"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

– George Monbiot

35 years ago today this happened. I’d grown up in the belief it could never happen, but then it did. It’s not been easy and even now reunification is an ongoing process. However, it makes me wonder what good things may be just around the corner that we currently think are impossible.

Devastating news.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

The Pro-European PAS party has secured 51 seats, an absolute majority in Moldova’s parliament.

A good result and a slap in the face for Putin.

Infusing diversity into a country makes for a richer society on many levels. Regrettably here in the US that knowledge has been ruthlessly discarded by the current administration & far too many Americans. Hopefully the UK will not follow the same narrow minded exclusive path that the US is now on.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

In London, hate will never win.

Last year, EAB wrote of an Essex council still using glyphosate, despite promises to phase it out. Now we find they are still using it | Christine Sexton, Local Democracy Reporter

.but it should not be beyond capacity of civil society to organise against what is happening now - through demonstrations, public campaigns, etc. Not just on Bluesky.

[Rock Against Racism emerged at the time of economic crisis and an unpopular Labour govt, after all.]

Now that’s a good idea. ☀️

Good to hear a positive story.

So much in Pecksniff this week about the unconstructive direction the government is moving in.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.
