I'm recruiting for my PhD research, please share with anyone who you think maybe be interested 👌

When even scientists are shocked by extreme weather, the only conclusion to draw: we're in trouble. Must-read story by @eroston.bsky.social 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point. We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable. "Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact 🧵

If you’re asking How could such a thing have happened? The answer is that it is all one big garden party, and you absolutely are not invited, ever spectator.com/article/spec...

Jesus. It's all just one giant laugh to the media/elite class innit. No mention of the huge rightward shift, economic damage etc and all the associated human suffering that those things bring.

Quelle surprise: my comment on the Govt's latest climate commitment (www.gov.uk/government/n... is out of step, at least publicly, with many colleagues: www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-react... With expert whitewash on one side & charlatans on the other, an honest climate debate stands no chance.

Abolish them all

Looking forward to this in a few months time. @alexheffron.bsky.social and I are presenting a paper revisiting Michael Woods' Politics of the Rural, and exploring it in an era of reactionary politics.

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

An absolutely laughable piece of "journalism". Wild that people actually get paid to write this nonsense. Really really worrying that stuff of this ilk gets to set the news agenda

Such a great thread 🤣

One cartoon can't counteract all the targeted attacks over the past decade. Without a formal apology and reparations to trans people from The Guardian this is just insulting. No offence meant to the person who made the cartoon just the audacity of The Guardian publishing it

Satuday's @theguardian.com cartoon #transrights #EHRC #LGBTQ

This. This is what the Israeli state is. It's a fascist genocidal state with zero regard for human rights or international law. Aided and abetted by the UKs own government. Absolutely shameful.

@carolinelucas.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social this is what you're asking Greens to stand aside for. Absolutely ridiculous position. Always was, always will be. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ecosocialism conference timetable published - come along 30th May to London South Bank or join via Zoom www.ecosocialism-conference.org/ecosocialism...

Absolutely wild! Solid example of why people voted overwhelmingly for him not to be leader. Also, Burnham has ruled out PR. Wake up and smell the coffee....Labour, Burnham led or otherwise, is neither a progressive party, no a viable force to stop the far right

Seems rather unlikely that Sustainable Aviation Fuels (e.g. biofuels) are the solution to reduce aviation emissions. Even if we switch ALL current US corn production to SAF we would not even be able to meet *present day* US aviation needs.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

The emboldening of the extreme right is terrifying The fact it is happening as the left is demonised, vilified and criminalised is not coincidental and it should terrify us even more as it is where resistance only exists The liberal bulwark was always a fantasy

Deary me. This ridiculous progressive nationalism agenda needs dropping immediately. Caroline Lucas doing the bidding of a right wing Labour government which kowtows to the far right repeatedly is absolutely wild. We need a new politics, not of the establishment so let's not go supporting it eh?!

A new far-right terror attack in the UK has been confirmed in court. Alina Burns, then 18, tried to behead an Iranian refugee who was standing outside a barber's shop in Bristol with an axe The attack took place on 2 August 2025 but a judge did not rule on 'terrorism connection' until today

Wild that out of all of the Labour MPs, only 3 would beat Starmer, who is by far the most unpopular PM in history. Hardly bodes well for Labour does it?!

Please retweet.

Deary me this is bad.....like really bad! Even in the US, tackling climate change has majority support. To deal with it, you can't ignore it, you can't 'take the politics out of it', you have to struggle constantly and develop the necessary politics. It's VERY hard. That is why we must carry on.

This went really well I see

UK media owners decide they want Reform in power --> Reform gets wall to wall fawning coverage across all media outlets --> media pundits claim Reform has the mandate of the people. Repeat.

There are antisemites at the Tommy Robinson protests. There is footage of attendees doing N*zi salutes. As Harry Shukman’s book attests, several of the far right groups who support TR engage in antisemitism behind closed doors. I wonder when we’ll get to asking if they should be restricted/banned?

Another day, another national newspaper publishing a cartoon with Zack Polanski with a massive hook nose. Another day of silence from mainstream politicians self-proclaimed great antisemitism fighters on the antisemitism faced by Zack. Solidarity with Zack and ALL the victims of antisemitism.

I'm Lead Judge of the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction, awarded at University of Edinburgh since 1919 and due to be announced this month. But the university is currently withholding 100% of my pay for participating in a marking and assessment boycott. So, at present, there will be no prize.

This is so obvious and the fact it's not clearly understood and accepted in public discourse says a lot about the derelict state of our democracy and how it suits those in positions of power

Reform Candidate tweeted about White people as the Master Race, cheered an asian woman being raped, and unwisely also tweeted pictures of his house and dog to prove it was him.

For those that haven’t seen footage of the arrest that Zack Polanski has criticised and Mark Rowley (and others) thinks is ‘appropriate use of force’ And note, this isn’t a ‘one off’ or because the man was armed. This happens regularly to people who have done nothing wrong bsky.app/profile/skwa...

keir starmer saying that starving palestinians to death is fine:

Pretty outrageous that the News Agents missed out the next sentence which I said: "Neither are acceptable."

That mosque has been targeted five times in the little over a year since it opened. I'm sure someone from the government will be along soon to promise extra security funding.

As Nigel Farage is popping up to denounce antisemitism, maybe worth remembering this from just a few months ago.

Literally one of the biggest piles of shit I've ever had the misfortune of reading. @thecanaryuk.bsky.social this makes a jokes of your outlet, antifa and the broader left. Seriously, stop with this crap. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this. At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government. Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

This 👇

Doing genocide and running torture-rape camps is apparently fine but upsetting US Christian Zionists is a “moral wake-up call”. Absolute degeneracy.

NEW | On an odd choice… WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC? A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/why-did-bb...

One of the very few politicians with any backbone in the UK. Solidarity Zarah

Zarah Sultana has just been kicked out of the commons for calling Starmer a barefaced liar. Zarah is spot on. Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar. We all know it. And as for Lindsay Hoyle. I'm old enough to remember what a corrupt speaker he is.

Another example of our brave police keeping us safe 😔 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

💯 agree with this. Absolutely bends my mind when I hear academics talking (in reference to qualitative research) about 'how much more data you can analyse' using AI. Erm nope. The amount data AI is able to conduct a reflexive qualitative analysis of, is zero.
