Let communities own rivers, woods & moors!

Excellent to see @simonforstroud.bsky.social has tabled amendments 107 & 108 to the Devolution Bill to strengthen Community Right to Buy laws in this way.

We need more Labour MPs to support this - email yours:

How about trying to see normalcy? Might work. As in the benefits of your viewpoint, but actively applied to current thinking as opposed to the other way round. You might help society #neurodiversity #victimmindset

The Renters' Rights Act may be the first law to improve my life Labour should make more of a fuss of these long overdue reforms

"I have had six landlords, nine flatmates, [and] two section 21 eviction notices....It is the first moment in my lifetime that I am aware of a piece of legislation materially impacting my life in a positive way. I think this is what enfranchisement is supposed to feel like."

“Privatisation was the experiment — and it’s failed. We have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege.”

Zack Polanski says it’s time to bring water back into public hands on #BBCPoliticsNorth.

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

Sick of BBC continuously promoting Reform U.K. and ignoring other parties with far more representation? Please sign the petition

They told us privatisation would mean
better services at less cost
They told us the more millionaires the better
because wealth would trickle down
The opposite happened
They lied,
and despite having been proved wrong
they're still lying

We need debate on whether it is moral or sustainable given #climatechange to maintain an economic system based on infinite growth. We need *new ideas*, eg on keeping older people active & helping society - ie lateral thinking outside of human rights stalemate.

Gus Speth: "The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that."

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Facts are important. Or are they? Increasingly beginning to wonder...

All for context & also non scapegoating immigrants but what you cite from BBC journalist exchange does not prove that it is false to say Afghans & Eritreans committed more 'sex offences' relative to other racial groups. Do you know the exact data source for the BBC fact please?

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party.

🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

US anti‑abortion cash floods UK free speech frontlines Democracy for Sale investigation finds US anti‑abortion lawyer funding Toby Young’s Free Speech Union, while Alliance Defending Freedom’s UK spending soars.

When a conservative talking point suddenly becomes a widespread topic of conversation in public life, you can bet it's because loads of money has been poured into promoting it. Another crucial exposure by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social : democracyforsale.substack.com/p/us-antiabo...

The global temperature may be even higher than we thought Researchers have proposed a more accurate way to calculate the global surface air temperature, which suggests we are just three years away from breaching the 1.5°C climate goal

We are just three years away from 1.5°c climate warming barrier - the 'hot' model is the correct one.

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Ecologists’ horror as nature reserves around the world are emptied of insects - with rising temperatures joining habitat destruction as likely causes:

The astonishing thing is how major mainstream media platforms, publishing companies etc have given this man all the rewards and platforms you might expect them to give an actual great thinker. Actually not astonishing, entirely predictable.

London Tate Modern's incredible 'Electric Dreams' show features artworks inspired by scientific advances. This 60's piece from Wen-Ying Tsai reacts to sound. Strangely relevant for me to how gravity now likely a quantum force via string theory... #science #twocultures #loveletterfromascientist
