If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

Labour has become more RW extremist than Maggie could ever wish. 😔

La Nina is here and the global cool-down is well underway (global mean sea surface temps are lowest since March 2023).
Remember it's not the individual ups & downs that matter, it's the steady warming trend, which will continue until we reach zero carbon emissions.

I've consistently called for Labour to put up taxes ON THE WEALTHY.
Labour's SOLEMN PLEDGE not to increase income tax was insanely stupid.
But they made the pledge. It was their signature promise in the election.
Ripping it up now will destroy Labour - and further wreck faith in democracy.

Country Overshoot Day 2025 calendar
The Country Overshoot Day 2025 calendar shows the dates by which humanity would have used up everything Earth can renew for that year, if all people consumed at the level of that country.
@thetimes.com An affluent middle class who expect fresh out of season, holiday in AirBnB to displace locals and pollute without care. We're in this together. Mother Nature cares not an iota for affected aspiration. Our planet can't support us as is...

Totally agree. It’s pathetic “journalism”. All about the greedy & selfish rich elite retaining their grip on wealth & power.

The only thing to like about this right wing drivel is that Green members like myself are addressed as "kids."
I'm 73, so I'd be flattered, if not for the source.

Sorry kids, greens fantasy politics don't add up
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.
Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.
And every day we are growing.

Government's repeat protest restrictions worse than feared - Liberty
@libertyhq.bsky.social Found in course of discussion on X. @chriscurtis94.bsky.social you're my MP. Do you agree to remove freedoms in a democracy?
Surely peaceful and informed discourse is essential to a progressive society? @zackpolanski.bsky.social ?

🚨UPDATE WITH COMMENT FROM THE BBC: Byline Times can confirm that of the four-person BBC panel that interviewed Prescott and made the decision to appoint him as an advisor, three of them had longstanding Conservative Party ties. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis.
Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

Instead of building humanoid robots--which is incredibly expensive and riddled with inefficiencies--why not just enslave the human race?

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.
