This is unbelievably biased bad reporting. Gas is not a viable transition fuel and LNG is especially not viable in South East Asia. It exposes nations to higher prices and volatile markets AND it doesn't even help decarbonise. LNG has incredibly high carbon emissions.

What Israel is doing to Palestinians is what Reform and Labour want to do to migrants to a lesser degree. To deny people their human rights and to expel and dehumanise them. It's all from the same playbook.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Why is it always let's copy Estonia on digital policy and never let's copy Portugal on drugs policy

"Public support for digital IDs has collapsed after Keir Starmer announced plans for their introduction, in what has been described as a symptom of the prime minister’s “reverse Midas touch”. Net support for digital ID cards fell from 35% in the early summer to -14% at the weekend - More In Common

It’s just possible that the Labour voices who urged Khan to ditch Ulez expansion after the Uxbridge by-election were not, after all, strategic geniuses.

Can't think of many better illustrations of how badly we have botched housing policy than the fact that our bill for housing homeless families (£2.8bn pa) is now higher than the money we spend each year on new affordable housing (£2.3bn) www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/english...

Bloomberg has done a deep dive on the impacts of data centers on affordability of electricity. Analyzing data from 25,000 nodes used by seven regional transmission authorities, it finds data centers are causing large and rapid rate increases. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

This is good messaging and we know from the social science that — if it breaks through — it actually hurts far-right parties like Reform. Correct & strategic on multiple dimensions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Too many UK pensioners can't afford heating bills. Despite the triple-lock state pension is less than 50% of min wage. 2m pensioners live in poverty. 128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty; 110,000 are pensioners. Must end profiteering, align state pension with living wage. archive.ph/hqoYS

Microsoft is profiting off genocide and apartheid. They just got caught. But what about all the money they made off it? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Just to make this point even clearer, while these numbers are pretty bad for the SNP, they're substantially worse for Labour. The state of our politics in a chart:

Derek Thompson, co-author of the abundance agenda, is doing a big Google AI-washing event By my calculations, Google's greenhouse gas emissions have ballooned 1.6x since 2019, thanks to an abundance of fossil fuels powering their data centre expansion www.climateweeknyc.org/events/where...

Every time you board a bus, or catch a train, you’re caught in a web of private ownership. “Public” transport is not public. Why does transport cost more while our services get worse? 🧵 Let’s look at the facts. (1/11)

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

It's not hard. Just copy/paste the attached.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Just to be clear, the media are complicit in Reform UK's rise. They have consistently platformed Farage and co over and above their legal and fair requirements in order to increase their viewership numbers at the expense of democracy. This has been going on for over a decade or more and is not new.

Well done for acknowledging what 147 other countries have already recognized for years. Now sanction Israel.

I'm using an LLM to categorise tasting notes of coffee beans. This one made me laugh. It's obviously bad data, but the LLM still tried.

To even allow the appearance of this — Starmer’s No 10 adopting Trumpian media management policies — seems extraordinary to me. Very depressing.

Not only this but not the government announced further privatisation contracts to Palantir and co just today. Why is it that there is always money to pay foreign private companies but never to pay for publicly owned in-house work? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Such a great piece of storytelling!

today, Rachel Reeves meets BlackRock & Blackstone bosses to ask what British derisking state can do for them. New Rip-off Britain project by @cmmonwealth.bsky.social shows what institutional ownership has done for us: 200bn from our pockets to Big Finance!

The killing in Gaza continues. Yesterday, September 13, the Israeli military killed 68 people, 10 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid. ישראל ממשיכה את ההרג בעזה. אתמול, 13.9, הצבא הישראלי הרג 68 בני אדם - מתוכם 10 בעת שחיכו לסיוע הומניטרי

A Labour government that does not fight back against the far right, racism and extremism fundamentally misunderstands the nature of its electoral support.

Blog: US Funding of International Organizations Has Collapsed With weeks left in FY, US has paid zero toward assessed (membership) contributions to WHO, WTO, FAO, ILO, UNESCO, NATO, OECD, WMO, WIPO & more. FY26 budget suggests paying dues to only 7 out of 46 organizations under the IO account.

These people are sadistic. "'The real existential threat right now is not a degree of climate change,' Burgum said. 'It’s the fact that we could lose the AI arms race if we don’t have enough power.'” www.eenews.net/articles/bur...

Just subscribed! The climate movement so often is afraid to link issues of justice and human rights. Always happy to support anyone that tries to tackle these contradictions head on.

More lives lost including 1 woman & 2 children. Government have just closed refugee family reunion (RFR) safe route. 56% of grants for RFR were children & 37% were women. So the number of women & children crossing, and dying, is going to soar. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Herzog is President of a state committing genocide, that has also carried out illegal attacks on other sovereign nations. We should not be welcoming him, but arresting and investigating him for war crimes. It's beyond time to hold Israeli politicians to account.

Powerful new Banksy mural on the Royal Courts of Justice building shows a judge hitting a protester lying on the ground with his gavel, with blood splattering the placard.

"The artwork has already been concealed by large sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers". Of course it has. That is how the British state deals with problems, just cover them up and don't let anyone get close. Not to mention the uniformed guards.

The mass deployment of district heating for UK cities fed by the warm waters of old coal mines would be both practical and poetic. We can’t turn back the clock, but we can honour the past as we build a cleaner future. inews.co.uk/news/environ...

Seriously every Democratic Senator must read @ezraklein.bsky.social’s op-ed and explain why they would possibly consider voting to continue funding Trump’s fascist government. Here’s a gift link if they need one: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Unbelievable how much money and political capital Labour are wasting here. Not only is the government morally bankrupt but it is also incredibly inept. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
