The BBC and ITV happy to cover the entire Reform party conference and yet nothing given to Green, Plaid, SNP, Liberal Democrat or Corbyn and Sultana’s party. We do not have impartial media.

‘But it’s summer, it’s normal if it’s warm!’ No.
We need the EU to stand up against the climate deniers, the far right who are rolling back climate measures and fossil fuel lobbyists.
We need to phase out fossil fuels.
And invest in renewables.
The EU must act now.

Once again negotiators will leave the plastic summit this week without a treaty, having failed to reach agreement in what was supposed to have been the final round of talks.
The delegates, who were attempting to complete a crucial treaty to end the plastic pollution crisis remain deadlocked over whether it should reduce exponential growth of plastic production and put global, legally binding controls on toxic chemicals used to make plastics. Continue reading...

‘Underscapes’ an inspired theme for #AWWE25 creating a more coherent conference than usual. Fine keynote, esp. on forms of hospitality, by @plashingvole.bsky.social and a subtly engaging reading by @durreshahwar.bsky.social among the highlights. Wynn Thomas on RS’s tragic vision profound + moving.

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants
2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

Starmer's speech today was shameful from a Labour government: pandering, dishonest and inflammatory.
To say "the damage this has done to our country is incalculable" is language no politician should use about migrants who have come to the UK and contributed to our economy and society.
