This is a dissection of the role hyper-individualism plays in not only causing the climate and nature crisis, but also in preventing environmentalism from succeeding:

Quite a long post about *that* Mark Carney's speech. He wants Canada and the middle powers to identify as interdependent selves, but does that translate to how he wants Canadians to think of themselves?

Oh, Canada
In essence, Mark Carney's speech was a call on 'middle power' countries to view themselves - like Canada - as interdependent, rather than independent nations. I wonder if he feels the same way about h...

Labour are low in the polls and hard on the country.

Fair play to whichever special advisor has written Keir a bit of a snarky line. Maybe Keir could take that energy to Trump on the warpath or the billionaire bosses ruining this country?

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social unfortunately couldn’t make the National Emergency Briefing.

Would they consider having @mikebernerslee.bsky.social on #Leading?🙏

Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity.

Clips from Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social's powerful opening & closing statements at the National Emergency Briefing.

"We are asking for a WW2 level of leadership. Leadership, as if the survival of our society depends on it... because it does."

I've spent far too long writing and re-writing this, which usually means it is not going to be of much use to anyone else, but I'll post it anyway - in case it is.
