Pedro Sanchez 👏

Please submit your small ideas for fixing Britain to the Small-Ideas.org website. It’s a new charitable initiative I’ve set up to try and make sure life’s potholes don’t get ignored. Working with two charities and a cross party panel to turn your ideas into policy then try and make it happen.

📺 Make Votes Matter in the news 📺 Our CEO @emmacampaigner.bsky.social appeared today on the BBC's Sunday Morning Live, alongside Sir John Curtice and Lord Robert Hayward. We deserve better than this broken voting system that leaves millions of people ignored. It's time for PR 💪

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

It's hard to squeeze even a crumb of comfort out of this MIT assessment. At least we're all becoming aware now. I don't know how on Earth humanity can come together but this will be the challenge of our lives.

My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”

We don’t have to build data centres at this scale and pace. We can develop them in a way that works for communities, not against them.

"I want your children's lungs to be smaller and less functional" is a bold electoral strategy.

Sigh Corruption is endemic. You have a moment of hope that there's a new PM who really could do the right thing for the country and almost immediately. This is a massive mistake by Burnham. Massive.

...beautiful self-deprecation. Anyway go and see him as they will no doubt sell out to the tiny hand brigade. Alas I had to come home to Stafford

This is what's on my mind FFS

Sounds great. Except that the property magnates who actually control policy are corrupt to the core. You couldn't get any of this past them

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

A new government sets its direction early. I've just signed European Movement UK's petition asking Andy Burnham to drop the red lines on Europe and set out a real plan for the UK's European future. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/5_asks_for_a...

Cheers Cervinia, what a beautiful town you are

This one hits hard.

Good. ASI is possibly the biggest threat to humanity, which is quite a claim given Climate Change and the rise of authoritarianism. Awareness needs to be raised. #ifanyonebuildsiteveryonedies

If Trump’s concern was drugs, he’d not have pardoned Honduras’s corrupt leader; if terrorism, he’d have gone after Iran; if world order, Russia; if preserving US power, China. If democracy, human rights or humanitarian motive, dozens of other worthy cases. What’s left is oil. And Epstein.

Silver and me after our parkrun at Trentham today. Achieved our 'first dog' medal today

YES YES YES thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🙏 😩AT LAST someone rasiing the alarm about what Europe's plummeting brith rates really mean!! "In reality, without immigration there will be no Europe, no civilisation and no one left to argue about it."⚠️ It's. that. simple.

This is majestically furious and rightly so. In the face of far right savagery, a lot of people who think themselves reasonable can’t even manage the moral basics

High time for PR!

Legalise *and* regulate drugs. This morning on @jeremyvine.bsky.social: youtu.be/kBjqQAFdBRQ?...

🚨How Britain privatised itself into failure.🚨 Britain outsourced its state – now private firms profit while public services crumble. In 'Failed State', Sam Freedman explains what went wrong.

A rare article in which there's a question in the headline to which the answer is, as @davidgerard.co.uk notes, "basically, literally, yes." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is from my friend, Nabil, in Gaza today. He says there is NO food left. He has never sounded so in despair. Israel is carrying out war crimes; violating international humanitarian law; inflicting collective punishment on a captive people; trying to starve them into submission. It’s obscene.

Top news story on the Express website this morning. Labour will never understand that offering a couple of toes to nibble will never be enough for those craving to gorge on human flesh, while those nauseated by cannibalism will be put off by every possible aspect of their surrender.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Great read from @johnharris1969.bsky.social on how the climate crisis is right at the heart of the current political moment and the unnervingly steady march of populism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.

I find this ridiculously comforting

Hard agree

A very strange UK politics where it seems the two traditional parties are targeting the same ~20% of the population and nobody very much cares about the remaining 80%.

This is one Ted Talk that all Americans should hear right now.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If the 2010s were marked by techno-solutionism, then the 2020s might be the decade of "natural solutionism". Both are flawed, disdain the regulatory state, and in both "expertise is treated as suspect, corrupt, or altogether illegitimate, with anecdotes and mantras replacing verifiable data"

Waiting to hear this from Starmer

If you can afford it, do give a bit of money to @goodlawproject.bsky.social - they're doing great things

This is hugely positive news & shows how Labour can get it right. The Government has beefed up its Workers’ Rights Bill to make it more pro-worker. A series of significant changes on workplace rights and the right to strike have been slipped out by ministers 👏 bylinetimes.com/2025/03/25/k...

The view from across the pond… 😕

Fascinating to watch political communication of positive nationalism. (These are immense political ads.)

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
