A quick search shows we haven't banned a book in the UK for over 30 years ( and that was overturned the year after). Ironic - and utterly tragic - that in "the land of the free" PEN reports 23,000 books have been banned in the US in just the the last 6 years. 😢🤬 #BannedBooksWeek

Yep. Plentiful examples of others like Braverman in the UK Conservatives - and in our far right parties. Dispiriting - and utterly repellent.

Enraging and utterly dystopian. The tragedy is that so many are taken in by- and vote for.- people actively intent on doing them harm.

Yep, a major omission in an otherwise, ( imo) decent speech with a - rare for a politcian- long term vision. Could have done with him talking about wealth taxes too.

The whole world is holding its breath and waiting to see if enough Americans can see through this Fascism and get rid of Republican control in the midterms. It's bloody terrifying tbh.

Last month, I joined a cross-party group of MPs calling on the Prime Minister to reject the Rosebank oil field. Approving Rosebank would be a grave mistake. It would undermine the UK's climate commitments, and lock us into further fossil fuel dependence when we should be focusing on clean energy.

I’d recommend “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin - early dystopia from the 1920’s - that influenced the more famous books by Aldous Huxley & George Orwell.

Shocking to discover designating AI data centres as “National Critical Infrastructure” means water companies are prohibited from restricting water to them even in times of drought. Households will lose water first. Thanks to @olliehayes.bsky.social at @globalactionplan.bsky.social for joining me

1/2 The Financial Conduct Authority's proof-of-concept deal with Palantir moves us in the wrong direction. A company facing allegations of human rights abuses and associated with significant data privacy and national security concerns should not be gaining a greater foothold in our public sector.

If you had any understanding of football, you wouldn't say this. A regular football fan deals with terrible decisions all the time. This is different, a corrupt stitch up by 2 corrupt men, overthrowing a decision on the pitch. This NEVER happens, nor should it.

The only effective response to the USA’s breathtaking corruption is for the remaining countries to walk away. Let them have their own football “World Series” where the only entrants are from the US, and the only international spectator is Infantino.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
