Fascism is happening in front of your eyes. You can call it that or not - I don't give a fuck - but that is what it is.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

Was great to speak with @mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday about uncovering who owns England:

Just over 300 years ago, a wild Beara wolf could well have stood in the very same spot, striking the very same pose.

She would have looked out over a far more wooded, naturally balanced landscape.

Now, only her ghost, and mere shadows of the rainforest ecosystem of which she was a part, remain.

Governments often compulsorily purchase land to build roads, railways & infrastructure - and often to the detriment of nature

So why shouldn’t a govt nature body be able to do the same to *protect and restore* nature?

(Natural England have actually had CPO powers since 1949 but rarely used them!)

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

I talked to LBC about how both climate breakdown and catchment mismanagement helped cause the latest, terrible floods, and the intense frustration of spending 40 years banging your head against the wall about such issues.

Literally so excited listening to you speak to James O’ Brien!
"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"

Israeli troops & settlers have killed 171 & injured 1000+ Palestinian children in a year in the West Bank (UN figures).

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/
