A concise, devastating summary of current UK politics. @nesrinemalik.bsky.social saying it exactly how it is.

A compelling read.
The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking.

Attenborough’s Ocean is the film I’ve been waiting my whole career for – now the world must act on its message | George Monbiot
The documentary shows the damage that fishing does to our planet. So why does the industry still hold governments to ransom? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Good to see Ed Miliband ready to fight for Net Zero, it’s the answer not the problem. We need to get energy bills down if we want to win the argument. Waiting till 2030 won’t cut it. We need to ‘Break the link’ between gas and electricity prices now.
