CEnv furious about anthropogenic Climate Change; passionate about wildlife, regeneration, soils and habitats. Love gardening. Hacked off with Labour sacking its environmental pledges, sounding & acting like Tories. Hate Farage & his nasty politics

Yet they breached the Posse Comitatus Act on in Los Angeles which they are trained NOT to breach. The military are carrying out illegal acts because Trump wants them to. What does this say about US military?
Wouldn’t that be Treason? What’s the penalty? All I can think of is being hung, drawn & quartered with perhaps head on a spike at Traitors Gate but feel sure we don’t do that any more.
Over the years I imagine everyone has shared all personal data across multiple platforms, with multiple stores, with banks, with insurance companies. The outrage surrounding ID cards is disingenuous
The interesting point is the military knew it was illegal. They know what the Posse Comitatus Act says and how they breached it. Big question, why is military knowingly involved in illegal act against US citizens?
Come on, she’s only been in politics for 8 years, she can’t be expected to know Tory history 😂
Governments have not woken up to the expensive disaster at their door.
Reid’s irritation was palpable. What the hell’s wrong with her?
Oooo, lots of ratepayer money being wasted
from someone who knows, the facts about leaving ECHR ukandeu.ac.uk/leaving-the-...
Leaving ECHR is a threat to justice for all UK
"If you celebrated justice for Hillsborough, you have to support the European Convention on Human Rights Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered"
Found the answer www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-ne...
Ten years ago today. A moment of horror, and a moment of hope that Western electorates and state might get past cruelty and indifference and actually live up to their moral obligations. And now, most of our citizens just don't care
Just highlighting one of the (many) crocks of shite Trump has uttered
Big congrats @zackpolanski.bsky.social - really gracious in victory & hugely ambitious for party. As he said in his acceptance speech, the Greens aren’t here to be disappointed by Labour - we’re here to replace them & to challenge power & wealth in this country. Join us! join.greenparty.org.uk
So on this basis when can Americans expect to pay nothing to the Revenue?
As mentioned by @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social on @quietriotpod.bsky.social Sunday School 👇
Those that dismiss climate change as a hoax dreamed up by the wizards down the wood or some elites (of what I have no idea) need to answer what qualifications they have on atmospheric chemistry, on Earth systems science, on biology, on ecosystems, I could go on….that permits them to dismiss it.
Never been interested in Greek mythology until the Podessy appeared. It is fascinating and with Alex’s information can be viewed in the light of present day shenanigans
Isn’t a new receiver being built in Kalingrad with capability to listen into Europe more easily?
Older generations seem to believe Russia has the power & clout of the USSR. It doesn’t, its economy is minuscule compared to the EU.
What is the Environment Agency as Regulator doing? Where are the various local MP on this? NowHoC is sitting, there needs to be some actual action taken
Just watch…
Hope the automated flood warnings were in place
because they are dimwits, they just saw a whiteish wall
Beech trees on the hill near me have turned very yellow but think this is associated with free draining sandy soil, lack of water and heat until very recently.
He could have said no one wants asylum seekers to be housed with strangers in multiple occupancy rooms and Labour has already substantially reduced the processing backlog left by Conservatives.
BBC Radio4Today interviewing Courtinho on advocating drilling Gas North Sea. Reasons=Oil/gas revenues for treasury. Never challenged on climate, summer 25 hottest on record for UK, Drought orders, impact on health,wildfires. Also an absence of BBC’s much claimed equivalence
There’s no evidence of tax loopholes being used. 1. Divorce-ex husband has Ashton under Lyne house. 2. Admiralty House flat owned by UK government. 3. Hove flat bought in her sole name after divorce.
It’s not just Sky, BBC appear to have promotion of Reform the mission of the day
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
Ponder? Never seen him use that before. It’s more of an English thing to use ponder.
Thought Trump could only understand graphics, not text
Don’t ignore that the bbc asked a racist question here
Keep reposting. It will piss off exactly the right people.
They’re so fckn desperate to remove UK citizens rights and the majority UK citizens are so immersed in the far right talking shop of immigration they think this is a great and necessary action.
and you need wealthy parents in any event
How interesting the potential rewetting of wetlands and the positive implications for the climate could only happen if it’s assisting Defence. I’m not complaining only wish it could be done for the environment in its own right.
