It seems so obvious that I struggle to understand how people fail to see it. Starmer tells us that *WE* have to stop Reform by voting Labour, whereas *HE* could do it by introducing PR. But then we'd lose any remaining incentive to vote for his party.

“Concentrated fossil power leads to concentrated political power. Had we been less dependent on fossil fuels, there might have been no President Trump, no President Putin, no ayatollahs, no Prime Minister Netanyahu. Fossil fuels push the world towards autocracy. “

We need to be honest about Iran – and how our rampant greed for oil is causing mayhem | George Monbiot
Oil has empowered capitalism, and some of the world’s most exploitative regimes. Move away from it and we can solve some of the key issues we face, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Happy International Womens’ Day I guess. Stop celebrating “strong” women. We don’t want you to clap for us. We want a world where we don’t have to be “strong” and carry the world on our shoulders. Just stop trashing the planet and our lives.

I’m not berating. I’m pointing out hypocrisy and people not looking at or wanting to accept the bigger picture. If you have an issue with that, you need to do some self reflection.

This is the way in any social movement. And it’ll eventually become mainstream. And when that happens, just like with the emo bands, I’ll be telling you I was here before it was cool.

People talk about “sacrifices” of being vegan are the food you’ll no longer eat - cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs…. No one talks about the real sacrifices, the social implications. Becoming unpopular for not tolerating abuse. The bullying. The hostility.

It’s easy to criticise AI because it’s new. Challenging meat and animal consumption challenges peoples’ core beliefs and what they’ve been indoctrinated with. It never fails to amaze me how much people will try to avoid uncomfortable feelings.

Ngl, drives me mad everyone goes on about how bad AI is for water use, pollution and fossil fuels, but then they don’t want to talk about animal agriculture. They’ll boast they don’t use AI because of the environment whilst eating a beef burger.

“I know this government exists only to disappoint us. But its environmental failures are even more striking than its failures on other issues. When the ruling party compares unfavourably with the one that brought us Liz Truss, it’s worse than a betrayal. It’s a threat to our survival.”

Amy Trewick @sneapster.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
It’s almost reassuring to know we’re not alone in being stonewalled. If even the security services are gagged when they tell the government what it doesn’t want to hear, perhaps our communication style, or our modes of protest or our dress sense, are not, as we keep being told, the problem”

It’s funny how they call it “unproductive” land because it isn’t exploitable for high yield, yet it tends to often be the land most productive for ecosystem services - water and pollution absorption, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, clean air, clean water, soil health…

You are always so spot on and manage to articulate these issues so well, that’s why you have my respect. Thank you for this! We need to be focusing on consumption, land use, human, animal and environmental rights - it’s all interlinked.

Research shows the UK has just 53% of its biodiversity intact, placing us in the bottom 10% of countries worldwide – and the lowest in the G7. This means that one in six species across Great Britain is now at risk of extinction.”
