It’s time to act. And when we do we won’t just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown - but we will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive - and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come.

Stop calling Elon Musk's Ceuta border tweet "just trolling." Start calling it a calculated attempt to weaponise crisis, stoke division, and erode democracy. 🧵👇

By stoking far-right nationalism, tech monopolies are actively trying to fracture democratic blocs like the EU. Why? Because isolated countries are far easier to bully and deregulate than a united wall of 450 million citizens.

Hiding behind bought influence when faced with backlash isn't democracy; it's manipulation and propaganda. They fear unity because a connected public can actually face down autocracy.

We refuse to be passive bystanders to manufactured chaos. Real leadership doesn't come from billionaires with big megaphones, it comes from ordinary people demanding our leaders stand up for international law and human decency. Sign the open letter!

It will take all of us to break through the fear and noise and show our leaders a better path.

Over the weekend, a premature fetus was recovered from the rubble after an Israeli airstrike killed its pregnant mother. In another strike, 4 people were killed in their car.

These are just some of the scenes emerging from Gaza this weekend—losses no one should have to witness, especially when the victims are their own loved ones.

Palestinians in Gaza are already struggling each day for basic necessities while living under the constant threat of Israeli military attacks. They should not also have to endure the trauma of watching their loved ones suffer and die in unimaginable ways.

Today, Palestinians held a mass funeral for more than 100 members of two extended families killed in a single Israeli strike in 2023. Their bodies could not be recovered until now because of shortages of equipment and fuel.

The funeral was held in the ruins of Gaza City's Al-Sabra neighborhood, where the families once lived.

Over the weekend, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 25 Palestinians. On Saturday, the strikes killed 7 people across Gaza. On Sunday, at least 18 Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City where the unborn baby was recovered, as well as in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis.

An Israeli strike hit a car on Salah al-Din Road in central Gaza, killing four Palestinians.

Meanwhile, thousands of displaced Palestinians across Gaza are enduring an extreme heat wave in makeshift tents with little access to drinking water.

More than 350,000 families remain without temporary shelter, while hundreds more are displaced each day as Israeli forces expand the areas under their control and restrict Palestinians' access.

Despite the Israeli government's so-called ceasefire, the death toll from Israeli attacks continues to rise. In July, 152 people were killed in Israeli attacks, the highest monthly death toll of 2026 according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

America is led by a confirmed sexual abuser, whose family have reportedly enriched themselves by the $billllllllions whilst he's been in office, who has had hundreds of his bank accounts closed due to suspected money laundering! Oh, those halcyon days of standards in public office!

Capital One disclosed in a court filing that it shut down hundreds of Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns. President Trump has maintained that his businesses were "debanked" for political reasons, and the Trump Organization sued Capital One last year. https://cnn.it/4xiOF0T

Our prisons are overcrowded because the system is broken. The answer isn't endless emergency releases. It's investing in prevention, rehabilitation and giving people the support they need to rebuild their lives.

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...

While wildfires rage, oil bosses are laughing all the way to the bank thanks to Donald Trump’s idiotic Iran war. People across the country are facing sky high energy bills. If Burnham is struggling to find the money to help families with those bills, I’d start here.
