous music people have told them that it would be in direct opposition to their promises on climate change.

Our 83 year old Rev’d Sue Parfitt has been arrested about 29 times for taking action to protect the climate. Because of this she has been refused Permission to Officiate by her bishop. The Church of England needs to find its courage and encourage prophetic voices like Sue, not silence them.

Today we launched STOP CRUCIFYING CREATION calling for radical change from the Church of England to protect creation in the face of climate breakdown.

Keep fracking out of Britain! I live in Lincolnshire, and a new gas field has been found nearby. Reform UK are already shouting “drill, baby, drill,” and fracking isn’t banned - it’s only paused. That means they could start drilli...

Reform UK are yelling “drill, baby, drill” 🙄 But fracking is reckless & won’t even cut bills. Time to end this nonsense. Tell Ed Miliband: BAN FRACKING permanently. Add your name:

I feel truly heartbroken today. My Chinese takeaway, which has been serving this community for more than 10 years, was vandalized with hateful graffiti telling us to "go home." This is not just paint on the wall - it is blatant discrimination, and it hurts deeply The police are already following up on this incident. If anyone has seen anything or knows who did this, please contact us We work hard every day to serve our customers with love and dedication. I believe our community is stronger than hate, and 1 hope everyone will stand together against this kind of behaviour.

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads.

Race hate.

An excellent point by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social: the asylum seekers in hotels are here legally - that’s why they are given accommodation if they need it - yet they can’t legally work, contrary to what most UK citizens want. That’s one reason they can’t pay for their own accommodation.

Is the BBC now the official mouthpiece for Reform? A study of the BBC’s Question Time has raised concerns about representation and political impartiality

Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup.

"Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

Resist the mass deportation agenda.

#farage #reform #migrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome

Damn right Seema -

We will come out against Farage's Trumpist mass deportations agenda & we will start by marching against the rising hate on September 17th!

Most Palestine Action protesters unlikely to face prison, officials say More than 500 people arrested in London on Saturday for supporting proscribed terrorist group

“Terror” convictions have now been downgraded from “14 years in prison” to cautions and conditional discharges!

A senior minister reportedly says “this is not going to clog up prisons”, suggests cautions could be issued instead.

🚫Cautions. 🚫Guilt.

Lord Dannatt urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at request of US firm Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have ‘input’ into factory attack investigation

This is the type of corruption we are standing against.

A member of the House of Lords urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at the request of a US defence company that employs him as an adviser.
