Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Despite a summer of record heatwaves, wildfires & drought, the UK government has approved the Jackdaw gas field. Next up is Rosebank, the UK's biggest undeveloped North Sea oil field. But the decision hasn’t been made yet. Tell Miatta Fahnbulleh to reject Rosebank act.greenpeace.org/page/203021/...

act.greenpeace.orgUrgent: Help stop RosebankAfter this summer of record-breaking heatwaves, wildfires and drought, we can't afford more drilling. Take action now.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

At #PMQs Andy Burnham ruled out a coalition with the Greens over its "Zionism is racism" motion He said: "It is antisemitic." Zack Polanski responsed: "I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. "You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide & locks pensioners up for opposing it."
