Yey! Another eco-audit client has agreed to switch current a/c £900,000 from UKs worst climate-trashing bank to a fossil-free bank. Saving 180 tons of CO2 pollution. Equivalent to 360 homes annual electricity production. @caspar-hughes.bsky.social

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A graphic giving details on the Media Revolution campaign. It reads: Media Revolution. Campaign Launch. A true media revolution requires more than any single strategy – be it blocking billionaire ownership, regulating them better or creating shiny new replacements. Each response is vital, yet none are sufficient alone to fix a system this entrenched. It’s time for a massive, coordinated approach.
