youtu.be/dGeyNnZlKqA?... If Farthing Wood was made now people would say it's too political for a kids show.

Andy Burnham has traded our future for Jackdaw Gas Field. Stand with Carla Denyer and the Green Party: only a transition to renewables can save our climate and economy.

Won't bring bills down. Creates barely any jobs. Won't help energy security. Will increase emissions. Great work, Labour 🙄 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Andy Burnham is the most transphobic PM ever, by a very, very wide margin. It’s not even close. Vile man.

The BBC is already giving Nigel Farage coverage for a speech he hasn’t even delivered. Report on what he says tomorrow, by all means. But previewing it now gives him free publicity and lets him set the agenda before anyone can scrutinise his words.

Suella Braverman too proud for benefits... Went to university for free Studied in Europe using the heavily subsidised Erasmus program Claimed ALL her rent, energy, council tax bills for at least 5 years Millions of pounds in expenses claims She just doesn't call them benefits

Well done, another great investigation @ Declassified

A society grows great when people plant trees knowing they won't live long enough to stand in their shade - a Greek proverb(altered to make it gender-neutral)

Anyone voting Labour in London at this point rather baffles me. The Labour goverment is openly at odds with much of what London stands for: closer ties with Europe, openness to immigration, a proudly multicultural Britain and serious action on climate change. 1/2

Late Motion to Conference to unfreeze gender-affirming surgeries in Wales: autumnconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Unfreeze... We need 50 co-proposers, ideally by midnight.

#FactoryFarming - a huge #PublicHealth threat, but mink a particularly extreme case. No reason for such farms to exist #H5N1 #OneHealth www.bornfreeusa.org/2026/08/31/f...

Bravo @mapquest.com…. for not bending the knee! #LakeOntario-Now&Forever🇨🇦

I suspect most Brits would, like me, dismally fail current citizenship tests - but Reform UK want even higher deportation targets ... "Reform UK want to introduce a literacy requirement for voting? Guys, I'm not trying to be rude here - but have Reform met their own target voters?" via Ed Kimberley

People don't understand how GDP per capita works so let me show you. 999 workers on $20,000 a year. 1 billionaire on $500,000,000 a year. Gross Domestic Product per person $519,980. Aren't you doing well.

Right now the government is putting our communities, our water security and our climate ambitions second to the demands of tech giants. It's time to slam the brakes on water-guzzling, energy hungry datacentres.

I suspect today's Met Police are told to be more interested in using limited resources monitoring peaceful Palestine Action and climate protests rather than the violent rioters in Reform UK, Restore Britain, Tommy Robinson, and far right splinter groups meme via Bring back news to the UK

If you ever wondered what you would have done when the Nazis were in government look at what you're doing with your life now and you'll have your answer

Dolly Parton's legacy is downright incredible. A woman of huge talent, deep faith and boundless love. She brought the joy of reading to hundreds of millions of children through the Imagination Library, including thousands here in Scotland.

You should have received your ballot by email, but you can also find all the information on the Autumn Conference Agenda Forum. Remember to rank all the motions (even those you don’t support) otherwise your vote will count for less than others!

Over 3000 people died this summer due to excess heat.

This work of genius by @paulnoth.bsky.social in the NYT has always been the perfect summary of people like Farage and their voters.

It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.

🔴 All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are not allowed to accept secretariat services “funded directly or indirectly by a foreign government”. But we found that some cross-party groups are being funded by foreign states. New on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-t...

So let's get this clear Britain is burning up as the early impact of climate change destroys homes. Burnham holds crisis "Cobra" meeting. And concludes that we should slow down - yes slow down!!! - the move away from fossil burning cars. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How does anyone look at this and go "yh, this is the world I wanna bring a child into'?

From Tehran to Washington to London to Tokyo we'll be partying in the streets

Never forget that the clowns who are currently saying “we can’t stop climate change, just accept it” are the same people who spent the last decade doing everything possible to prevent us from stopping climate change.

They betrayed future generations just as present governments still are. They will not forgive us nor should we expect them to.

At what point is the government gonna treat this with the seriousness it deserves?

New Times investigation: George Cottrell was seen in Reform UK's HQ in Millbank Tower. A source in the offices said he was "seemingly unfussed about being spotted". His business has changed its registered company address to Millbank Tower. But the party still insists he has "no role". OK then...

The 'reality' of climate change!

It's amazing that this guy managed it. But Mark Zuckerberg and Prince William, who both claim to be fighting Climate Change, use $400m Megayachts that use as much gasoline as 2,000 cars.

Andy Burnham says the bigger questions of oil and gas will come "at the right moment in time." On the eve of another heatwave when thousands of people have died already, when is a better time to rule out drilling for new oil and gas?

There seems to be an evolving pattern here from successive governments. Pandemic? Let the bodies pile high. Genocide? Israel has the right to defend itself (~20,000 dead children later) Climate emergency? Please consider not selling barbecues. Dear god, I despair.

Climate breakdown isn't a political negotiation. It's a scientic reality borne out in lives lost and wildfires. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefight helicopters, a cool space in every community and a maximum working temperature.

Last week Zack demanded that the UK government hold an emergency COBR meeting in response to the climate emergency. The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has finally listened to this call; the PM must set out his plans for how will keep this country safe today and how he will prepare for threats to come.

There's always more

Richard Tice Last Week: “Why don’t the police give us a running commentary on the details of their investigation?” Richard Tice This Week: “Why are the police admitting that they are investigating me?”

There's lots of dumb people. So let me explain. Forest fires start all the time. But Climate Change has made the weather hotter and drier so the fires spread faster and are much harder to put out. So ends today's lesson on the obvious.

In Canada they set a record with a ballot that had I think 100 people!!

The UK embassy in Israel having their Twitter account suspended for posting facts really highlights this point...
