We need PR now. A national citizen assembly convened to debate the issues. And if agreed, a change in the voting system before the next election.

Also. How about this wild idea? Businesses - stop making so much junk food, using up the world’s precious resources, growing the commodities, processing and packaging them, and then marketing the heck out of them with offers and promotions?? 😊

To ALL media outlets. If the tone of your story implies that *if only* govt ‘stopped the boats’, the cowardly, masked, fascist thugs wouldn’t *need* to intimidate RNLI volunteers, then go have a think about your life choices.

Having just wasted 90 minutes in a chat with Sky to fix a problem, now a month in and still not fixed, I am persuaded I need an AI agent to waste as much of their time as they waste of mine

Not just microplastics in food waste; but chemicals and PFAS in biosolids, being sold by water companies to farmers for fertilizer. “They wouldn’t be allowed to do it, if it wasn’t safe,” one farmer said to me…

This. Industries making these pollutants are not responsible for removing them, so the job falls to others. Farmers are being asked to participate in a risky experiment. #Polluterpays legislation would rebalance accountability AND save public money. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plastics contamination an ‘overlooked’ concern in food waste schemes, experts say

🥦 Across parties, food matters to the public & they want political ambition to reflect this. 🌱 With new leadership in government, this is a real opportunity for imaginative, ambitious food policy that drives regional economic growth, improves health outcomes & makes Britain a fairer place to live.

Although it’s been said before, I wrote this now because the food industry is telling government it can only help with food price inflation if govt lets it off the “regulatory burden”. By which they mean fairer pay, healthier food, reducing waste. Never let a good crisis go to waste, eh…?

A strong case can be made. It’s a gamble that a) he’d be in power and b) with sufficient numbers to deliver it in the next parliament.

You can’t achieve anything much without access to the levers of power. True for Labour. True for Greens. Settling for being in opposition or a small party in a first-past-the-post electoral system is now an indulgence. There is no time to waste.

Sue Pritchard @suepritch.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

I’d go further. We need electoral reform now. The (new?) PM should establish a citizens assembly on voting reform in 2027 If there is convincing support, use the labour majority to legislate for the 2029 election. www.thetimes.com/article/16d6...

📢 It’s time to cut the chemicals from our food and fields ✍️ PETITION - soilassociation.co/cutthechemsb... In the UK, just before harvest, some crops are sprayed with glyphosate to dry them out. It helps meet food system demands for speed and uniformity, letting farmers plan harvests in advance

In a nutshell from Guy at Riverford. “Most of UK farming is trapped in a cash starved extractive loop that destroys soil and ecosystems while leaving our country’s food supply vulnerable to an increasingly unstable world”

Trees have other benefits too - food (top fruit, nuts), shelter (my lambs are currently under the trees in the April showers), browsing (my cows enjoy willow and hazel), fuel (we coppice alder and hazel), fibre, materials - sustainable housebuilding needs more forestry products…
