Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
A home is a human right.

The rhetoric of the far right is escalating.
Look at ICE in the US. Armed militias kidnapping people off the streets.

We’ve seen this before.
It’s fascism. Imported from the US to British shores by the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson.

Will you help us fight it?

British Transport Police's decision to not investigate bike thefts outside train stations where bikes have been left for more than two hours is really concerning. It could effectively decriminalise it.

Together with Lib Dem colleagues I've written to the BTP to get clarity.

All part of the plan to steer the UK to corporatism/fascism. One continuous economic and foreign policy from Tories to Labour to Reform. Entrap, impoverish and enslave in a fully privatised corporatist hellscape of SEZs and freeports.

Max Wilkinson MP @maxwilkinson.bsky.social · 29d

I’ve written to Ofcom urging them to review the BBC’s coverage of Nigel Farage and Reform to see if it is line with broadcast guidance.

The disproportionate coverage of Farage is damaging to the BBC’s reputation as well as our democracy.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Ofcom took *six months* to decide to take no action after thousands complained about this very blatant breach of broadcasting standards by GB News.

But perhaps the real surprise is that they investigated it at all… /1
