Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

Andy Burnham will announce plans for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea when he becomes prime minister on Monday, the BBC has been told. The announcement will form part of a flurry of policy m...

Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling

Drilling has become a controversial topic for the Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licences.

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

How is this cartoon of Zack Polanski, published in the Sun - complete with forked tongue and other Der Stürmer tropes - not blatantly antisemitic?

Remember to take your photo ID with you when you go and vote to stop fascism today ✊🏼

This is insane. This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism. He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski. His response? To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski? No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

This is what the BBC told someone they were interviewing from Gaza. Who gives a fuck what israel says? It’s literally like BBC telling a Jew inside a concentration camp “the Nazis strongly reject the accusations that war crimes are committed against you. What do you say to that?”

The question before us isn’t if the ethnic cleansing and Israeli policies are legal or not. The challenge is whether the world will ever find the resolve to take action against an apartheid state that uses war crimes as a mental fog for the slow-motion dispossession of an entire nation.

Ethnic cleansing is happening right in front of our eyes. The UK government must stop all arms to Israel and enforce full sanctions on Israel now. Until then our county is complicit in genocide. @louisehaighmp.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @ukparliament.parliament.uk

Israel to ‘seize more ground’ and warns Hamas it will annex parts of Gaza

Indicted war criminal Netanyahu confuses the notion of 'the beginning' with that of 'ongoing' while celebrating the genocide he is perpetrating with the full support of a West that is disunited on everything except its complicity in this genocide www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Netanyahu warns Israel’s renewed Gaza offensive ‘is only the beginning’

Israeli PM says attacks will continue until Hamas is destroyed and hostages freed, as airstrikes kill hundreds

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.

The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians shifts up a gear with Trump 2.0: Trump now promotes the 'relocation' of Palestinians from Gaza - itself a war crime - calling it temporary or long-term. For good measure he lifted the 'hold' on 2,000-pound bombs for Israel! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...
