More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.11 May 2026 19:26 +0000at://did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mllyvwknps2chttps://bsky.app/profile/georgemonbiot.bsky.social/post/3mldqius6as24A very happy 100th birthday to the remarkable Sir David Attenborough.08 May 2026 12:34 +0000at://did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mldqius6as24https://bsky.app/profile/georgemonbiot.bsky.social/post/3mldqajtuqc2ySome welcome regeneration in the Dart Valley, Dartmoor (with the image the right way up this time!).

YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.08 May 2026 06:40 +0000at://did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mld4qfp67s2thttps://bsky.app/profile/georgemonbiot.bsky.social/post/3mld422htos2iNo one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/608 May 2026 06:28 +0000at://did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mld422htos2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/georgemonbiot.bsky.social/post/3mlavqubse22hMake Hate Weird Again.07 May 2026 09:30 +0000at://did:plc:codfx2epdduamfycuyi5fjpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlavqubse22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/georgemonbiot.bsky.social/post/3mlas6pgexk2bThere is a way out of our political spiral, and it is thrilling and inspiring.
