"By rejecting Rosebank, saying no to a third runway at Heathrow, and putting a pause on energy-hungry data centres until they align with climate goals, the government can show it’s on the side of communities and is serious about securing a stable climate." - Imogen Dow, FoE. shorturl.at/IELa0

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...

Number crunching: Royal Mail From the latest Private Eye, out now.

I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Someoen needs the guts to stand up to the tech giants. The EU can "Meta's new terms are clearly anti-competitive. Many business' effectively have no choice but to ​use Meta's services & these conditions would force them to sign away the rights to their digital content ​with no means of opting out"

If Americans can go to jail for lying to Congress, then why don’t congressmen go to jail for lying to Americans?

📢 Another pre-budget reminder that the UK has become a land of Ferraris and Foodbanks. The money exists to improve life for the vast majority - it's just that it's currently hoarded in the greedy grasping hands of a few. The budget needs to set a course to change this... #TaxTheRich #EndBillionaires

🔥 Over one year since the ceasefire agreement, more than 1,400 people have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, nearly two million still need shelter, not a single hospital is fully functioning, and 1.4 million face crisis-level hunger.

🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 So it turns out that Andy Burnham is just another uber-unionist fundamentalist PM, who believes that it is for him to determine Scotland’s constitutional future, and NOT the people of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Burnham also states that the (English) “PUBLIC ARE THE BOSSES” to decide on rejoining the EU

More Accurate than it’s not….

Burnham promised to “end neoliberalism & tackle the cost-of-living crisis” Confidence briefly increased, but quickly ebbed once we realised just how “limited his ambitions were” Today “The average household is £2,400 worse off purely as a result of the Iran war” open.substack.com/pub/zeteouk/...

Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, the latest report from a UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded.

Emily Holzhausen, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at CarersUK, welcomes the Government’s plan to end the Carer’s Allowance earnings cliff edge. This however should be the start as carer's allowance is 5x less than minimum wage, and that is something that needs to be addressed too.

Voice of Rabbis If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know: Video from Monroe New York, The message was unmistakable: “We oppose and have no part in Zionism and State of israel” Not fringe. Not small.

Perspective

Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

If the BBC treated the Green Party as they do Reform, and Reform as they do the Greens, Reform would be on 10% and the Greens 20%

It is painful to witness the images coming from the West Bank. The Israeli destructive machine stops at nothing: it uproots entire olive groves, erases years of labor, and devastates what for Palestinians represents life, history, and identity. The Zionist entity be forever dammed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The Conservatives wouldn't have had an 80-seat majority to "betray Brexit" without Farage's party standing down during that General Election - and it seems getting paid to do it. #r4today

Inside Deloitte’s role in the UK’s ‘eye-wateringly’ expensive test and trace disaster www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

This Deloitte? www.bbc.com/news/article...

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

It's ridiculous that CEOs require millions of dollars in compensation when most employees under them are living paycheck to paycheck. So many problems in this world are caused by greed.

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

Exactly!

The doctor said next week’s midterm elections will be, “the most dangerous period in American history because a man with this fragile mental state is going to find himself on the losing end.” I’m willing to take that risk. Vote out every Republican! #VoteAmerica www.rawstory.com/trump-needs-...

Assange on Lula

I am Jewish. My grandparents were Jews who escaped the Holocaust. Pogroms were a common practice, ethnic cleansing too, and they managed to escape before the Holocaust. Most of their family members are dead, we’re a broken family tree with missing spots. I support Palestine BECAUSE I am Jewish.

If you're even unsure of who to vote for in any given election, you probably won't go far wrong by checking which candidate has suddenly had their Facebook and X accounts suspended in the run-up to the vote, and voting for whoever that person is

We do not need huge numbers of data centres to gobble up water and power. This isn't about helpful artificial intelligence it is about billionaires taking the biggest share they can get of wealth and leaving the rest of us increasingly powerless. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
