A couple of people concerned about nature, the climate, and extremism. And if you have some cute pictures of kittens, that would be good as well.

I've just added my name to the call for the UK to join the European Union by 2036. A stronger economy, more jobs, greater security, and a louder voice in the world. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join_eu_by_2...
Excellent work here from Octopus. Not sure how close the government were to carrying out the terrible idea of cutting the BUS budget, but they seem to have ditched it.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme costs £400m/year. Compare that to the £40bn the Treasury spent propping up bills during the last energy crisis. It’s about 1% of that & it helps get all types of households - including social housing - off the gas that caused the crisis in the first place @gjuk.bsky.social

Great work by Guy and others, which mustn't go to waste. Please respond, however briefly, to this consultation, and help end the feudal tradition of secrecy and exclusion. Democracy dies in darkness.
Could centuries of secrecy about who owns our land soon end? A new government consultation proposes revealing who owns up to 95% of England and Wales. To stop this being blocked by big landowners, I need your help to send in supportive evidence. Here’s how: whoownsengland.org/2026/10/27/c...

Utter madness if the upgrade scheme funding is cut. We're already lagging the rate of heat pump installs, and reducing the grant would kill the new industry.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

New - A leading UK gas microgrid company is selling gas-powered AI data centre projects, paired with unproven carbon capture, as "net-zero." AVK is behind Ireland's first gas microgrid data centre, and hopes to expand across the UK and Europe. My work @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/10/14/u...
Good words but need to be backed up by actions. The other action the US has taken against Ukraine this week is to shut down access to Starlink and you Ed are still supporting Musk by remaining on X. You would gain a massive amount of political capital if you ditch it before Burnham and Polanski.
Putin's bombs are killing Ukrainian civilians, and Donald Trump is funding them by buying Russian diesel. The UK must stand up and call this what it is: another Trump betrayal of the Ukrainian people and European security.

From the 7th Carbon Budget report committees.parliament.uk/publications... If anything, that is saying that we need to increase the subsidy. A decrease would be madness.

Fabulous initiative here. Could maybe extend across the country?

Very depressing to see responses to this divided between "You're a racist" and "That isn't evidence". Old style Green party was always very keen on evidence and facts, but those look to have been ditched now with new style Green party going very much for uniform ideology worthy of a cult.
Seems that the rest of the Green movement across Europe disagrees with you. And the Guardian is reporting on that.

Two planned data centres will emit more carbon than the entire UK operations of ExxonMobil - and both plan to build their own gas power stations. Tell Andy Burnham to rule it out! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...
I find it both horrendously horrifying and terribly sad that anyone, particularly politicians in UK think state sponsored murder can ever be justified.

Now THAT is an absolutely excellent idea! Hopefully can also be paid for using cheap finance deals.
Today the first two houses in Walthamstow got their solar and batteries at 30% off thanks to our power stations bulk buying project. Many more will be joining them in the coming weeks! We will be running it again in November- make sure you’ve signed up with my office for updates.

Swathes of UK economy are owned by foreign investors. No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends. USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors. UK could do the same, generate billions. Why are super-rich privileged?
