Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

Nothing very Great or truly British about ReFuk and its money.

🚨Brexit is slowing production of life-saving medical tech at local business Elekta, says the leader of Brighton & Hove City Council: "In the fight against cancer, we need our life saving enterprises to be working at maximum capacity."

Brexit is clearly not a concern anymore even after Burnham talked a lot about the EU and possibly rejoining.

#BrexitDisaster #RejoinEU #JoinEU #Breturn

Prime Minister @andyburnham.bsky.social is right. By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK and Nigel Farage knows it

The loss of freedom of movement due to Brexit affects far more than just people. Losing the four freedoms- goods, people, capital, and services has wide-ranging consequences.

All those scandals are starting to stick.

Send this to Reform voters because Reform wants to get rid of the NHS. I saw this years ago and the horrors revealed in the film have stayed with me ever since.

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

Exactly. A referendum is a decision, not a life sentence. In 2016 voters chose Brexit; they didn’t vote to surrender the right of future generations to reconsider it. If the consequences prove damaging, as they have, democracy demands the freedom to debate, vote again, & potentially change course.

If the BBC treated the Green Party as they do Reform, and Reform as they do the Greens, Reform would be on 10% and the Greens 20%

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

The really disgusting aspect is that Farage has no ideological or altruistic motivations behind his plan for private health insurance. It's nothing more than a way for him to further enrich himself and his horrible cronies. Everything about him screams CONMAN. 

Yes, I have done some volunteering with the Bristol-based charity, Just Treatment, to try to increase awareness of what the Tories at the time had in store for our NHS! Did you know that the 2012 Health & Care Bill removed the Secretary of State’s obligation to provide healthcare for its citizens?!!

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

Playing the same discredited #BrexitLies once more!

The usual suspects will be disappointed by this paragraph! When you break it down by ethnicity, Pakistani and other Asian men were no more likely to have been convicted of sex offences than White British men...🤷‍♀️

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

31 years ago I moved to Germany for a year. The sum total preparation was they my company rented a temporary flat for a month and I packed my car and went. Why are my kids - now the age I was then - now denied this opportunity.

Meet Will, the Cambridge plumber who gets to many of his jobs by e-cargo bike. Will founded Veloplumb in 2023, with a simple idea: many plumbing jobs don’t need a van full of equipment. 'I really believe in it, it boosts mental health to be outdoors, exercising and of course doing some plumbing!

🚨 Cal Roscow, B4B Director of Campaigns: "We relied on from people from other parts of Europe to fill some of those vacancies, particularly hospitality and retail." 🇪🇺 "That works in both directions. Our young people have been robbed of the opportunity to gain skills another EU country"

Accepting NHS care via a private provider is not a moral failure. Patients didn't cause this crisis; political choices did. Put your health first and hold politicians accountable. Tell your MP to stop private equity profiting from NHS patients: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

Closer ties with Europe can help Britain thrive. Sadiq Khan backs Andy Burnham’s push for a better relationship with the EU, making the case for single market membership and the contribution European workers make to our economy.

Personal tax allowance should be increased for EVERYONE. And the billionaires and Corporations should be taxed. Corporation Tax is currently 25%, an average of just 13.5% is collected. Many billionaires make billions in the UK, but pay no personal tax at all.

🚨 Cary Mitchell, Director of Strategy at Best for Britain: 👏 “Our polling shows clear support for the advantages it would bring. That’s only logical when the reciprocal benefits include opening 27 doors onto priceless opportunities for young British people"

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Support for the metric system in the UK is overwhelming - unsurprising because you would have to be a moron and/or over the age of 70 to think otherwise. My worry is for the 0.4% who think we should have only imperial measures. Hunt them down, & put them in a secure institution for monitoring.

And on and on it goes... Is anyone going to still seriously claim that John McAndrew has not introduced pro Reform UK bias into all BBC News reporting? bsky.app/profile/iain...

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

“Would it take ten years? No. Britain, as a former Member State, is still aligned with most EU rules. It is worth recalling that when Finland applied to join, negotiations took just 2 years, as it was similarly already aligned with much EU legislation through the EEA” labourlist.org/2026/10/imag...

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

This is terrible news 👇🚨 I wrote about the NHS maternity crisis last week - here’s a link to my piece: jujuliagrace.substack.com/p/i-had-a-ca... Here’s a link to the piece from The Times: ttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/article/nhs-maternity-safety-funding-cuts-0kngzmq65

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

So @frontiertony.bsky.social @neumannjo.bsky.social actually did this, and it shows a huge shift away from renewables and towards fossil gas in the pipeline of proposed power projects in the US Note this chart shows *capacity*, not *generation* (which makes solar look bigger than it will be)

The rules are clear - broadcasters are required to present news in an impartial manner, without political bias. Demand that Ofcom takes immediate action ⬇️ https://bestforbritain.org/petition/farage-on-gb-news-demand-that-ofcom-takes-immediate-action/

And much of Oxford Street is going car-free from tomorrow! I don't even live in London anymore but I'm genuinely excited about this. If it works well, it could be one of Khan's big legacies. People have been talking about doing this for literal decades, and now it's happening.

NYC Local Law 97 requires large buildings to slash pollution over time, which leads to energy efficiency. Now, we’re starting to see huge progress as heat pumps reduce energy use by 90%. 🎉 90% (!!!) ✅ lower energy bills ✅ good jobs ✅ less pollution www.urbangreencouncil.org/room-heat-pu...

Although my diagram is getting old, if anything 2026 model battery electric vehicles have actually increased their lead over both types of hydrogen vehicles.

We talked about climate's impact on food this morning on BBC One's Sunday Morning Live: imported food that has got more expensive (chocolate, coffee, olive oil), food hit at home (milk, onions & potatoes, lamb & beef), and wine changing flavour. And what we can do about it. Full interview below

Attacks on trans people were never about protecting women, as they claimed. It was always about enforcing far right ideas about gender and sex on everyone.

"Trump’s return to power has made the US pivot away from Europe more explicit, while Russia’s war against Ukraine has made the costs of acting alone hard to ignore. "Britain may have left the EU, but it cannot escape this geography."
