Stop Big Chicken Choking our Rivers

Our rivers can't take any more Big Chicken. Now is the time to act, not plan to make the problem worse. Across the UK, rivers are already paying the price for industrial chicken farming. Every year, o...

The biggest difficulty for trans rights – the general public seems to believe the new guidance makes it possible to exclude eg trans women from women's services in some circumstances. No. This was the previous position. The current guidance requires their exclusion, always, regardless of context.

Key thing to understand about "remigration" is that it doesn't mean "send immigrants home." He's an immigrant, Peter Thiel is an immigrant, etc. It's not even a white nationalism project, it's a trans-Atlantic white continentalism project, nations themselves aren't important, only race matters.

Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

“[Public ownership] isn’t just ideological ... there are rational economic reasons ... the ideological people now are those who are committed to a status quo which is clearly and manifestly not working.” @mathewlawrence.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk 👇

Another example of fascist logic, conflating boundaries of the nation and the body, treating other regular people living their lives without interfering with the fascist as an invading, existential threat to the physical safety of the body/nation, thereby providing casus belli for extreme violence:

People with left-wing beliefs are “enemies of civilization,” said Miller in a speech with numerous McCarthyist echoes.

Politicians, whatever their views on trans rights, should be concerned about this. A small group of dedicated & influential campaigners, bankrolled by a billionaire, are aggressively going after the rights of a minority group, & after anyone who dares question their actions. Wildly anti-democratic

We’re rapidly approaching a situation in which it becomes legally hazardous to express any criticism of “gender critical” views. The combination of well-funded lawfare and well-funded media moral panic is extremely dangerous to free speech for everyone, as well as obviously to trans people’s rights.

Protection against measles is dangerously low. Here’s the latest data: In 2025, 84% of children received their first dose of measles vaccine, and just 77% received a second dose. This is far below the 95% coverage needed to prevent outbreaks. This leaves children at risk worldwide.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness

The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov
