A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Climate change is real and it's happening and it's only going to get worse until everyone wakes the fuck up. By far the biggest threat to us all. We don't have another planet we can go to.

*Attenborough voice* Prompted by the rise in temperature, the males emerge en masse, exposing their pale and flabby flesh to the sun. Soon it will be a uniform bright pink, and the females, repulsed, will avert their gaze. It is truly one of the most disgusting sights in nature.

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

The Government needs to realise more regulation won’t fix our broken water system. We need to kick financial predators out & take it back into public control. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to a sewage campaigner who inspired Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’. @windrushwasp.bsky.social

Reform vision for British women - have children as early as possible (wouldn’t want you to be educated or have a career, now). If you don’t we’ll tax you and your stupid barren womb. But don’t have any more than 2 kids or we’ll take aware your state benefits.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters. I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comThe UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George MonbiotIt took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Watched the estimable Martin Lewis tonight. Why we have made life so complicated for ourselves that we need to spend our leisure time comparing deals and tariffs for utilities, insurance, phones, credit cards, etc, to make sure we're not being ripped off. It was all a lot simpler when I were a lad!

Very interesting and informative discussion, well worth an hour of your time.

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states. The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor. One collision and the whale is dead. We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

You can judge a person by the size of their moral circle. Trump, for instance, has the smallest possible moral circle, containing only him. Be the opposite: expand your circle. Include, for example, animals currently raised for food. We shut them out of our consciences. It's time to bring them in.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

They don't care about foxes, they don't care about their hounds, and they don't care about their horses. Time to end this 'sport' once and for all.
