Why do we not hear about this from @libdems.org.uk on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social ? An important take on our relationship with the USA. We must hear more from ALL our parties inc LibDems Greens, SNP and Plaid.

You know what does make me 'proud' about Britain? Our creative arts scene. You know what successive governments have tried to remove working class access to? Our creative arts scene.

The most stupid thing is that the money could be much better spent on a processing centre in France. It would stop the boats overnight, give a safe route for eligible persons, be far more efficient, save lives, reduce housing costs within the Uk for migrants, and stop protests

Hundreds object to Stroud solar farm plans - BBC News If approved, developers say the panels will power around 11,000 homes.

While the fossil fuel-funded Reform party campaigns against renewables, the BBC sees fit to run a headline on 260 people objecting to a small solar farm in Stroud. This directly bolsters the Reform narrative that renewables are unpopular, despite opinion polls showing the exact opposite.

Zackโ€™s campaign film got almost 3M organic views.
Because of Zackโ€™s reach. Because of the urgency. But also because of how it was built โ€” structure, rhythm, framing.

I break it down in the first post on my new blog, Video Activist:

Car tyres are the main source of microplastics in the atmosphere and waterways.

It's in our urine and bloodstream, and there's enough in your brain to make a plastic spoon.

But good news; if we cared, we could filter these tyre particles from waterways, so fish are good.

Problem solved. Drive on.

Former Tory MP Adam Holloway has defected to Reform. As someone who 'mistakenly' overclaimed ยฃ1,000 on expenses, defended an MP who sexually assaulted a 15 year old and tried to influence a judge over another MP charged with sexual assault, he should fit in perfectly.

Revealed: How foreign billionaires pump millions into British politics The Elon Musk-shaped hole in Starmerโ€™s Election Bill

Foreign billionaires circumvent laws and pump millions into British politics.

Unincorporated associations, shell companies, companies controlled from abroad used.

The aim: produce govts subservient to corporations and the rich.

End corruption. Give democracy a chance. Ban all political donations.

In Sep โ€˜23 the tories housed 56,000 asylum seekers in hotels

In March โ€˜25 the number stood at about 32,345

These latest figures show a significant drop .

A graphic showing 12 councillors and 10 key organisers from Bristol Green Party who are backing Zack Polanski's leadership bid. It includes the following statement: "Bristol has shown what Greens can achieve with ambition and vision. For us to break through nationally, we now need bold leadership that will reach people everywhere. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re backing Zack Polanski for Green Party Leader."

We've been making steady steps forward in recent years, but now we need to take a huge stride. The political stage is set for a real alternative that challenges the elites and gives power to the people. We need to grab it with both hands with @zackpolanski.bsky.social as our next Green Party leader!

Just joined the Green Party so I can #BackZack for leader.

I am hopeful the Greens can become a mainstream political force for the first time in my life - but it's clear Ellie and Adrian aren't willing to change.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is the only choice here.

Good news alert

That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p)
