Wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with @caolanrob.bsky.social the award winning journalist who did this interview on a @marchforrejoin.co.uk podcast

He’s one to follow, particularly on YouTube for on the ground reporting from Ukraine youtu.be/hYa7H1EmpCM?...

Wow! I would say someone needs to seriously investigate this but we know that won’t happen.

Nope apparently not! 😳

I would really like to understand why the Pentagon would order lobster tail this way? Is it not feasible to feed the military on what the country eats? I have never had a lobster tail and I have never wanted one simply because I understand. I eat what keeps me happy and healthy not fat and greedy

If a mother knows that much, what else doesn’t she know. Scary.

How Reform UK’s ‘family friendly’ agenda threatens women and girls With Reform UK still polling highly, we take a hard look at what the party’s politics could mean for abortion, contraception and motherhood

My piece for International Women’s Day piece for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Their ‘pro family’ agenda is a direct threat to women and girls

Warning signs are already visible. The question is whether we take them seriously or wait until it’s too late.

Very much looking forward to this on Thursday eve!

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Cotton’s future beyond climate rollbacks The US rollback of climate protections can't disguise that climate-resilient cotton offers a path to protect farmers and supply chains.

It's hard to find some optimism around climate action and cotton at the moment, so I worked extra hard on this column (after looking at some of the implications of the US rescinding of the endangerment finding) 1/ www.ecotextile.com/202603106199...

🤣 nothing would surprise me

I don’t understand… how is this even possible?

Pentagon budget under Pete Hegseth spends £93 billion in one month … wow, ok

But $2 million on crab and $7 million on lobster tails in ONE month! Very fishy indeed!

British businesses need a better deal with Europe Sign our petition to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and demand a better deal for British businesses trading with Europe

I've just signed a petition, will you?

Being outside of the EU has been a catastrophe for Britain & its businesses, with unnecessary trade barriers, checks, paperwork, delays, lost investment, lost growth, lost jobs and business, and a divergence of rules

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

We are being dragged backwards by a hypermasculinated political climate, 'manosphere' influencers and 'strongman' nationalism

A new Ipsos study conducted in 29 countries points to a striking trend: the younger the respondents, the more conservative their views on gender roles.

Wow. What a panel of guests. Really look forward to watching and hearing the conversation.

With this panel, you know this webinar will be amazing

The TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes YouTube video by Zoe Gardner

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…

But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?

Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Well, there's a surprise... and apparently Farage is trying to "woo centre ground voters." The idea of Farage trying to woo anything, is enough to put you off your breakfast.

Yes, let’s see if a left progressive party, who stands up to billionaires gets propelled onto every slot available slot compared to a far right regressive party who supports billionaires.

Spain’s PM Sanchez standing up to Trump and referencing the Iraq war. Here’s what he said.

Very proud of my host nation on many fronts.

I know! I saw that earlier. Not surprised. There’s only one way the far right go. More and more extreme.

He really is. Temu Trump

The war they won’t have to fight I know what war does to families. It doesn’t stay “over there”; it will be felt here too, for years to come. I don’t know how anyone who claims to love this country can support this

"I know what war does to families. It doesn’t stay “over there”; it will be felt here too, for years to come.

I don’t know how anyone who claims to love this country can support this"

When Nigel Farage called people from the Commonwealth ’kith and kin’ to sell his toxic Brexit

Now he wants to take away their vote.

Yes. Personally I’d like to see more representation and voting rights extended in the U.K. and EU nations. Anyone with settled status or permanent residency for example.

While all reasonable thinking people understand the reasons why young men may take on dangerous asylum routes, still a third are
women & children which could increase due to Labour policy

The breakdown of this data from Zoe is great for combating the ridiculous ‘fighting aged men’ rhetoric

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens?

Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.

Scotland sends 280 tonnes of anti-drone nets to Ukraine More than 280 tonnes of used fishing nets from Scotland will be sent to Ukraine to help counter Russian drone attacks, the Scottish Government has announced.
