NEW: Edinburgh has become the first city in Scotland to boycott Israel

"We have an authoritarian US president using every weapon in his arsenal to win power and wealth for his friends in the oligarchy. "Tying ourselves closer will prove politically unpopular and economically short-sighted", our director Nick Dearden writes 👇 www.globaljustice.org.uk/blog/2025/09...

🚨 Breaking news Colombia will host the 1st International Conference on the Phase-Out of Fossil Fuels in April 2026 🌐 Building on the success of previous diplomatic summits on air pollution and Palestine, its aim now is to facilitate a planned, just and sustainable global phase-out of fossil fuels

🚨New survey finds oil & gas workers want decisive action from the UK government, Scottish government and industry to support the transition – but they aren’t getting it. Here’s what workers want: 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2547...

The recognition of Palestinian statehood is long overdue, but without meaningful action to hold Israel to account, the UK’s actions are insufficient. The UK has leverage: it must impose comprehensive, Russia-style economic sanctions and ban arms sales. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Arms embargo and full trade sanctions on Israel NOW.

Thanks to everyone who came, and everyone who was part of making it happen! We will keep resisting Trump – and the politics of Trumpism internationally.

Donald Trump’s UK ambassador holds investments in the companies set to develop flagship tech projects across the country. What would previously have been regarded as outright corruption is now just business as usual in Trump’s White House www.desmog.com/2025/09/18/d...

Trump is dead wrong. Oil and gas won’t lower bills or provide secure energy. He’s peddling a dangerous lie that only benefits his oil industry backers. Here’s why 🧵

New stories show how old investment treaties still roll out the red carpet for investors to sue EU countries over sanctions against aggressive regimes, national security, climate laws, tax policies… This secretive #ISDS system puts profits above democracy. Time to end it 10isdsstories.org

Today was the biggest climate mass lobby in the history of the Scottish parliament 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hundreds of people came from across Scotland to meet their MSPs and demand more action on climate change 💪

Set up and ready for the climate mass lobby of MSPs today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hundreds of people are travelling to Edinburgh to make sure their MSPs are in no doubt about the public support for action on climate change

"Trump is driving his own country down a deeply authoritarian path. Who's using tools of economic warfare against friend and foe alike." Our director @nickdearden.bsky.social on Sky News this morning 👇🏽

So Starmer’s tariff deal with Trump was not what it appeared. And yet we’ve signed another one 🤦‍♂️ I’m in the Guardian explaining why the Tech deal is even worse. Handing more power to US tech barons is not the answer to our problems. 1/3 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"It's bad enough that the UK .. has failed to restrict trade with Israel or end arms exports, despite mounting evidence of war crimes. But for champions of direct-action tactics to face the risk of jail [as] the prime minister plays host to ..Trump, is a disgrace" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Zoe Gardiner, "The saddest thing I've heard about Trump's visit, is that he is going to get his golden carriage ride, but in private, because the great British public would have given him the rotten tomato treatment if he dared to show his face in public"

The UN Commission has added to the huge body of evidence and expert opinion that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The UK Government must not remain complicit in one of the greatest crimes of our age. 1/4 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump's litany of lies and inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television” 👏 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Dale Vince’s latest bright idea — giving even more subsidies to oil and gas giants and "optimising" production — is about as sensible as his plan to mass produce gas from grass. Let's discuss!

NEW: The UK Government must stop pursuing a toxic Trump technology pact ⚠️ Instead of bending over backwards to appease Trump in an attempt to avoid his tariff bullying, it's time to stand up to him. www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/uk-gove...

Positive moves from the Scottish Government on the Gaza genocide: no more public money to companies in Scotland which sell weapons to Israel, calls on UK gov to end trade deal with Israel and ban goods from illegal Israeli settlements. Quote from us ⤵️ www.heraldscotland.com/news/2543881...

We welcome ‪@johnswinney.bsky.social‬ suspending public money for arms companies supplying Israel and calling on the UK government to end its trade deal with Israel and stop the import of goods from Israeli settlements. Read our full reaction here: www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/scottis...

Billionaires have broken Britain. #MakeThemPay to fix it. On Saturday 20 September, thousands of us will take to the streets to demand the government: ✅ Tax the super-rich ✅ Protect workers, not billionaires ✅ Make polluters pay Spread the word today!

