Whereas stealing artists’ work is killing their industry, so…

Polish PM Donald Tusk is 💯 correct. North Stream 2 was a grave geopolitical mistake, as Poland and the Baltic states warned for decades.

Europe must never again be dependent on Russian gas, and must hasten the transition away from fossil fuels that fund autocracy and destroy our environment.

UK plastic waste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows Campaigners say increase in exports mostly to Malaysia and Indonesia is ‘unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism’

Unless we cut production and distribution of plastic we will never get on top of the problem. Putting all the obligation onto consumers will never be enough.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

A crucial turning point.
Time to get on board, Keir

YEAH! 👍 Renewables ☀️ 💨 💦 overtake coal globally for 1st time on record, per records from 88 countries representing 93% of demand globally

Let’s just walk over the screaming naysayers & push on, leaving them in a squabbling mess in the corner

We’ll just step up harder

Gary Neville is right that Britain once took pride in its mix of people, united by purpose not hate, but Brexit and those who profit from division have broken that spirit, and rebuilding it must begin with decency, solidarity and the will to stand together again.

Jane Goodall said she’d like to send off to another planet: Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi & Netanyahu. 🚀

This destroys the argument that being Anti-Zionist is also to be antisemitic.
I doubt these Jewish rabbis are antisemites.

Arson attack on mosque in Sussex last night.

It is time for everyone to come out and condemn Islamophobia.

But will they?

Deporting 750,000 people, even setting aside the hideous cruelty, would be economically idiotic.

Leader's Speech - Zack Polanski at Green Party Conference 2025 YouTube video by Green Party of England & Wales

Best way to make sense of Labour’s desperate mud-slinging at @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s speech is to watch it for yourself, then make up your own mind as to why they’re so rattled. Starts around the 18:30 mark.

Stick this in your oil pipe and smoke it Donald Trump.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

Spain’s Renewable-Energy Boom Loosens Gas’s Grip on Power Prices Soaring renewables output in Spain is weakening gas’s grip on electricity prices, setting the country apart from much of Europe where fossil fuels still dictate the cost of power.

"Spain’s rapid renewables build-out means that in the first half of this year, its power prices were set by fossil generation just 19% of the time [..] As a result, wholesale electricity was almost a third cheaper than the European Union average"

This is great work. But this article in particular should be raising eyebrows and a LOT of questions

This is crazy. Inside the hall, the Labour Party votes to accept the fact that Netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza. Yet outside the hall, people protesting against that genocide are being arrested because of laws brought in by the Labour Party.

Nathan Gill got caught. Other Putin tools remain at large.

Nathan Gill’s treachery puts him in same league as the “Cambridge Five” Reform’s Russia connections may endanger our security – time for a public inquiry

Reform’s Russia connections are a danger to our national security.

It’s time for a public inquiry. 🔥

Keir Starmer to tell Labour conference growth is the ‘antidote to division’ In a combative speech, the prime minister will pledge to raise living standards and ‘face down’ threats of a volatile world

But he also embraces the basic Brexit paradigm that leaves the Exchequer £40bn a year worse off from being outside the single market and a customs union. £40bn a year that could have been spent on public services and help heal division.

In fact: in more cases than not, immigration is actually at least part of the answer to address the real issue. So basically: anti-immigration policies constitute a *double negative* - they prevent addressing the real issues by providing the wrong focus and they likely make the real issue worse.

This issue, and Neil Kinnock’s comments, comes up a lot at meetings at the #LabourConference2025 , usually with supportive comments on Neil’s line.

"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

Burnham at fringe #Lab25 event: "Look at the last decade we've had. Shouldn't we start calling out the disaster that #Brexit has been, more directly? They are the people who took us down this path. That's their doing. And we've got to absolutely hold them accountable for that." ~AA

Moldova beat the Russian interference in its election by...
1. Recognising it existed
2. Fighting it.
Two things that Britain never did with the Brexit ref.
🇪🇺 🇲🇩

If not longer!

Moldova's pro-EU party wins vote mired in claims of Russian interference The election was seen as critical for Moldova's EU path, and President Maia Sandu warned the country's future was in danger.

Some really welcome news from Moldova. The lesson, once again: When broadly moderate, liberal voters grasp the magnitude of the danger and unite, they win - and win big. ~AA
