The state of a broken electoral system.

Conservatives increase their vote share by 1% = 66 new MPs.

Greens increase their vote by 1% = 0 new MPs.

43% of the country voted Conservative, but they have 56% of the seats despite the majority of the country not voting for them.

Like Trump before him, only more so, Boris LOST the popular vote. Over 56 per cent of votes went against the Tories. Yet they have huge majority. Only a fair electoral system can give us a just society. But a tragically small chance of getting it in the next 5 years.

@KumanieS Other countries have made vote compulsory, like Belgium. There are no reasons for it not to work here too.

At Hertfordshire Sustainability Forum. Various interesting speakers, with facts and possible solutions. Looking forward to seeing concrete change from our council authorities.

This week, Extinction Rebellion shut down 60 cities globally. Here's @MrNishKumar's take on it all... #TheMashReport

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

“If you can't be an activist unless you have already somehow purged your whole life of fossil fuels then you'll have a movement of three people.”

Author Naomi Klein says calling people hypocrites is “an incredibly effective way to repel" climate change activists.

Great article, great action, great speech. Can these police actions, completely shutting down the right to peaceful protest, really be legal?

.@CocaCola it’s NOT your privilege to redefine #singleuse. ALL your drinks bottles are single use, whether they get recycled or not. And @smartwater isn’t smart. Carrying a refill bottle is smart. And drinking free tap water instead of sugary drinks is even smarter! #WarOnPlastic

Does Darwin's "Survival of the fittest" apply on social media?

Goldsmith Street is the UK’s largest social housing scheme to achieve Passivhaus Certification, where buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy. Built by @MikhailRiches the project has been shortlisted for the @riba #StirlingPrize.

Question: Is culture online representative of culture offline?