"Time to reject Reform and their spiteful and cruel policies, and start building a country based on decency and fairness." Great letter in The Herald from one of our local activists 👏 www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2542...

"Every (oil) company wants to produce the last barrel sold...As long as there is no supply side climate policy, then we are trying to cut with one half of the scissors by solely focusing on reducing demand." The case for a #FossilFuelTreaty clearly laid out ⤵️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

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:

🚨BREAKING: The Tories have announced plans to scrap climate commitments for fossil fuel companies and support them to drill for every last drop of oil & gas. This a great plan to enrich the industry, keep bills high, stall the transition and wreck the climate. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Pressure is ramping up on the UK government to sanction Israel in the same way that apartheid South Africa was in the 1980s, as former Scottish First Minister ‪@humzayousaf.bsky.social‬ adds his voice to the growing call. Read his full article here ⤵️ www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

Pleased to have signed this letter. The UK Government's failure to hold UK companies involved with Israel's genocide in Gaza to account, as well as the UK's broader trade relationship with Israel, has helped to normalise violations of international law. www.thenational.scot/news/2541818...

NEW: Scotland is at a crossroads of crises. The 2026 election must be a turning point towards transformative action. Our new briefing sets out 11 bold, practical ideas to tackle the country’s biggest challenges. It’s time to move beyond business-as-usual 👇

@humzayousaf.bsky.social on the genocide taking place in Gaza and the need for the UK government to put trade sanctions on Israel: www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti... Call on the UK trade secretary to take action now: act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4333

"The activism and the protest I see comes from a joint place of anger at the injustice in the world - but also hope that we can build something better." Our movement building officer @daisystorm11.bsky.social on @bbc5live.bsky.social 👇🏾

🚨 BREAKING: The Cure, Massive Attack, Lola Young, Paloma Faith, Brian Eno and over 100 other musicians have added their voice urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to stop the huge Rosebank oil field.

When governments make the right decision, like halting the Cumbria coal mine, ISDS (aka 'corporate courts') give corporations the power to challenge them in highly secretive tribunals. If those corporations win, they pass their losses from projects onto the taxpayer. www.desmog.com/2025/08/11/u...

The mining company behind the quashed Cumbria coal mine is using a trade treaty to sue the UK government. The High Court had quashed the coal mine due to the assumptions that the mine would not increase global greenhouse emissions being “legally flawed” www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/britain...

For many years we've been calling for the ISDS mechanism in trade and investment treaties to be dropped as they allow corporations to sue governments for things like action on climate change. Now it's happened to the UK government for stopping a climate wrecking coal mine ⤵️ Time to end ISDS!

🚨 NEW: Over half of minerals designated as ‘critical’ by the UK play ‘no major role’ in the green transition, our research reveals Our new briefing finds the often-harmful mining of these resources is being driven in a large way by militarisation www.globaljustice.org.uk/resource/mat...

Today, Trump has launched more economic missiles at countries across the world. His message is simple: submit to the demands of his friends in the oligarchy, or you will be wiped out. Read our full reaction to Trump's tariffs 👇 www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/campaig...

NEW: Reaching net-zero will be much cheaper than previously thought, and the cost of climate breakdown far more severe, according to the OBR. The amount of investment needed to reach net zero will be just over half as much as previously thought: obr.uk/frs/fiscal-r...

Trump's tariff and trade deal strategy is clear: bully governments to change their rules and regulations in favour of US corporate interests, especially those of oligarchs who surround him. Some eye opening examples in this article by @nickdearden.bsky.social 👀 ⤵️ www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Gaza is entering a full-blown, man-made famine. Starmer’s announcement that he might take action in a month is more about distracting from his government’s complicity than taking action which can end this genocide. 🧵 1/4 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UK has just signed a trade agreement with India. If our government wants trade to benefit society and ordinary citizens, rather than big business and its profits, then this isn't the way to go. Hear why from our trade campaigner Cleodie ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRJR...

Cosying up to Trump doesn't work. We can't give into him as he attempts to use tariffs as a tool into bullying us into giving up our rights in US-UK trade negotiations, our media manager @anita-bh.bsky.social tells BBC Scotland

Our colleague @anita-bh.bsky.social on why we protested Trump here in Scotland over the weekend ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iU4...

As Trump meets John Swinney and Keir Starmer on his trip, we have a message for them both: it's time to stand up to him. Our head of campaigns Liz Murray on BBC News Scotland ⤵️
