Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Cannes, south of France, this morning, home of the iconic film festival. Ive run out of words to adequately express how badly the media continues to fail us

I mean... what can you say but looooool

rogerhallam.com/spirit-of-revo… Human history is full of impossible, head-fuck situations where everything seems lost, and then somehow, people pull through. More than that, in doing so, they create a new way of seeing and being—a new civilisation. It depends on one word: "spirit."

The UK gov’t can never suffer a ‘black hole’ in its finances. It ultimately makes or is responsible for the creation of all the money we use. It alone, then, can never run out of money. Those claiming otherwise are just pretending there’s a reason for Austerity 2.0. There isn’t.

These stats, just released, are a national scandal. Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year. Yet NHS England is letting only 4000 of them do so. Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs. Many replaced with PAs - madness.

Today we published our 2024 State of the Climate Report where we scientists declare that the fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. theguardian.com/environment/20… You can read full report here: doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

"We are on the brink of an IRREVERSIBLE climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperilled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis."

rogerhallam.com/a-new-way-of-s… This is the key to resilience - the ability to keep going and not burn out. To continue to be in service. This orientation will save the world—or what is left to save. And, excitingly, it is at the core of what could be called the next civilisation.

Our rivers are full of shit, there are wars everywhere, our public services are finished, yet our political media is spending an entire week discussing someone who went to a gig because her husband, a TV presenter, was offered tickets by a music label. No wonder we're screwed.

@sandlwise01 Just Stop Oil what do you suggest we do? What do you say to young people? ‘we’ve fucked up and you just have to sit and wait to die’?

I don’t want the neighbourhood health service that Wes Streeting is offering, because it is bound to be biased to wealthy areas. I want a National Health Service.

"the probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59%" Looking and Atlantic heat transport reanalysis, relative sea ice anomalies, and model studies (including the effects of aerosols), I'm afraid the collapse of the AMOC might already be ongoing..

We need to restore this Crooked House. Britain needs a #FossilFuelFree #SustainableSupplyChain #PeoplePowered pub company

This is huge news for the BDS movement and goes to show that it bloody works!!

What happened in Valencia is not going to wake us up, is it. Scientists say it was powered by climate change. Radio presenters and commentators are ignoring that and lying to themselves that it's just a random event. Like the recent flooding in France, the insane flooding in

In some personal news I have been very unwell including a long stay in hospital for the last fortnight. Our NHS staff have been amazing and I hopefully will recover in the next few weeks. Thanks to everyone who has supported me during this very difficult period.

When better I am happy to speak openly about the serious illness I acquired to raise awareness of it. Hold those you love close, respect everyone and let's build a better world whilst we are here.
