It’s not the people on small boats we need to worry about, it’s the people on boats like this.

Ice loss on Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletsch Glacier, during summer 2026. No words... A layer of almost 6 metres of ice is gone. In the center of the biggest glacier of the Alps. It is hard to grasp even for glaciologists. @glamos_ch @VAW_glaciology Pic: A. Linsbauer

The Public Order Act 1936 makes it illegal to wear political uniforms. Indeed, the legislation was designed specifically to prohibit Blackshirts. Just saying.

Highland jobs sacrificed to protect Humberside jobs. Just remember where most of those turbines will be located.

Even if every single drop of oil and every puff of gas was extracted from the North Sea oil fields it wouldn't lower energy prices in the UK by one penny. Because it is 100% privatised and owned by foreign billionaires who will sell it to whoever pays the most.

“So, you’re a Reform voter? What attracted you to the party run by a lying, racist, dog-whistling, tax-avoiding, ex-public schoolboy who cares not a jot about women subjected to violence or working class people like you?”

6 July 1960. Aneurin (“Nye”) Bevan died (aged 62). He led the creation of the NHS in 1948 as Labour Health Minister. It offered treatment free at the point of delivery to all citizens irrespective of income. It’s one of the key social reforms in British history.

We have multiple parties at Westminster & a corrupt FPTP voting system. Currently 33 % of the vote has given one party a massive majority, and 66% of our votes are trashed with no effective power. It’s not democracy. Oh and the head of state & 2nd chamber are totally unelected.

Thatcher's 'achievements' include the destruction of industry, mass unemployment, poll tax, rip-off privatisations and the end of social housing, employment rights, adequate funding for the NHS, social care and schools. Nothing to celebrate in her legacy.
