Since 1990, the emissions share of the richest 1% has increased by 13%, and the richest 0.1% has grown by 32%, while the poorest 50% has decreased by 3%. policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/cl...

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived. Scares people into paying extortionate price for freehold, 6000% profit. Previously arrested, charged with stalking offences. Govt must investigate these vampires.

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our policies, we've done it in 9. In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

Two regions of war-torn Sudan are enduring a famine that is at risk of spreading to other areas of the northeastern African country, where paramilitary fighters have been battling the military for power for more than two years, a global hunger monitoring group said. https://to.pbs.org/4onhZj5

It is not true “England cannot effectively subsidise travel costs”. Retired people get free travel. By freezing the fuel duty escalator we are subsidising car drivers, which compounds inequality. See more here: bettertransport.org.uk/media/groups... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's another progressive idea. Force councils such as Westminster to charge more across all bands by setting a minimum tax for each band. Redistribute the revenues to less wealthy areas. Fair and generates some cash. on.ft.com/47R1u8W

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

America’s super-rich destroying the planet’s safe climate spaces. Wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10%. Corporations spend $277,000 a year on anti-climate lobbying. Super rich control political system, strangling life. What's to be done

On Monday, the Tobacco & Vapes Bill reaches the Committee stage in the @houseoflords.parliament.uk . Smoking kills 64,000 people in the UK every year, including infants & children. Every day, 350 young people start smoking regularly 🚭It is vital the Bill is passed without further delay.

And it won't!!

A constant reminder that privatizing a vital public utility is never a good thing.

Global warming is pushing the planet to the brink, says UN Secretary General reut.rs/43lFFvy

Climate policy needs to prioritise rapid fossil fuel phase out. Anyone who says otherwise is either deluded, wilfully ignorant, or lying. And at the same time, produce a massive increase in adaptation. Both are needed to reduce climate risks. 6/6 www.technosphere.earth/its-the-end-...

Corporations can pay workers a living wage. They just choose not to. How do we know this? Because the five largest U.S. companies alone spent over $1 trillion in stock buybacks and dividends over the past five years.

I’m not against this: Ebikes and escooters will be prohibited from traveling faster than 15 mph on NYC streets starting on October 24. Now do cars.

“True security would require investment in health, care, housing, climate adaptation and the energy transition.”

Cardiff will be the first UK city to introduce a surcharge for oversized SUVs and trucks, "while very large vehicles – those over 3,500kg – will be excluded from residential permits entirely."

Would love to see this in England. We already provide free bus passes for pensioners why not for young people?

Tipping point reached 🚨 Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, new @exeter.ac.uk report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns.

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

This is very sad, but also not surprising. The science has warned for a long time, including in IPCC reports, that even modest levels of global warming will devastate virtually all coral reefs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The map below shows how far behind France and Germany we are in mass transit. In France, every place with over 150,000 people has some form of tram or metro. But if mayoral areas can 'become builders' as @tracybrabinmayorwy.bsky.social puts it in the foreword, we can turn this around. 🧵 1/9

It would take the average UK earner 52 years’ worth of earnings to join the richest 10%. Up from 38 years in 2006-08. Rich buy political influence. Govts help the rich. Bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in than the richest 20%. Inequalities obstruct economic growth, fuel social unrest.

Something I've never really considered but seems increasingly important. Especially when we have few platforms, owned by big companies with a vested interest in shaping the narrative.

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.

Today, we remember the victims of the October 7 attacks.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...
