What is ‘Far-Right’? - 99% Why we need to be able to call it out now There is no simple, agreed definition of far-right, but we urgently need one: We know what ‘right-wing’ means – […]

YouTube video by NowThis Impact Why Is a Man Unsure About Humanity’s Worth Helping Design Its Digital Future?

Don’t want to worry you unduly, but it’s very hard to find any footage of the techbros and datagarchs saying they really like people. Sure, ‘humanity’ as a concept gets positive reviews but nothing really warm and memorable about people. youtube.com/shorts/LXpc1...

Privatisation broke our water system.

Millions of tonnes of toxic sewage sludge spread on UK farmland every year Exclusive: Experts call for stricter regulation as current rules set in 1989 require testing for only a few heavy metals

At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵

Trump has just increased the global threat level to an incredible degree...

Now any country can execute a preemptive attack on any facility in any other country under the spurious grounds of self-defence, and point to the example of the USA striking Iran as the justification for their own action.

Good morning everyone.

How do we all feel about WWIII?

I am ashamed, not surprised.

What you need to know about DWP disability benefit cuts as big changes unveiled Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has published the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill to enact plans to slash £5billion from the welfare bill by 2030

“From November 2026, people would need to score a minimum of four points in at least one daily activity to qualify. Needing help to get in or out of the shower, or supervision to use the toilet are measures that don't meet this threshold”

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Almost all the economics taught, and which informs our politics, is completely rubbish

Almost all the economics taught, and which informs our politics, is completely wrong. youtu.be/dc1egz5Om90?... No wonder the world is in a mess when political decisions are based on this nonsense.

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election...

The Origin Story episodes about Appeasement have been superb. Eye opening. Thinking about it for days on end. But now I hear on British radio asking if Brits should be bothered with countries like Estonia, a long way away 😭😭

An answer to Reform’s call for more expensive energy Why are Reform UK so keen to push up energy prices, blocking the cheapest sources of energy, and giving control to international markets?

Reform says “no” to onshore wind at 4p/kWh, and “yes” to gas at 11p and nuclear at 13p.

That’s not policy—that’s sabotage. They would ban cheap renewables. Keep you hooked on fossil fuels. Make you pay triple.

Eurovision crew member hit with paint amid bid to disrupt Israeli performance Two pro-Palestinian protesters try to rush on stage as Yuval Raphael sings New Day Will Rise in Basel

A reminder that Eurovision banned Russia while Israel continues to participate.

Meanwhile the Israeli government has killed at least 140 ppl in 24h and has been openly starving Gaza for over two months.

Yeah Russell, I hate a cynical rebrand.

Especially when right wing rapists suddenly “find god” in the hope it’ll help them avoid prison.

Hypothetically speaking of course…

Global warming reaches 1.58C over 12 months Record heat for almost two years leads to concerns about ‘inevitable’ breach of lower Paris accord target

Those who say that Net Zero by 2050 to limit global temperature rises to 1.5c are not based on science are right.

It should have been 2025.

Ineligible, inept and unspeakable Reform UK Ltd’s councillors, are already proving they are unfit or unwilling to serve

🔥 "The Reform company, sorry party, has already seen four of their new cohort announce that they can’t or won’t represent them in the council chamber, decisions that in some cases will cost local government tens of thousands of pounds."
