YouTube video by ITV News We uncovered the redacted climate report the government didn’t want you to see

This ITN piece on the suppressed details of the Joint Intelligence Unit’s report to government on the threat to UK security from biodiversity loss is great journalism. Please Do watch. Gov should explain why this was suppressed. (BBC- where were you?) youtu.be/59DZiPdsOc8

Globalisation is under threat from Iran war – and Britain is uniquely vulnerable Economic ripples from US-Israel attacks will soon become waves, engulfing everything from energy prices to food

Excellent article by James Meadway of @macrodosepod.bsky.social on UK's alarming dependence on an unstable world.

This aligns with the message from 10 experts at the

Emergency action to tackle climate & nature breakdown and build resilience now even more pressing. #NEB2025

Very nice metaphor from @timjackson.org.uk on the madness of GDP as the single metric of economic success

What desperate/ false claims did the Greens make? I wasn’t aware of any. In my patch on the day.

No . And we need to get to the bottom of it. I should have been a bit more careful before accusing Labour

Yes. Important to get to the bottom of where this came from.

Agreed. It’s desperate and disgusting from labour . Also this from them today.

So many Greens on the ground today. Quite a bit of Reform too. Not much Labour - except this disgraceful desperate message.

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

Just re-reading bits of Peter Oborne's 2005 excellent book 'The Rise of Political Lying'. Back then he called out so many examples of Peter Mandleson's clear cut lies. Now wee see the concequence of tolerating this. Can we, as a society, learn the lesson in time? (btw pls come to BlueSky Peter)

What do you feel is the biggest threat to our national security right now?

The UK Joint Intelligence Committee has released its report on the threat of biodiversity and ecological collapse on national security.

Its a chilling read: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

Anyone up for "an open, intelligent conversation about how political deception has shaped our democracy... and what we can do to restore honesty, #accountability and #trust"? @mikebernerslee.bsky.social and Jennifer Nadel will be at The North Wall Oxford Jan 27 & the Kenton Theatre, Henley, Jan 28

The fossil fuel industry is waging an information war, and they're winning. We desperately need influential media voices like @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social to give time to trusted independent experts like Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social. 🙏

How is political deception degrading democracy & what can you do about it?

Join @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @jennifernadel.bsky.social & MP Watch in Oxford next Tuesday
