Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Among Keir Starmer's worst deeds were his legislative and rhetorical attacks on nature protection. In those two wasted years, we spiralled backwards, even from the Tory legacy. At this week's biodiversity summit, the Burnham govt should pledge to turn that round. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal, the world's third-largest, in exchange for Russia & the US agreeing to respect Ukraine’s borders and sovereignty, Putin’s broke this treaty when he invaded the Crimea & now with Russia’s full invasion Trump has abandoned Ukraine siding with Putin.

Last evening in southside Virginia. Galaxy S26 at x3. Just an amateur!

... and Reform UK, full of lethal austerity-manufacturing ex-Tories, led by Thatcher worshipper, Liz Truss praiser Nigel Farage, will do the same ... meme via The UK Against Hate

So it's official! 💥 Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against Putin and the rise of fascism.

Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.

The epitome of greed is to have more money than you could ever spend in 100 lifetimes and still refuse to pay your employees a livable wage.

The threats to our resilience are the same as the threats to our democracy: corporate lobbyists shaping policy, with dire consequences for our ability to withstand crises. Burnham seems to want to change this. But is he aware of scale of the task? My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remember the Tories don’t care about people, they never did and this will never change. All the issue we face started with them forcing Neoliberalism on us. 😡

New article with Council on Geostrategy: Towards a JEF naval ecosystem: A blueprint for British leadership in the High North Byline currently only has my name but coauthors are Dr Marc Devore and @r-p-one.bsky.social - should be fixed soon www.britainsworld.org.uk/p/the-memora...

There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐

I talked this week about the mental health crisis afflicting young people, in particular the isolation and loneliness caused by the neoliberal smashing of society. Everyone needs community. Everyone needs belonging. We cannot survive without them.

States aren't just laboratories of democracy. Some like Montana and Hawaii have become the frontlines for saving our democracy from Citizens United and restoring power to the people. Read this piece from James Baratta in The American Prospect.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Trump regime is redefining the Endangered Species Act to consider only the intentional killing of endangered animals to be illegal, removing accountability for incidental harm caused by economic activities. Psychopaths.

Today is National Voter Registration Day — and we're less than 50 days from the midterms. The best time to check that your voter registration is up to date is right now. And remind your friends and family to do the same. This is absolutely vital. ⬇️ https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/

The more shit you store in the cloud, the more data centers they will build. Get an external hard drive and secure your own data. Stop paying them to destroy the country. How many cat videos do you need?

We cannot wait for AI companies to self-regulate. They are raising every alarm. Congress must act this week to meet the rapidly developing threat landscape posed by AI. Let’s take bipartisan action NOW to meet this moment.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The answer to our political funding crisis is simple and obvious. It would send our politics in the opposite direction to its current, disastrous trajectory. So why won't Labour MPs pick it up? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump and Republicans will kick off their midterm convention today, and you can bet they’re going to spend a lot of time outright lying about Trump’s record. Here’s the truth.
