Joined the Greens because Labour left me when they started targeting protesters and abandoning juries. Humanist. Hopefully woke. I block people who say shitty things. If that’s you, you can take it personally, I don’t mind. DMs won’t be answered.

94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside andy burnham's Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

Audience Participation is exactly as I would have assumed. Masks off, vile demonic faces on full display. Baying and chanting. Kicking and grabbing. Base behaviour unleashed after years of muted frustration. I hope every one of the identified are paraiahed in their home towns.

The ‘British values’ brigade in action.

A few sentences into the article we learn “no arrests were made” when a blockade of masked men in blackshirts held up traffic at a major port. Shame on the police as their preference for easier arrests of OAPs protesting genocide & Quakers is made plain, again. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Man at Reform conference yanks a woman by the hair, grabs her face, pulls her over, and multiple people assault her. Farage laughs then says, "She looked like she was going to do herself an injury." And then leads the crowd in a chant of "Boring, Boring, Boring". www.facebook.com/watch/?v=217...

There's been a real failure on the part of progressive leaders this summer to link the weather and Net Zero in the public mind. Most people get it, but the consensus is crumbling and it would be useful to reinforce it.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

I know he has a lot on, but in the midst of a ferocious drought, fires, heat events and severe threats to food production, it would be quite edifying to hear Andy Burnham mention climate breakdown.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

As people die, travel is disrupted and schools and businesses close their doors to prevent pupils and staff suffering heatstroke, the I Paper reports this climate change disaster with a jaunty snap of some kids having fun in the sun. The press has fostered the denial belittling science and health.

How conventient for political journalists, to all be gathered in Downing Street once more, so they can interview each other, to ask "how did this happen?", without ever acknowledging that, at least in part, they themselves are how this happened.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Odd - I remember back when a 'proper Brexit' meant the NHS getting an extra £350m a week. Turns out what the quitlings really meant was stripping us of human rights and banning all those pesky laws that protect workers. Oh, and privatising the NHS and allowing cancer-causing pesticides. 🤔

This is horrendous and needs to be read, understood and widely shared. Dip into the thread and the connected articles. In the UK, we should use our outrage as a red flag when we think about supporting Reform and their desire to sever us from the ECHR. The Endgame should terrify us all.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

A timelapse of the enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest in Chicago yesterday (Sun Jan 25, 2026). They’re trying to tell you it’s a Minneapolis story, that protests are small and confined. They’re lying. (🎥 Craig Shimala)

I know I’m out and joined the Greens, but surely whether Andy Burnham stands should be up to the party membership? As in - do THEY want this man as a representative? I really don’t approve of some biased committee getting the final say on who represents and who doesn’t.
