Please support my efforts to run 107km for the desperate people of Gaza, including a trail marathon on 7 June #strideforpalestinians @medicalaidpal.bsky.social medicalaidforpalestinians.enthuse.com/pf/joe-downie

"Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die." - Elon Musk, 13.09.25 If you're still on X, what are you doing supporting this right-wing monster-multi-billionaire? #DitchX #LeaveX (incidentally, chatGPT claims Musk didn't actually say this..!)

The hypocrisy of the hotel protestors in Epping perfectly summed up by the this Reddit post 👏 From r/Essex

As another heatwave hits the UK, the UK Green Building Council have said the UK’s schools, care homes and offices are not equipped for the effects of global heating. We need a maximum working temperature and urgent adaptation to protect people from the effects of extreme heat.

Dissent is treated as terrorism, while terrorism is just state policy. #PalestineAction

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Oppressive petrol chemical state Saudi Arabia should spend $100bn on the clean energy transition and climate change mitigation, not state of the art weaponry supplied by the US in exchange for AI development. What kind of future world are we creating?

Starmer's Britain. Not even subtle.

After 3 years of negotiating, not the best day to announce a trade deal with India 🇮🇳... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw... #indiapakistan

www.nts.live/shows/breakf... feel like I'm playing catch up with NTS, wish I'd started listening years ago, so much good music!

One of the most grotesque contrasts in the history of human civilisation.

Enjoyed a lot of great photography and art yesterday! #leighbowery #80sphotography #tatemodern #tatebritain

Well done @just-stopoil.bsky.social, got to keep up the pressure though. #resistanceworks

“By going cap in hand to fossil fuel firms and millionaires in offshore tax havens, Nigel Farage is making it very clear who he’s working for—his elite mates—not us.” ✍️ @writesbright.bsky.social 👉 desmog.com/2025/04/25/nigel-farage-reform-uk-top-fundraiser-nick-candy-targets-oil-gas-donations/

. @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social is bang-on Disabled people, carers, pensioners risk being treated like suspects by default. Don’t punch down. Let’s look up & deal with the billions being asset stripped and price-gouged from above.

Every MP who advocates for this needs a letter detailing how each Death by Dangerous Driving conviction panned out in their constituency. If you think the risk from our roads comes from cycling, you need to think harder.

‘We obsess over the angry young men going Reform. But what of the anxious young women going Green?’ Good piece by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on a political trend that’s been ignored in favour of the media’s bias towards a) Farage b) men in general www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

An important message.

Amazing to see UK solar powering 40% of national grid!! Only a few short years ago, 1% would have been impressive! IEA says clean green solar now cheapest source of new electricity. Costing a fraction of fossil gas. Go @edmilliband.bsky.social ... #YesWeAre

These Trump tariffs are getting out of hand. #TrumpTariffs

Trump makes Liz Truss look competent. #trumptariffs

👏👏Brill to see @chrishinchliff.bsky.social stand up for his constituents & support public ownership. Water is an essential resource & public water is fundamental to a healthy democracy. @weownit.org.uk @labourlewis.bsky.social @mpwatch.bsky.social @zero-hour.bsky.social @peoplesmomentum.bsky.social

Tony Benn would have been 100 years old today. It's been 11 years since he died, but his legacy lives on in our collective struggles for justice, equality and peace. Happy birthday Tony! 🌹

Hey @naturalengland.bsky.social PLEASE install bike parking at ALL your National Nature Reserves car-parks? Cycles to Moat Pond today & zero bike parking facilities. No Climate = No Nature. This precious Nature reserve suffered devastating wildfire last year. Lets prioritise climate action!!

"I will not be complicit in genocide". 👏👏👏 Well done to these protesters disrupting UK minister Jonathan Reynolds, who has shamefully approved exports of military parts to Israel for use in Gaza

Check out my run on Strava: strava.app.link/Lixtcg6lXRb #orion15 was hard work but glad I did it.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... I love this

John Cooper Clarke is BACK on the road this week in celebration of World Poetry Day 🌎 Joined by a series of very special guests including Linton Kwesi Johnson, @freyabeer.bsky.social, Henry Normal and Jan Brierton 🎟Tickets are available via the 🔗 in bio - act fast as there is limited availability

The only beneficiaries of Trump's government are predatory oligarchs and corporations, the concierges who represent them, and the sadists empowered to hurt and kill. Everyone else will suffer, one way or another.

Israel has cut off the entry of all food and other goods into Gaza. The United Nations and other humanitarian aid providers are calling the decision a violation of international law.

If you're not insanely concerned about what Trump and Co are doing right now, you're not paying attention... And that's the trouble, most people agent paying attention. #bbcqt

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Our planet is losing its capacity to mop up CO2 due to climate breakdown: wildfires, drought, storms, floods, new pests + diseases, and plant heat stress all reduce the amount plants can absorb. Yet emissions are STILL increasing at around 1.2% per year. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

There's a simple way to hit back at BP's reckless decision to pivot to fossil fuels (under pressure from their greedy shareholders)... Stop buying BP fuel. And buy that electric car or electric bike this year instead of in five years time. #boycotBP #beyondBP

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Back in Surrey... #fscjuniperhall #fieldstudiescouncil

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY #ALFOS, and RIP #AndrewWeatherall, gone 5 years today, not forgotten. Well done Sean for keeping the freak flag flying, 5 years solo, can't have been easy. Saturday at Phonox was epic! (10hr set!!)

RIP #andrewweatherall, 5 years today. Gone too soon, definitely not forgotten. #bemoreweatherall

Mermaid Chunky were amazing on Friday! @bathhouse

#FreePalestine, don't let Trump turn Gaza into real estate. 100,000 marched... ZERO coverage as usual. Almost as if the British establishment don't want to acknowledge the strength of feeling against a Trump-led, hostile Zionist takeover of Gaza, aka #ethniccleansing.

Happy #valentinesday 🥰 #rewilding

#proud #highlycommended #apprenticeweek 🤣

Yet again, if these were climate protestors, there'd have been multiple arrests, with some facing years in jail for "public nuisance". But farmers can block the road and drown out the Prime Minister and the police won't touch them. The real #TwoTierPolicing

Can British news outlets stop saying trump is "doubling down" on his Gaza 'plan'? A. It's a repulsive, illegal idea (designed to expand the window of possible outcomes, further in US/Israel's favour) and B. It's a horrible phrase from blackjack, then adopted by #techbros. #creepingamericanisation
