Claire Jones on authoritarianism. Article in link:

"Project 2025 is aligned with global authoritarianism & won’t stand or fall with Trump. It's also naive to think Reform's survival depends on Farage, given its place in the global authoritarian ecosystem".

'Trump has targeted the courts, the universities, civil servants of the federal government... One key bulwark has crumbled under this assault: the media. Trump... said major US networks gave him... "only bad press. I mean they’re getting a license...maybe their licenses should be taken away."'

Praise me or shut up! – Trump’s threats to silence opponents break US first amendment

A press free to criticise its government and leaders is essential to any democracy – in America it is crumbling before our eyes

From black bins to green gains: how Leeds transforms waste

Leeds’ recycling and energy recovery facility turns black bin waste into electricity, heat and even roads – cutting landfill for good

'Polar geoengineering interventions.... are largely a fantastical science fiction. They will play no role in mitigating global warming. Decarbonizing to net zero is the only feasible approach to the problem, and this requires our complete attention without unnecessary distraction or diversion.'

Polar geoengineering proposals could do more harm than good

Decarbonisation and net zero are key, rather than approaches which only offer the illusion of climate action

'What happens to our democracy when leaders on the left adopt the rhetorical playbook pioneered by Bannon, Farage, and Trump?' Should the Greens take lessons from populism?

When the Greens play with fire: Zack Polanski and the populist playbook

Polanski’s combative leadership style borrows from populist tactics – but can progressives fight Farage’s way without corroding democracy?

I was particularly taken with the use of volunteers. They enrich projects with skills and fresh perspectives and increase community engagement/ownership. Their use broadens accessibility by breaking down financial and physical barriers, and offers personal benefits like skill development & wellbeing
