On 23 Dec 2025, #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.
In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.
UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.
If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.
The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out. #ukpol
Precious little coverage of #hungerstrike given D-notice from #UKGovt, but journalists can't be forbidden to quote their supporters and friends: #Palestine #journalism
"Protesters called for the immediate bail for all the imprisoned activists, along with the right to a fair trial and for the deproscription of Palestine Action"

"Diet-related diseases... place an enormous burden on our healthcare system and economy. At the same time, the food system is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss, with significant implications for planetary health and future generations."

"Now, in contrast, it seems as if the grown-ups are in charge. Practical issues have taken the place of political posturing. We are beginning, slowly, to see the government hint at some of the trade-offs implicit in the UK-EU relationship."

Marvellous to see reply from #UKGovt to this denialist petition:
"There is no ‘two-sided’ debate on anthropogenic climate change. The Government’s policy to support ambitious action on climate change reflects the overwhelming scientific consensus."

The #MOT system for annual vehicle roadworthy tests in the UK is a wasteful rort
The newly elected #UKGovt @UKLabour has just suspended 30 arms export licences to @israel
While good news, but we must not relent, keep up the pressure on all Western Govt who still arm #IsraelTerroristState

There is STILL no #DataLeadership from the top in #GovUK -#UKGovt. The new Ministers and PM are just as #DataIlliterate as the previous ones. #Data #DataLiteracy #DataSharing #Facts #Insights #Analytics #Truth. #UKStatisticsAuthority
If the UK govt ran a restaurant with long lines of waiting customers they would:
1) Not add tables & staff because that would "cost too much"
2) Cut back on tables, staff & ingredients to "save money" (austerity)
3) Get a private company to run it & get all the profits.
@cloudquinn “we can’t upset the racists and fascists by calling them names like racists and fascists - they just need to behave themselves better!”
#ukgovt can fuck right off with that. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other god-awful people have no place at the table, in discourse or as tolerated options in society.
