Check out this excellent TEDx talk by Morgan on how hyperindividualism all but killed environmentalism - and what to do about it.

British surgeon Nick Maynard, who has just returned from volunteering in Gaza, explains to #GMB viewers how Israel confiscates all baby formula that doctors like him try to take with them.

Why does Israel do this? Because they want to starve Palestinian babies to death.

It becomes truly awesome when they (and the world) begin to decommission fossil fuel vehicles and power stations at the same rate. That's all that ultimately matters.

Really interesting analysis of why climate change action isn't forthcoming to the extent it needs to be. The TLDR is we've been made to believe that we're isolated and can't achieve things together

Whatever programme Cooper was on must have been a looooong programme, longer than an Adam Curtis documentary (which to be fair she probably will feature in one day).

MorganHPhillips @morganhphillips.bsky.social · Jul 18

Did she give examples of what those extraneous things are/were?

Miles Thorpe ran Carla Denyer’s winning MP campaign.

In his words: he really wanted me in the room for key election strategy discussions.

That team made history under First Past the Post - and with thousands of people I was proud to play my part in it.

It sounds like the recommendation on climate education is going to be 'do the same but better' - though I might be reading too much between the lines. Quick summary on what Becky Francis said to the Education Select Committee today: www.globalactionplan.org.uk/news/strong-... #climateeducation

Strong hint from Becky Francis that climate content will remain firmly in Geography and Sciences and not infused across other subjects

Professor Becky Francis' session with the Education Select Committee this morning (8 July 2025) was very revealing on where the Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) panel's thinking has got to on cl...

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.
