Our world is hurtling into climate disaster and what do politicians give us? Oilfields and new runways | Bill McGuire In the name of ‘pragmatism’, green measures are being ditched, net zero derided. Be very clear: without slashing emissions we are in deep, deep trouble, says UCL professor Bill McGuire

"The excuse most often provided for turning away from green measures, for expanding fossil fuel production, for ignoring the science, is pragmatism.... this is dangerous drivel".

Secret BBC filming exposes hidden culture of misogyny and racism inside Met Police.

Police officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims.

These revelations have been made before. Nothing changed.

Any wonder trust in police is low.

What 4 Labour policies have disappointed Liverpool the most?

Will be interesting to see which groups are sponsoring events at this week's Conservative conference.

Unfortunately I won't be able to tell you about it because her press team have banned me from covering it!

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.

This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

Global Sumud Flotilla:

The Israeli Navy has informed us that it will consider continuing to sail towards Gaza a violation and will arrest the participants.

We are continuing on our way to Gaza, and our sailing towards the sector is legal.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

I had no idea it ended up on the telly, thank you that!

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

The UK must deploy every single lever to end the genocide in Gaza and stop the expansion of Israeli occupation. That includes ending all arms sales and military cooperation, imposing tough sanctions on all responsible for war crimes, and banning imports from illegal settlements.

I welcome the fact that the UK has finally recognised the State of Palestine. This is a long-overdue affirmation of Palestinian dignity after decades of dispossession and suffering. It is one small step towards justice; but the UK can and should do far more.

The real threat to labour isn't bumbling Corbyn - it's the greens.

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills.

The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

🌍 Stopping the Boats Starts with Justice

It’s simple to stop the boats:
✔️ Create safe routes for those seeking safety.
✔️ Stop waging wars and destabilising countries.
✔️ End the UK’s complicity in genocide in Palestine.

Flat screen TV's are plentiful and cheap, as are cheap smart phones.

It's almost as if some want to make sure that *certain* information reaches as many as possible even when shelter, food and healthcare are becoming harder to obtain.
