Farmers and fishermen ( who are by no means united) amount to a tiny percentage of the vote.

I always wonder why it is believed that somehow Cornwall was a massive Brexit supporter. It was overall 56:44 not good, but the stall was in Falmouth, part of the Truro and Falmouth constituency that voted to remain.

Great stall in Falmouth on 4th July!
Perfect weather, super volunteers, lots of visitors & 11 new members. A young Dutch man was interested to find out all about Brexit and why it happened. He's here on an internship fully funded by Erasmus - something lost to our young people!

I was missing you in the other place. Glad to see you are still posting stuff don’t worry it won’t always be to a vacuum

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Many of the Jews who died in the Warsaw Ghetto died of starvation, disease & hypothermia. These were an integral part of the Nazi #genocide.

Trump picks Matthew Whitaker as nominee for NATO ambassador -statement President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday he has chosen former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Trump picks former acting AG Matthew Whitaker, an "America First" Trump sycophant with no foreign policy experience, as NATO ambassador.

The UK needs to work much more closely with European partners on security. The "special relationship" is a dangerous liability.

Seems like a good day to join BlueSky - please do share any helpful follow suggestions 🙂

If she can’t take the heat…

Part of University of Wales nothing wrong with that.

I have just deleted my x account I could not wait any longer.

.@Ofcom is now responsible for the regulation of sites like this in the UK. Just one problem. Ofcom's chair, a Tory appointment, has expressed enthusiasm for far right statements. Under his leadership, Ofcom's decisions have shown blatant rightwing bias. Starmer must sack him.

Those of us who want Musk to get out of our politics (about which he knows nothing and cares less), and for X to stop facilitating and encouraging murderous racist thugs and vile abuse, need to act.

Lots of us have to act or it won’t work.

Suggestions: RT if you agree.

Lib Dems plan to ‘finish the job’ in Tory heartlands, says Ed Davey In first interview since the election, leader says party’s 72 MPs have a platform for the next parliament

“With the Lib Dems now fewer than 50 seats behind the Conservatives, taking another chunk out of Tory strongholds could see Davey’s party targeting second place in the Commons…the Conservatives are making a compelling case to be consigned to history.” www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

England’s GPs are squaring up to the government – but it’s an unnecessary battle | Polly Toynbee The tragedy for patients if industrial action seriously disrupts treatment is that doctors and ministers pretty much agree, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Tories “promised 6,000 more GPs in 2019, the number has instead fallen while their workload has increased by 20%, with far more difficult cases. England spends less and has fewer doctors and GPs per head than almost any other EU15 country.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Angela Rayner accuses Tory of 'stirring up' problems with 'Allahu Akbar' claim Tory leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick has been condemned by Muslim politicians and community groups for saying those who shout 'Allahu Akbar' in the streets should be arrested

When will Tory MPs, before they open their mouths stop and think before inviting racism and hate?

And what the hell is the owner of X - who has bigged up Tommy Robinson and Paul Golding - doing tell us that “civil war is inevitable” in Britain?

Elon Musk and the role of X should be a major part of any investigation into the violence of the last few days

I've just opened this Bluesky account as Twitter/X has become an open sewer presided over by a fascist megalomaniac. Still there as Tom___Scott but possibly not for much longer. Interests: Green #politics, #climate, #disinformation, #history, #fascism, #science, #books, #writing, and much else...
