💰 $58.2 BILLION in one year… That’s how much fossil-fuel financing JPMorganChase provided in 2025, up 12.5% from the year before. At a time we need to move away from fossil fuels, the money is still flowing the other way. #FossilFuelFinance #ClimateCrisis
WEAK When receiving Xi Jinping in the US, Donald Trump had B-1 bombers and F-22 Raptor fighter jets fly over the location, in an attempt to intimidate & impress the Chinese president. But when the roar happened, it was Trump who made a face of pain & discomfort, while Xi showed no reaction #cdnpoli

📩 Yesterday we went to Number 10 with a special delivery for the Prime Minister. Andy Burnham is our first PM to openly support PR. We know he can talk the talk. Now it's time for him to walk the walk. @compassoffice.bsky.social @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social @jowusunepaul.bsky.social
Today MPs debated the Representation of the People Bill. Together with friends at @compassoffice.bsky.social and @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social, we brought 34 alarm clocks to Westminster to send them a loud message: it's time to wake up! ⏰ Our democracy is in crisis. We need fair votes now.
💥 “The Prime Minister remains committed to electoral reform” 💡 The Democracy Minister confirms that Government is seeking views and proposals to inform the next steps 🎯 As is clear from the debate in Parliament, that means a National Commission on Electoral Reform

Hell yes 💪💯 For years, we heard that Proportional Representation was a fringe demand. That Westminster would never back it. That it wouldn't happen. Now, in the words of John Rentoul, it's "more likely to happen than not". Let's keep up the pressure! We can win and transform politics for good ✊
Andy Burnham wants to change the voting system – and it could well happen
A change to a proportional system is very possible after the next election – there ought to be a debate about which system it should be, writes John Rentoul

The problem for the CCS lobby who want to licence Rosebank by "paying for CCS" is that their scheme can never pay for all the emissions. There is huge carbon leakage from the CTBO scheme - ie "it doesn't add up"👇 See: bsky.app/profile/dran... @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @tessakhan.bsky.social