He could have just asked back what the reporter thought might happen before suggesting it would be frightening for her to walk passed people screaming abuse at a building
WTF? What is it that might happen to his daughter walking past an asylum HOSTEL (they are no longer hotels)? Spirited into an asylum seeker space craft and probed?
NEW Summer 2025 was the UK's hottest on record This year's average summer temperature of 16.1C was made around 70 times more likely because of climate change, the @metoffice.gov.uk has found www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...
This information is guaranteed to get the conspiracy theorists working overtime. Substack has a very good piece on this. Ashton under Lyne house in ex husband’s sole name, flat in Admiralty House not owned by Rayner, flat in Hove in her sole name.
Not a surprise, but when will politicians actually learn what’s happening and produce policy & regulation that makes a difference?
Wish this sort of information appeared on mainstream news media. Particularly important for many to understand the minuscule size of Russian economy -v- USA or European Union
Delusional, paranoid?
Come on guys, the intravenous heroin addiction he had for years took him to the top of the class and will surely help this endeavour
Their obsession with a woman in power and working class, OMG
The Tory right wing obsession with Rayner and their promotion of lies open.substack.com/pub/monkdebu...
Good from @theconversation.com on the #farage plan to import Trumpism into the UK: theconversation.com/the-most-rad...
“Human rights aren’t baubles handed down by ministers — they’re guarantees.” The Bear demolishes the myths around the ECHR, and asks why Labour are so quiet while the far right set the agenda.
and a heroin addict for years. Claims heroin sent him to the top of the class.
Any amendments to ECHR (i believe all Members have to agree changes) will affect every citizen of the UK, not just those they wish to deport.
Repeat a lie often enough, it becomes an accepted truth
www.cbi.org.uk/articles/gro.... and eciu.net/media/press-...
2024 may be the hottest year on record, wildfires across Europe yet UK Conservative Party and Reform UK 2025 want to extract every drop of oil from North Sea and scrap all NetZero plans if they achieve power in 2029. This is despite what British CBI tells the. WTF! www.cbi.org.uk/articles/gro....
I posted links to it almost as soon as it started in response to what a success Brexit was bullshit and still reference it when I need to. Brilliant work @yorkshirebylines.co.uk
People will do or say anything to get the spotlight.
The comparison is so depressing. Interested in % tax paid in both Poland and Finland.
Farage knows the right amount of rubbish & misinformation to feed his supporters
Thought she still owned one in Ashton under Lyne as well as Hove. Media can’t agree on price of Hove property, also most suggest she owns 3 properties (ministerial flat). It’s outrage at working class woman being in position of power and owning 2 properties. londonnewsnetwork.com/2025/08/24/r...
You’re referring to ministerial flat? Mention of ministerial residence has been in the headlines of some news media as in Rayner 3 homes suggesting it was relevant, that’s why I added that bit.
Naive last sentence. Why must Russia stop. Why does anyone think he'll be reasonable? Putin's been determined to get Ukraine back for 25 years. Putin isn't reasonable. Putin doesn't care about loss of life so long as it isn't his. He also has to show his expensive War correct decision.
So we have evidence it isn't her main residence? This is only a story if people don't have the facts. It's a damned site closer to her place of work than Ashton under Lyne property where several papers are horrified it's increased in value since 2016. Ministerial flat shouldn't come into discussion
It is "absolutely insane" that people were risking their lives to make the dangerous journey so where's the promotion of providing a legal safe route? Absolutely nowhere to be seen.
My grandson will look back and say his gran's generation knew about climate change and did effectively fck all apart from a bit of tinkering at the edges. Consider what his generation will be dealing with. We all should be ashamed.
I heard and previously considered Malcolm Rifkind to be reasonably sensible thoughtful bloke. He had no proposals how to protect UK citizens from its own Government if we left the EHCR did he? Anyone supporting the idea, look at USA which doesn't have this of Human Rights legislation.
A member of the House of Lords asked a senior British diplomat to help a Ghanaian goldmining venture in which he held shares. It adds to concerns about breaches of parliamentary lobbying rules by Richard Dannatt, a former head of the British army.
and in terms of Palestine Action it appears Yvette Cooper obliged
Those who vote reform don't do Bluesky
Lobbying shouldn't come into it. A Government has a duty to protect its citizens from harms. The Committee should all watch the true story dramatisation Dark Waters www.imdb.com/title/tt9071...
