Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I just can’t believe we’re seeing this sort of stuff from a sitting MP Just want to say to British Somalis that you are loved and I’m so, sorry this is happening.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

We need to act now.

Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.

Most of our media most of the time are vigorously arguing for more gas and more oil. Every editorial tells us to kill our families. This has to stop www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Analysis: UK newspapers have already printed 63 editorials in 2026 backing North Sea drilling  - Carbon Brief

UK newspapers have already published 63 editorials this year calling for more oil and gas extraction in the North Sea, according to Carbon Brief analysis.

Unelected nobody Zia (Muhammad Ziauddin) Yusuf of Reform says Britain is being invaded by foreigners and wants to use huge Navy Warships to round up teeny weeny inflatable boats which is like using a tank to catch a rabbit 🙄 Fun fact - Yusuf’s parents migrated to the UK from Sri Lank in 1980’s..

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Think our basic rights are safe? In the age of oligarchs and corporate lobbying, think again | George Monbiot

The global assault on our freedoms is coming ever closer to home. Just look at the sinister prosecution of UK lawyer Rajiv Menon, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In today's super soar away Telegraph: An article on why Farage lacks the judgement to be PM. Plus an article commissioned from Farage... 🤔

Instead of using a photo of the current conflagrations caused by climate breakdown, the Telegraph uses a pic of a wind turbine burning ... in February 2025. Because that's the important thing: 17 months ago a turbine ignited. Caption: "It’s time to cease building wind turbines". #FossilFuelStooges

I'm not qualified to judge whether such people are psychopaths. All I can say is that they behave as if they are. From today's Telegraph.

Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social for having our amazing organiser Audrey on the podcast to talk about sex workers’ rights and why we need the full decriminalisation of sex work in the UK. Make sure to listen to the full episode!

Excellent! If even the raging right-wing Telegraph is turning against Farage his days really could be numbered. Stick the bloody boot in!

Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security. Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes. Time to end water privatisation.

The Polanski T-Shirt nonsense is simply ReformUK trying to maintain a presence in the media, especially while Nigel Farage tries to convince (deflect attention from) the Clacton electorate that he is a better candidate, to represent them in the House of Commons, than Count Binface

No Lies Detected. The current regime doesn’t want people to know this, especially from one of their own. The president of The United States is a liar

For decades, governments have been asleep at the wheel, and the consequences are going to be worse than anything we have ever experienced. We need profound change now.

Food growers & farmers are increasingly experiencing climate breakdown harvests That means higher prices - and more food insecurity. Politicians have been quiet on this growing crisis - but silence isn't good enough when our food supply is at risk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨 New today in Nature 🦟 After decades of debate, we show that climate change has probably made malaria worse in sub-Saharan Africa, causing about 1 extra case per 1,000 children. But: malaria eradication efforts have pulled the other direction 200 times harder. 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Britain's most persecuted minority ... according to The Daily Telegraph's front page ... Millionaires. It's clear who they are here to serve. No wonder they hate Greens for unashamedly calling for wealth to be taxed fairly. Let's make it happen join.greenparty.org.uk

Now do the cost of continued reliance on gas... www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Net zero ‘will cost households £1,400 a year by 2030’

Cost of decarbonising the energy network and upgrading the grid is ‘unsustainable’, according to the Prosperity Institute think tank
