As the conflict in the Persian Gulf continues, fossil fuel companies are preparing for record-breaking profits while billions of people face soaring energy bills and "energy poverty."We’re tired of a world where our energy system fuels war and destroys our climate.

Live by the bomb, die by the bomb.
We just keep doing it over and over again, believing the lie that violence will bring peace.
Deliver us, Lord, from our addiction to war.
Very sad news.

This bus is electric!

Why not mark David Attenborough's 100th birthday by axing the Blue Planet Fund?
As ever, such a strange choice from the Labour leadership not to make more of the government’s genuinely impressive track record on clean tech when it’s delivering economic growth, creates a dividing line with the Tories and Reform, and could build bridges with voters lost to the Greens.

That would be a great result. Much fairer, good for a just transition and good for reducing inflation.
But we need to recover the tax revenue some other way - VAT on aviation fuel would more than do it.

Stunned by Green victory in Gorton, Starmer should learn the lesson by returning to his instincts on net zero, rejecting the advice of failed former advisers.

Israeli authorities plan to bar 37 NGOs from operating in Gaza and the West Bank for refusing to provide the government with lists of their staff and biodata.
Aid distribution shouldn't be political. Israel should rescind the registration requirements.
Looking forward to it

This is a really good thread.
I was an MP's researcher in the Blair years and these things were true then - but they've all grown so much since.
Good question.
Bad economics based on misunderstandings. Austerity. Poor quality politicians and constant chopping and changing. What else?
Gutted Scotland couldn't get a second World Cup win. But well played Nepal an a very tight game. Love seeing Scotland's cricketers in world cups, many more to come I hope. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Shabana Mahmood will appeal, missing the chance to blame this daft pretence that a non-violent direct action group is a terrorist group on her predecessor Yvette Cooper.
She'll probably lose.
The Palestine Action ban was unlawful, the High Court rule. Great news for democracy!
A pretty easy decision you'd think.

Not easy to ignore what Trump is doing to the US right now in terms of attacking climate polices and climate science.
But this below is the biggest and most consequential climate story in the world right now.
Period.
