On both job creation and cost of living, there's no contest - we should be investing in insulation and heat pumps, not opening new oil fields.

A clear message from frontline workers to Andy Burnham: Reject Rosebank. Ten national trade unions signed an open letter with the same message.

El Niño: Ten Things You Need to Know Includes forecasts of floods & droughts, why this El Niño is a 'Godzilla', and why this is not a good time for another hit to global food security And why the biggest problem with El Niño is that we've already superheated the land & seas by burning fossil fuels

For workers, the climate crisis is here: TUC Congress 2026 report from @gjalliance.bsky.social

Full text of the Climate heat emergency motion here: congress.tuc.org.uk/c14-climate-...

Debra Beale, Joint President of @neunion.bsky.social urged support for Composite 14 on the climate heat emergency, brought together with @aslefunion.bsky.social & amendments from @fbunational.bsky.social congress.tuc.org.uk/c14-climate-...

Thanks all who came to our TUC fringe meeting. Three key themes were clear: First - we need a clear understanding of the urgency of the climate crisis. We showed National Emergency Briefing highlights www.cacctu.org.uk/neb_highlights with intro from Dr Joanna Macrae @nebriefing.bsky.social

At our fringe meeting yesterday, Steve Wright @fbunational.bsky.social says banning disposable barbecues won't cut it - real action is needed on wildfire resilience and the climate emergency.

The Year of Climate Action continues 🌱 Take part in BFAWU’s workplace climate audits because safe, cool, and green workplaces protect us all. https://www.bfawu.org/health-safety-and-environment/environment/year-of-trade-union-climate-action/

This Saturday in Manchester! 🎟️ Last chance to get your ticket for #MakeGreenFair conference: www.ticketsource.com/fuel-poverty... 💚 Can't wait to see you there to discuss how to bring the benefits of the green transition to everyone, not just the already wealthy

After the flood: human suffering on an unfathomable scale in Nepal’s worst-hit districts

Opposing the far right at this point is an existential imperative.

✊ WIN for Unite bus drivers striking over safe heatwave working. Arriva has agreed to fit air conditioning before next summer, plus other improvements to driver conditions. www.unitetheunion.org/news-events/...

We'll be down in Brighton for Workers Planet 2026 on Saturday 12th September - see you there? Alongside discussions on climate and trade union organising, the programme explores housing justice, AI, collective resilience, the challenge of the far right, and international solidarity.

Hey, bus drivers sweltering in 40C+ cabs, apparently all you need to do is "drink a bit less rosé in the sunshine" and heatwaves won't be a problem. "You might think it would be hard to deny the basic reality of climate change as the temperatures soared outside. You’d be wrong."

Firefighters are attending major wildfire and flooding incidents without national standards in funding, crewing, or PPE. It's time for the government to properly invest in UK fire and rescue services, starting with 5,000 more firefighters. FBU general secretary Steve Wright on Channel 4 News.

3/3 Energy investment must serve the public interest, not just corporate profits. Funding British clean energy will secure our home-grown supply and build reliable green jobs for the future.

1/3 I have written to the Energy Secretary, urging her to uphold Labour’s manifesto pledge not to issue new licences for North Sea oil and gas fields.

If you want to know more about data centres, AI, their damaging impact on climate and other concerns, this is a good place to start 👇

Just one planned data centre, in North Ockendon on the edge of London, would emit 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

As well as the need for a maximum working temperature, this article highlights some of the adjustments that can make working in a heatwave bearable. Some are as simple as changing uniform requirements. Having a unionised workforce is really important in getting changes made that protect workers.

Solidarity with bus drivers on strike today over unsafe working conditions. Cab temperatures of over 40C put both drivers and passengers at risk. www.unitetheunion.org/news-events/...

🚨 Energy firms including Shell, BP and Centrica have made £6 billion+ on their UK operations alone so far this year, we can reveal today. A handful of oil and gas companies have made more than £95 billion on their global profits. (1/3)

In the last 48 hours, we've seen major wildfires in Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, South Wales, and Suffolk. This is not bad luck. This is climate change, and firefighters are on the frontline.

🔥Arriva bus drivers striking in North and East London over unsafe working conditions in heatwaves! ✊Support picket lines: 14, 18, 25 August & 4, 17, 18, 21 Sept Barking, Edmonton, Enfield, Grays, Palmers Green, Stamford Hill, Tottenham, Wood Green

‘Working class communities deserve a bold climate plan from Labour’ @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

Over 175,000 people have signed petitions calling for the government to introduce maximum workplace temperatures. Bus drivers in north London are threatening to strike unless air conditioning is installed in cabs where some have recorded temperatures of 50°C.

July is on course to be the driest in nearly 200 years, with droughts declared across Wales. The Met Office has predicted that UK summers will be 60% drier by 2070. And yet there aren't enough firefighters to deal with faster-growing and more frequent wildfires.

The FBU is urging government to convene a National Wildfire Summit to build national resilience. We need 5,000 more firefighters now.

Some deeper questions asked here, but also something very basic, which everyone in public life should already be aware of - expanding North Sea oil drilling is not a reliable route to safeguard or create jobs.
