Caitlin Prowle is absolutely right about the importance not just of community in the abstract, but of community ownership of assets as a means of making it a concrete reality - and it’s been great seeing the @coopparty.party.coop successfully push this agenda nationally

The Renter's Rights Bill is now law - meaning from early next year, renters in Luton North will have the protections Labour promised at the election. 🏠 This govt believes everyone has the right to live in a safe home, protected from exploitation and malpractice. This new Act delivers on that.

Plug-in hybrid cars are essentially a massive fossil fuel demand protection scam enacted on well-meaning consumers trying to do the right thing The gap between reported and real emissions is just utterly bonkers - new @transenvuk.bsky.social study here www.transportenvironment.org/articles/smo...

"It is wrong that people have to leave the communities they grew up in to find well-paid, good jobs" - this is why clean power represents a key industrial opportunity. 📣 See below for our Directors' comments on the Clean Energy Jobs Plan. 👇

Exclusive: Miliband's clean jobs plan wins over the unions The Energy Secretary's clean power plans have been enthusiastically backed by some of net zero’s loudest critics within the trade union movement. 🖊️ @meganekenyon.bsky.social

Obsessed with this

As I was speaking on panels at Labour conference last week I began to describe the Britain I know exists and love. In the end I gave it a name: Mr Blobby Patriotism And I’ve written about it for @renewaljournal.bsky.social here bsky.app/profile/rene...

Ed Miliband: “pessimism never won a single fucking victory” The Energy Secretary used Labour conference to argue for net zero’s future – and his own 🖊️ @meganekenyon.bsky.social

This is an incredible achievement that the Mayor deserves an enormous amount of credit for. He chose what was right over what was easy &, as a result, countless Londoners lives will be saved. Now Labour must make the case for clean air action all over the country. www.london.gov.uk/london-meets...

Labour to launch 'Send the Frackers Packing' campaign against pro-fracking Reform UK in shale gas areas This is bloody excellent. Well done Ed Miliband. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

We now move to our next panel discussion 'Leading the Charge: the Next Stage of the EV Transition', in partnership with @transenvuk.bsky.social, where we're delighted to welcome Minister for Local Transport @liliangreenwood.bsky.social

We're underway at our third and final day of #LAB25 in the LCEF x Anacta Hub with 'Cleaning the Air through Labour's Health Mission'

Really great to hear @kirstymcneill.bsky.social at @coopparty.party.coop & @hopenothate.org.uk event talk about the importance of reviving social clubs - particularly in deprived areas - & the role they play in strengthening communities, tackling isolation & bringing people together.

@pollybillington.bsky.social on great form at Labour Coastal reception - rightly highlighting how critical it is that we don't leave coastal communities behind & the enormous potential they have to play in the green transition.

Standing room only for @lcefuk.bsky.social's in conversation event with Ed Miliband and @lewisgoodall.com looking back on his three decades of being a leading voice in climate and labour politics 🌹

I’ve spent a lot of time writing and thinking about the ways the government is fucking it. Nice to take a break and write about something going sincerely right: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The UK’s problems aren’t caused by immigration on.ft.com/46p3BPl

As ever, Nick Lowles is spot on. When it comes to taking on the far right, progressives haven’t got a moment to waste in building a vision of togetherness we can unite the country behind. Plenty to reflect on from his Guardian interview 👉 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 BREAKING: Communities run through the just-announced Strategic Priorities for Great British Energy. This Government is delivering on its commitment to roll out clean, green, community-owned energy. 🌱

Great work by @transenvuk.bsky.social. Taxation hasn't kept up with the trend towards larger SUVs. Large SUVs are worse for the planet & create more air pollution, while being far more dangerous to other road users & marginalising space for others. It's about time something was done about it.

Right to swim and wild camp in England should be enshrined in law, Labour MPs say

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

This is untrue on most major issues (though the media eıite don't know this). It is untrue on immigration in particular. Untrue on climate, on Trump, on human rights, on inciting racism. And much else

New analysis from @britishelectionstudy.com highlights a critical point I made in my post about the liklihood of a Reform election win this week. Labour's lost votes from 2024 have nearly all gone to DK/LD/Green. There is a viable anti-Farage coalition there. samf.substack.com/p/will-refor...

The evidence of the negative impact of air pollution keeps growing. We can do something about it. “By lowering our collective exposure to air pollution, we can potentially reduce the risk of developing these devastating neurodegenerative conditions on a population-wide scale.”

Sort of dizzying to think about how many people are alive today because Patricia Hewitt (ban on smoking in enclosed spaces) was health secretary and because Norman Fowler (mandatory seatbelts) was transport secretary and health secretary (HIV/Aids).

Labour has been quietly going quite hard on "community empowerment" – possibly because it's one of the few halfway coherent theories knocking around the party about how to tackle anti-politics. I've spoken to a lot of people about it for @newstatesman.com: www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious: yet again, the Tories are claiming that we can get "all our oil and gas" from the North Sea and that we should be doing even more to support the industry to extract. There are several reasons why we should treat this with maximum scepticism:

🚨 We're excited to kick off this Parliamentary Session by announcing our new Advisory Board, bringing together a range of leaders, campaigners, strategists and policy experts from across the Labour movement - united by a commitment to driving ambitious and fair climate action.

This is my flag.

☁️ It’s Time to Clear the Air Ralph Palmer makes the case for Labour to lead on delivering clean air across the country. 🔗 lcef.co.uk/blog/clearin...

⏰ The UK’s richest are on track to pollute 22x more from travel than the poorest by 2035. Current policy risks missing climate targets + worsening inequality. In this report from @sfrost.bsky.social, we set out a fairer, faster pathway. www.ippr.org/articles/fai...

It's not a 'war on motorists', it's a war against needless deaths. It is perplexing to me that the same commentators who want a smaller state also want Whitehall to decide whether a few bollards can be placed in Birmingham. Opinion piece by me in The Standard 👇 www.standard.co.uk/comment/low-...

Via London's City Hall today: "So far, this summer alone, the London Fire Brigade has already responded to 64 wildfires, compared to just 19 in the entire summer of 2020 — a staggering 237 per cent increase with weeks still to go of this hot summer." Sadiq Khan notes climate change is a major driver

Latest research on public attitudes from me👇 “The public are clear what better transport looks like. No matter how you vote, where you live or currently get around there is a clear desire for more public transport options and for these to be affordable, accessible and better integrated.”

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

In the Future of Socialism Anthony Crosland rightly said that socialism should be focused not just on exports and pensions, but also on having more cafes, brighter streets, more theatres, murals, public art and the many public goods that make life better. This paper from the IPPR touches on this.

Imagine introducing on the market a product that is several times more fatal for children. That wouldn't work in most sectors, but it barely raises an eyebrow in the car market. And soon most cars on European roads will be SUVs.

Back-to-back European Champions! My god. What a team 🦁

This Lionesses team though, bloody hell. What an incredible group. They were dead on their feet but just never stopped. 3 consecutive finals!

Surely it's time to rename Fergie time to Wiegman time?

A must read.
