I've despised the Tories with every fibre of my being since the moment I was born. But these last two Labour governments have been the worst ones of my lifetime. Total, naked subservience to corporate power, glossed over by a pathetic sheen of trivial, insulting, inane gestures.

John Healey reportedly including revenues from the not-yet-approved Rosebank oil field to fund his Budget would mean paying for this Budget with the health and security of ordinary working families and their children.

A huge thanks for all of your incredible support. We'll be closing our crowdfunder ahead of schedule this Sunday. More big stories coming your way, including a shocking, far-reaching piece about "the online smear machine". Stay tuned for that. subscribe.bylinetimes.com/lightuptheda...

HOPE not hate welcomes today’s verdict. A jury has found Stephen Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, guilty on both counts of harassing journalists and causing them to fear violence. The intimidation was so severe that journalists and their families were forced to leave their homes or seek protection.

🚨 A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered an investigation into JD Vance’s billionaire donor network over alleged efforts to assist Flávio Bolsonaro’s failed presidential campaign. The Rockbridge Network has ties to Peter Thiel, Rebekah Mercer, and other powerful MAGA donors.

The ocean absorbs around 30% of human-induced CO₂ emissions & 90% of excess heat generated by climate change. But factors such as warming, acidification & pollution are disrupting such functions. A new UN report calls for better data to guide ocean-based climate technologies: bit.ly/4ioNK9G

Was that it? It all felt very familiar. A Labour Government totally unwilling to take on power and wealth and give our country the investment we so desperately need. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Brazilian Supreme Court also calls for an investigation into: — Allegations that influencers were paid to promote pro-Bolsonaro Polymarket predictions. — Meta’s algorithms — Reports of paid AI-generated fake accounts, deepfakes, and coordinated disinformation operations.

Campaign win! Adelaide has voted to ban high-carbon advertising. Here’s how the fossil ad ban could put one of Australian cycling’s most polluting sponsors in last place. www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

£2bn on supporting fossil "stupid" fuels. With over 30% of households in Worcester in fuel poverty, this is a start - but how many more times are we going to pay for expensive stupid fuels? Where's the plan to provide cheap energy to those who are choosing between eating and heating?

How many children injured or killed is a reasonable number for someone to be able to park right outside their house?

Tomorrow's front page 📰 SNP MP detained by Israel issues West Bank warning

We need stronger sanctions on Israel, which include: 👉🏼 Companies that profit from existing settlements and the broader occupation 👉🏼 A full ban on arms sales 👉🏼 Suspension of the UK-Israel trade agreement Write to the Foreign Secretary now ⤵️ act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4930

The ISDS Days of Action this month hitting the headlines! 📰💥 We turned up outside Jonathan Reynolds office with High Peak Green New Deal, @mcrfoe.bsky.social and @climatejusticeuk.bsky.social to call for the government to rid us of corporate courts. It's time for an ISDS free world 🌎✊🏼

This week marks 20 years since the Stern review of the economics of climate change. It marked a massive moment in reckoning with the climate crisis. But many economists still have not caught up. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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.

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...

📣Tomorrow's UK budget is PM Andy Burnham's chance to show he's serious about climate action & a just transition. Instead of cutting heat pump funding to increase defence spending, his government should end their carbon capture fairytale and back proven solutions! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A court in Cairo has ordered the closure of the independent Egyptian news site Mada Masr. The court also ordered the site’s editor-in-chief, Lina Attalah, to be detained until she pays a fine of over $50,000.

If you have people cycling through a pedestrian area where cycling isn’t allowed—particularly tourists and visitors unfamiliar with the network—that means a vital connection is missing. “No cycling” signs and scolding individuals won’t fix the problem. Safe, direct, legible alternatives will.

Travelling in London can be complex, and even more so if you're dependent on having access to toilets along the way. We've made it easier to find in TfL Go - tap on any station on the map, and if toilets are there, tap the new 'Toilet facilities' button for detailed info.

🤔 Reading this 🔽. People might not like its "Lexiteer" stance but it's spot on about the disastrous Thatcherite legacy and the UK's bizarre decision to give up on industry and manufacturing in favour of a City of London-dominated financialised service economy...👍 www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

We are very pleased to say that the recent rain has replenished the Woods Mill lake

Great work by Guy and others, which mustn't go to waste. Please respond, however briefly, to this consultation, and help end the feudal tradition of secrecy and exclusion. Democracy dies in darkness.

HSBC quarterly pre-tax profits surge 32% to $9.6bn (£7.14bn). Banks receive bailouts, subsidies, pay measly return to savers, hike charges, rely on the state as lender of the last resort but threaten retaliation if taxed. Must levy windfall tax.

Trump hedges on the midterms. Abbott caught hiding his “intimate and embarrassing” Musk emails. Don Jr. hunting with a Russian oligarch. Bolsonaro terrified of what's to come—and may be on the run. Catch up on today's updates:

Victim blaming season is back, alongside darker evenings and mornings. But perhaps it’s time to recognise that like “cities aren’t loud; cars are loud”, our roads aren’t dangerous by themselves. It’s the motor vehicles on them that create the danger and that perhaps it’s time to address the source.

It’s so tiring the way every penny of #ActiveTravel funding has to be fought for, and then fought to be retained. Every penny spent on walking and cycling is returned fivefold. Every penny spent on roads will struggle to break even. @libdemcyclewalkwheel.org.uk @greenlibdems.org.uk

“Honestly, how will we carry the guilt if further deaths occur on Marsh Way knowing that we had a fully (externally) funded solution planned and ready to implement but then turned our backs?”

You may think that the best evidence the Proof Series revealed Trump's 1990s rapes at the Plaza Hotel a year before Congress—which disclosed it in yesterday's historic report—is my 800-page book PROOF OF DEVILRY (2025). But better evidence is the fact that I released a song about it.... last year.

🤔 Hopefully, the war criminal Netanyahu will lose power but, beyond that, it seems there are no good outcomes. Whatever happened to the left in Israel...? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

I think it doesn't reflect well on the BBC that one its leading presenters is allowed to write an 'analysis' for a highly partisan newspaper which includes lines like "Racial minorities, worshipped by white Democrats" www.dailymail.com/news/article...

We hope the Budget tomorrow will mark a shift away from expensive road expansion where the case is weak, towards a transport system that offers better value for taxpayers, more choice for communities and a more sustainable future. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/the-budget-m...

Renewables like wind and solar help protect you from the worst of climate disasters like heatwaves and floods. They can also help shield you from higher bills when oil and gas prices go through the roof.

We now see that #plastic we drink, eat, breathe harms the human body. But documents from 20y ago show industry scientists aware that microplastic migrates thro gut landing in important organs. Anyone surprised? Deja vu cigarettes, climate change - harmful data ignored and/or we were misinformed.

Total abandonment of broadcast standards and fair representation of all political parties. Give the same coverage to Greens, Lib Dems and progresive parties - I dare you BBC!
