England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year Government and water companies are devising emergency plans for worst water shortage in decades

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

Enjoying point blank views of this gorgeous Firecrest at Sandwick, Shetland on Wednesday when it was joined by a second individual! Unlike their commoner cousins, Firecrests are much rarer here with only a handful of records every year.

Tim Davie expected to resign as BBC director general Corporation has faced accusations of ‘serious and systemic’ bias in its reporting

Tim Davie expected to resign as BBC DG.

The person who SHOULD go is Robbie Gibb. His presence is a poison in the bloodstream of the national broadcaster.

Tufnell is as pro oil & gas industry as they come. Must be the fumes from Sea Empress spill affected him when he was kid.

He’s a member of commission for Carbon Competitiveness which appears to be a lobbying group on behalf Fossil Fuel dependent companies who are trying to water down or block net zero

Labour MP Warns Government Against Rushing 'Grand Vision' Of Transition To Net Zero Labour MP Henry Tufnell has warned against the government moving too quickly on the clean energy transition and leaving communities behind, after P...

The 33-year-old MP has already stuck his head above the parapet on multiple issues

He opposed the inheritance tax changes affecting farmers & initially rebelled against the govt’s proposed welfare reforms

Read my full interview with @tufnellhenry.bsky.social here 👇

He was a truly terrible director general. There were many reasons he could have gone. This is really the most preposterous and absurd.

The right wing has forced out a right winger from the BBC for not being right wing enough and will now talk more about the BBC not being right wing enough in right wing papers and right wing talk shows that hate the BBC for not being right wing enough

I'd love to see what the Welsh and Scottish voters think, I suspect it's a very difficult story to what's being painted here.

In general on trust in media we found that people are more likely to trust traditional media to provide an accurate account of the world and to help understanding, but new media better at showcasing more perspectives.

Our seven segments of Britain show a similar pattern with more liberal and left leaning segments more likely to trust the BBC but more socially conservative segments less so - though every segment is more likely to trust the BBC than not.

Reform voters are more likely to say that the BBC is too soft when it interviews politicians, but more likely to say the BBC is too harsh when interviewing Nigel Farage. More Lib Dem & Green voters say they are too soft on Farage, while more Labour & Tory voters say about right

🧵 While the BBC remains fairly well trusted overall and one of the most trusted media sources in the country, the broadcaster has an image problem with Reform voters who are much less likely than average to say they trust the broadcaster and are split between trust/distrust.

Why does the Conservative Party tolerate the membership of Susan Hall? Why, in particular, do Conservatives in #London?

I haven’t been posting on here very much recently, but thought I’d post this photo of a Dicyrtoma fusca springtail. What a beauty…

Fantastic response from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on the disgraceful refusal by Government to put money into the tropical forest fund

Well it's an interesting media world when you have to resign for speaking the truth.
And the bastion of integrity that you have on your news show to provide 'expert comment' on the situation is Kelvin MacKenzie.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

The BBC should serve as an example to all that there is nothing you can give the far rabid right that will satisfy it.

It has simpered, pandered, soft-balled and fluff-jobbed, both-sidesed and debased itself into being a platform for liars to look down the camera and lie on, & it still gets fucked.

Let’s normalise separating THE BBC from BBC NEWS. It’s a very fucking important distinction. Thanks for your attention to this matter.x

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Welcome to 21st-century politics: a bitter revolt against power that will consume Labour and the Tories | John Harris A mood of turbulence and insurgency against the two main parties has been building for years, says Guardian columnist John Harris

“An electoral system completely ill-suited to seven-party politics may give Reform a Commons majority, or allow it to lead a coalition. That would be a waking nightmare”

A reminder that Badgers are still being unjustly culled under this Government.

Leaving the EU means the U.K.’s national broadcaster must now kowtow to the King of America.

Grotesque.

One can’t help but suspect that the Telegraph is going to be disappointed by whoever is appointed if they are to the left of Attila the Hun.
