"Significant adverse environmental effects across most topics" , including "major adverse effects on climate change". This should be enough on its own to rule out the Heathrow third runway, but Labour is obsessed by "growth" at all costs, so probably not. www.gov.uk/government/p...

In 1930, Conservative leader Stanley Baldwin said this about Lord Rothermere: "the effect of an enormous fortune rapidly made and the control of newspapers of your own ... goes to your head like wine ... [such people seek] to dictate, to dominate, to blackmail." Let's hear our pols say it of Musk.

Labour’s plan for growth. More gambling, more addiction, more devastation to household finances. Utter shambles.

“The government & judicial system treat far-right terrorism more leniently than leftwing dissent… It might be a nominally Labour government. But this is rightwing authoritarianism” - spot on as ever from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

The EHRC trans code explained: What it does, how it works and what happens next iandunt.substack.com/p/the-ehrc-t...

In 2019, Camden declared a ‘…climate and ecological emergency…’ This is how seriously they take it: ‘the environmental impact would be "significant" and greenhouse gas emissions exceeded council benchmarks, but… benchmarks "were not targets we need to meet".’ www.mylondon.news/news/north-l...

Great piece by @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social on the dangers of extreme wealth. Yes, we need to tax billionaires better but we also need to have a societal conversation about how much is too much. Find out more at extremewealthline.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"It is remarkable that this can all be decided with almost no political oversight." - NEF's Dominic Caddick Andrew Bailey has defended the Bank of England's active sales of govt bonds. But his defence doesn't stand up to scrutiny - see our letter in @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/comment/lett...

This study shows an association between low emission zones and cardiovascular & all cause hospital admissions. If this is a causal effect the mechanism may not only be through air pollution but could be active travel behaviour through less noise, feeling safer etc www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Their names were Daphy Michel (age 31), and Nurul Amin Shah Alam (age 56). Daphy was a vulnerable adult suffering from untreated severe mental health issues, and Nurul was nearly blind — but ICE and CBP dumped both of them in the brutal cold, where they froze to DEATH.

Am increasingly confident he will fail. He’ll be better than Starmer, there will be a honeymoon period, he’ll then duck the big issues, and then he’ll be seen to have failed.

AI is not inevitable, we have choices about the nature of our society and how we use resources. We are the many, they are the few and the future is in our hands. #AI

The future is in renewable energies and energy conservation, not creating carbon bubbles and resources we can't use. #Renewables #FossilFuels #Energy

No, it's because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population. The Guardian really needs to stop publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap as news. (The Avondvierdaagse is a nice tradition though.) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Sir David Attenborough has served as a lifelong champion for the natural world and of the action needed to tackle climate breakdown - it's absolutely right that his decades of work should be properly recognised💚

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

Starmer claims the social media ban is like making alcohol illegal and some kids evading it is inevitable - but this would be like most under 18s getting drunk illegally every day…

An idea I've been playing with for a while is that one of the core elements of the political economy of Trumpism is that a critical mass of the US capitalist class decided that decarbonization was not worth the costs to them.

Result of Tory/Labour freeze of personal allowance at £12570 since April 2021. Number of income tax payers: 2021/22, 33m; 2025/26, 39.1m. Basic rate payers: 2021/22, 27.4m; 2025/26, 30.4m Pensioners paying income tax: 2021/22, 6.74m; 2025/26, 8.72m. More poor people paying income tax.

It’s complicated to explain why and I’m tired and it’s Sunday but to be clear: if they do this it absolutely guarantees that the UK’s net zero 2050 target will not be met. It is rank capitulation of of climate commitments to special interests tied to the fossil lobby

💚 Nine years on, we remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. We reaffirm our commitment to campaigning for safe housing for all.

With the full caveat that I have never managed a govt dept, as Wes Streeting knows very well having been health secretary, investment in active travel *pays for itself many times over* in better public health outcomes etc. Cutting investment is often a false economy, as the UK knows to its cost.

I've been a carer for 20+ years. This is the first time I've seen a politician do more than post a meaningless tweet during carers week and actually take the trouble to listen to 'my' side.

📸 Thousands turn out for an anti-racism rally in Glasgow, with speakers including Aamer Anwar, Holly Bruce, Iris Duane and Susie McCabe addressing the crowd Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The scenes we saw in Glasgow earlier this week, as racists took to the streets to intimidate and threaten ethnic minority Glaswegians were despicable, and this afternoon we showed a tiny, outnumbered crowd of bigots that we don't want their hatred in our city.

"A trillionaire is not a sign of a healthy economy - it is a sign that extraordinary wealth and power are being concentrated in the hands of a tiny few while millions of people struggle to afford the basics." Britain says no to trillionaires as Musk becomes the world's first! 👉 bit.ly/4oouiMF

Daily Mail posts lies about the Greens that are spread far and wide. I wish half the number of people saw their apologies. Solidarity with Kamel.

Really really weak answer from Sadiq. I expected better. Next time we need a Green Mayor who’s actually going to stand up for the LGBTQ community. Something our current Mayor is failing to do.

Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

There's a Genocide happening in Gaza. Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action." And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.

Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. We’ve campaigned so long for this! Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now our young people will have a chance to get to know & love the natural world, to feel awe & wonder, & gain skills to protect it 🌷🌳🦡

On the day before Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire, all I can think about is that time in 2021 when the head of the UN World Food Program asked Musk to donate $6 billion to save 42 million people from starvation and he refused.

I've written to Health Secretary James Murray urging him to oppose the EHRC Code of Practice for services and associations before it comes into force. With Trans+ people facing rising hostility, ministers should be standing up for equality and everyone’s right to participate fully in public life. 🏳️‍⚧️

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There’s actually very few prominent Labour MP’s on here. Only 2 from the Cabinet - Darren Jones & Yvette Cooper. Neither have have posted in the last few months, so essentially not active. The whole cabinet lives on X, really helps explain the govt’s inability to read the room. mps.dowu.uk

Absolutely awful tragic news. Hit by a driver as she stood next to a marked police car at an existing collision. No one is safe on UK roads. Absolutely no one. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It's "a matter for Ofcom", who didn't do a damn thing the last 206,863 times X broke the law... ... but this time, they just might. Musk must be shitting himself. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

@clairehanna.bsky.social : "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

Don't tolerate the media legitimising thugs who attack people for the colour of their skin. They aren't 'anti-immigration campaigners' like the BBC said this morning, they are violent scumbags. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Anas Sarwar to the SNP this afternoon: If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear Every Labour MSP then voted against the Green proposal for a review covering the finances of ALL political parties (it passed anyway). Do Team🥀 have something to hide/fear?
