Global GDP is projected to fall by ~17% at 2°C of heating. These images show why that is possible

🛢 ANDY, SAY NO TO ROSEBANK This action is happening now by Parliament. 🔥 Andy, say no to fossil fuels. Andy, don't burn them. Labour must stop Rosebank. #StopRosebank

Italy just sent 32 people to prison for killing 43 people in 2018 with a dodgy bridge. In the UK 0 people are in prison or even on trial for killing 72 people with illegal cladding in 2016.

I ask Sadiq Khan about new oil and gas on Thursday: he refuses to answer properly. By the afternoon: we find out he's a Labour Lord. 48 hours later: we find out Labour are pushing ahead with this climate crime. We cannot trust Labour to tackle the climate crisis.

Now I don't know about you but if I had setup a localist micro party called the "Edinburgh and East Lothian People's Party", well, for one thing, I wouldn't have stood in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, but I certainly would not stand in Clacton.

"No one wants to be the scientist who cried wolf. That aversion to predicting outcomes that may not happen has made us too ready to rule out those that could potentially take place. We can do better..." 👇

Listen to what he chooses to emphasise

Thames Water increased its bonus payouts to £4.1m for senior managers. It has £19.7bn debt, fleeces customers, dumps sewage in rivers, loses billions of litres of water to leaky pipes. Numerous criminal convictions, licence not revoked. But bosses rewarded .. for what? Govt/Ofwat do nothing.

🔔 Fletton & Woodston, (Peterborough City Council) By-election result: 🟢 Green GAIN from Labour Congratulations to Cllr Katherine Sharp

The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68. Poland has lowered theirs to 60 for women and 65 for men. Their pension provides a better standard of living too. (Oh and in case you are wondering how it can be afforded the Polish Government privatised very little.)

New drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There are 24 hyperscale data centre applications in Scotland. If they're all built they'll consume over 1.5 times the peak energy demand of the entire country. We urgently need a pause to develop a national approach that works for people and planet, not just tech billionaires.

Wow. The Department for Education has just published new projections which estimate that the number of pupils in state-funded schools in England will plummet by more than 9% by 2031 amid falling birth rates And yet this issue receives probably 1,000th of the coverage the immigration debate receives

"The environmental case against peat is so stark that it is hard to believe it is still legal to bag it up and sell it to gardeners". Anyone who still uses peat is either pig-ignorant, stupid or selfish - quite possibly all three. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Very important that we emphasise just how much Streeting is full of shit. He said ADHD was overdiagnosed without a shred of evidence, solely because diagnoses were increasing. And here's the interim report. The conclusion? It was previously underdiagnosed. Where's the government's reaction?

You'd think the intelligence services having to raise the national terror threat level because of a surge in Nazi terrorism might have been a bigger story

More than 3,000 Just Stop Oil supporters were arrested blocking Oil terminals, garages, roads etc. More than 300 went to prison. Today the News is reporting 2,700 premature deaths in the UK over the past 2 months due to heatwave. No one is coming to save us.

The Met Police said it had arrested a dozen people in connection to an alleged far-right threat to the UK Ijtima event being held at Shrubland Hall, Suffolk.

Not wanting to state the obvious here, but maybe stop criminalising protest. I, for one, would prefer sex offenders are locked up than pensioners with a conscience... www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The world is burning yet when it comes to climate change there are fools telling us we need to drill for more gas and oil. Trump, Badenoch, Farage...Every time they are up for election we must oppose them. Ballots out for Sharon Graham this week! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Your "Godzilla El Niño derangement syndrome" graphic for today has the peak now rising to 4.20°C over the 1991-2020 baseline.

Microsoft emissions up 25% in a single year Google emissions up 25% Amazon emissions up 16% Big tech's climate pledges are being swept away in the insatiable race for AI profits.

Rent controls would save households up to £2,400 a year and the Government £2 billion a year. It's a no-brainer. But only the Green Party has a policy to introduce them.

Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

Andy Burnham knows that war crimes are being committed in Gaza, but has he got the courage to do anything about it? Britain must halt arms sales to Israel immediately

The mother of a convicted fraudster gave Farage's party more money than the Green Party typically spends on an entire General Election campaign. The police clearly suspect her son channelled the money illegally through her. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Drax power station produced more carbon emissions than any other UK site in 2025 while receiving a record £999 million in public subsidies, according to new analysis from Ember."

Who would have thought that summer temperatures in our favourite holiday destinations (where many people live a week, btw) would already reach 40+ degrees in 2026?

Discouraging an activity with a benefit-to-cost ratio of nearly 10:1. A triumph of policymaking.

A six-month investigation by Byline Times reveals that with the support of Palantir's Peter Thiel, Reform's policy chief James Orr has used the University of Cambridge as a student recruitment ground for a hard-right, theocratic political project aimed at bolstering talent in Farage’s party

Manchester Evening News review of the first Mayor debate is in - and Geraldine Coggins, Green Party candidate has the highest score! 💚🎉 Labour has let down Greater Manchester. It's time for a Green Mayor.

Having failed to interest any papers in this story, I resorted to writing a letter to The Times, like in olden times. So when all that's left to watch is NASCAR racing sponsored by Cheetos, I can at least say I tried. #ITV #Sky #Comcast

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

Student loan promotion in England & Wales amounted to mis-selling, MPs say. Students not told clearly that loan terms could change retrospectively. Govt froze repayment threshold, forcing graduates to pay more and sooner. Must abolish Uni tuition fees, as in Scotland.

Mobile internet coverage in UK worse than any EU or G7 country. Inflation-busting price increases. UK ranks 57th for network performance. 70th for download speeds. 55th for the m quality needed for activities such as video calls, streaming and gaming.
