I would say that democracy dies when billionaires own most of the press and media channels.

Anyone who thinks that Farage's preferred insurance based health service is a good idea should watch the Great NHS heist. The US system bankrupts people and denies them treatment on an industrial scale.

I only buy Fairphone's these days as they are modular and you can do most repairs yourself. Support and software updates are for at least 5 years, so they work out cheaper per year of use. I got 7 years use out of my Fairphone 2. They are A++ for sustainability.

Quite worrying.
This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi, @channel4news.bsky.social
don't get me wrong, it's vital that this is getting news coverage.
But wasn't the #AMOC open letter to Nordic ministers from October 2024, not last month?

Reform is NOT democracy, it is a company run for and by the rich who manipulate simpler angrier folk who dont think, only react.
Reform UK is not a political party: it is a company controlled by Nigel Farage.
And if it ever formed our government, it wouldn’t answer to the electorate but to the foreign-based plutocrats who are its donors.
Don’t assume a vote for Reform is a harmless ‘protest vote’. It would cost us our NHS.