Everyone who thinks it a good idea should 1. Look at Trump's USA no trials, kidnapped from street, detention centres in swamps, concocted evidence 2. Understand what ECHR guarantees every citizen www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/what-i...
Is this coal burned in power stations or estimates based on the new coal fired plants that were built when renewables were insufficient to cope with extreme heat etc? China on course to be carbon neutral by 2060 www.upstreamonline.com/energy-trans... and www.technologyreview.com/2025/07/10/1...
Don't know who will win the Green leader election but Zak Polanski is loud, well informed, calls out bullshit misinformation, can't be spoken over because he is loud
Football hooligans and people that scream at hotels. That in itself is hilarious. This was a guy that never set foot in England, didn’t slay a dragon, wasn’t a Knight, Turkish immigrant from Turkish & Palestinian parents, spoke Greek, definitely brown skinned
If we all stopped referring to them as Migrant Hotels and instead said Hostel or similar. You don't share your room with complete strangers in a 5* hotel ffs!
Agree completely however have always been confused about why, when we're a collective of 4 countries, none of whom appear to be allowed to leave, why the Great Britain flag isn't the flag of choice.
5* luxury where you have to share your room with strangers, where nobody comes to make your bed daily and tidy your room, bathroom etc. where there’s no complimentary drinks. Where there’s no choice of food. Real 5* stuff
Partner has one like a piece of wire (sounds a bit Gruffalo) perpendicular to his brow bone😂
Claims that PwC-audited Drax misled investors over the sustainability of its wood sources are to be probed by the FCA. The North Yorkshire biomass generator has for years been collecting billions of pounds in renewable energy subsidies despite being the UK's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide.
Have you tried complaining to BBC? Process absolutely designed to stop you doing so by wearing you down. Which programme, at what time, who was speaking, what was the context, what did you have for breakfast, where did your grandmother live aged 13… I may be making last couple up but you get idea?
In UK no reporter would be allowed anywhere near a 10 year old who’d just witnessed that trauma
Has Jack Straw lost his mind? He should know perfectly well the protections for UK citizens provided by ECHR
Dale Vince (ecotricity) doing the lifting on exposing Reform. www.facebook.com/share/v/1CSN...
Perception is a difficult thing to tackle when those perceptions are also informed on what is felt, what is heard, what is spoken of. It isn’t necessarily an accurate interpretation of reality.
manipulation of statistics going on since sacking the person of principles
My pet hate is how many environmental words get hijacked in such a way that entirely reduces the importance of the original naming of the concept. Ecosystem is the recent one which over the last 1 1/2 years every damned journalist seems to be using. Biome is another.
Looking at the replies has made me laugh out loud. Kids are brilliant, they're smart, they're clever.
That's because all they know is the US.
Agree
😳.
Shocking. Be interesting to see what if anything other countries in the area have to say. Dominant religion Sunni Muslim, as is Saudi Arabia, Quatar, UAE & Jordan
NewsAgents YouTube suggesting spies with links to Trump are doing a Putin, integrating themselves into Greenland sensing people out on the idea benefits to Greenland if USA took over. Men dressed in green uniforms?
Reform say the would "cancel" HS2 in 2029, supposedly saving billions. Except, as you can see, it's already well under construction. So they would, in practice, just be leaving massive unusable craters across the country. They never seem to be called out on this. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/hs2...
Same BBC that used favourable language associated with Israel and minimising language with Palestine cfmm.org.uk/bbc-on-gaza-...
Different statements? Mine is Byline Times. “Age of NATO is now over. Greens to be bolder beginning with plan to withdraw UK from longstanding military alliance in NATO. New international alliances based on peace” bylinetimes.com/2025/05/08/g...
I think Jack Polanski would be great as Green leader. He’s loud, can’t be talked over, breadth of knowledge so can’t be caught off guard by made up facts/figures and will fight. Only suggestion not in favour of is leaving NATO. Dangerous. UK not equipped to defend itself. Allies become to enemies
@paulmason.bsky.social read TNW “Do we dare rebuild the UK around defence” assertion Barrow in Furness is already booming. It will clearly take more than increased defence work to keep Reform out. Predictions are Barrow will vote Reform in next election. www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/sea...
Wealthy billionaire owners are having erotic dreams over Farage being PM, they can’t wait.
