Trees are a vital part of our ecosystem. They're stressed and out of sync with the insects that they rely on - in an ecological mismatch. But the Labour Government want more oil & gas to be "pragmatic." What are they doing? t.co/ErnUzdBSVv
Huge joy to sit down with the phenomenal @thunberggreta.bsky.social On one hand a super casual chat, on the other hand feels like there is so much to fight for right now and so much urgency. A better world is just within our reach - if we organise for it. Fast. youtu.be/HxWUMbnk6kE?...
Palantir have paid huge sums to former Labour ministers to lobby for this. The NHS sees no convincing patient benefit. Like the US told Trump this week, we're done with big tech corporations taking over our democracy and public assets. Labour won't stand up to them. We will.
The Iran war is causing devastation in the region and forcing up prices here at home. It's time for the UK to stop backing the war, and for the Prime Minister to be clear that US bombers will no longer use UK bases or airspace for raids on Iran.
The interest rate hike today will be yet another economic hit to families facing mounting worries. It doesn't have to be this way. Rather than the blunt tool of interest rates we should be responding to inflation by cutting bills, lowering rents and shifting off fossil fuels.
Labour retrospectively kicking away the ladder from people who have come to this country in good faith to contribute and to bring massive benefits to all of us is cruel, cowardly, and un British. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Israel killed eight people including a child in Gaza this weekend as they continue their genocide. After a weekend of arresting pensioners for protesting against this horror, Labour has today collapsed local agreements putting Israel far above serving our local communities.
The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the poorest 34 *million* people. The problem is not a pensioner or a young person looking for a job - the problem is wealth inequality. We need a wealth tax. Now.
This all feels very much Starmers Labour Government 2.0. An extraordinary attack on free speech from Andy Burnham. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
The government's plan is unraveling fast. While families suffer the banks are celebrating getting off lightly. The choice is clear - either we boost incomes and cut bills, or this country risks falling further into despair and distrust.
We've waited patiently for a plan to end neoliberalism. We won't wait anymore. We need rent controls We need a wealth tax We need *serious* cuts to energy bills Instead it's a few pence off gherkins & a payout which the experts say won't touch the sides on energy bills.
The Chancellor says this is a budget for working people. He says it's about growth and fiscal discipline. But aren't these the same fiscal rules that constantly change - and have constrained the investment this country so badly needs?
Chancellor pays tribute to Rachel Reeves. Yet he's said this is a "continuity government" but refuses to make the big changes we so desperately need. So what was this new Labour Government for other than a change in the people reading the "difficult choices?"
It's very clear that bank profits won't be subjected to Healey's 'difficult choices' today. www.cityam.com/barclays-and...
Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields. He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future" We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense. Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.
Today’s budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with. A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.
Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...
My colleague @sianberry.bsky.social is spot on. I know many Labour MPs know the Home Secretary's plans on indefinite leave to remain are cruel and unfair. Now is the time for decent MPs to stand up.
Won’t lower energy bills. Won’t boost energy security And creates just 27 jobs. Compared to all the benefits of investing in renewables and insulating our homes. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zac...
Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...
