I think this was a plotline on the second season of The Newsroom

How can MPs act with urgency on climate if they don’t even know the deadline has already arrived?

New UEA study finds public and politicians dangerously misinformed.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

@chrischirp.bsky.social We can already see how the Trump effect is getting a hold in the UK

The Tories want to mimic ICE force & to withdraw climate change actions

Racial intimidation & slurs are even more prevalent

The U.S. Justice Department is undergoing its most significant reorganization in two decades, a move that will cut roughly 275 positions and shut down long-standing offices tackling drug cartels, racial tensions, and access to justice.

I've had the privelige of being with Jewish friends on Yom Kippur, and with Moslem friends for the Eid (both). I am an agnostic. But people of any religion should be allowed to celebrate their faiths when and how they choose. Tolerate and celebrate difference. It's not difficult.

Like the tories were caught inside an anti-EU bubble - and we know how that ended (or continues in terms of negative effects). The UK deserves a much better leadership, modern & forward-looking, intelligent & sensitive to the reality experienced by those whose lives they impact.

There is a key moral distinction between immigration policy on new arrivals, no matter how draconian, and on people who have already been granted status, on set conditions. It is about being a country that keeps its word. If we're not that, we might as well fucking give up now.

The Russian spy ship stalking Europe’s subsea cables Covert operations in waters surrounding the British Isles pose a grave threat to critical infrastructure and a fresh challenge to Nato

Last November 🇷🇺 military spy ship Yantar, kitted with a full armoury of surveillance equipment, was on a mission to map & potentially intercept the undersea cables on which Nato allies rely for internet access, energy, military communications & financial transactions

I am increasingly aware that those in power don't live in the modern world as well as not living in the real world. We deserve a better, more outward, forward looking and aware choice of political actors.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.
