Today's #SpringStatement was a complacent flop.
🏫Schools & hospitals collapsing
💰Extreme wealth off the charts
💸Corporations dodging billions in tax
🌏Climate finance being slashed
Yet Chancellor Rachel Reeves claims the UK government has "the right economic plan." 🤔

Last week, 115 girls aged 7-12 were killed when bombs fell at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran.
Escalation is a political choice – the UK government must uphold international law and push for peace.
International law is meant to stop moments like this: illegal and unprovoked US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Our international laws were written in the aftermath of WWII by people who understood that international law exists to protect people.

‼️Israel is trying to claim large areas of the occupied West Bank as “state property” if Palestinians cannot prove their ownership – which after decades of Israeli occupation is almost impossible.
Take action to stop Israel stealing more Palestinian land⬇️

Protecting rainforests means supporting the people who live there.

MONLAR has set up eight demonstration farms where farmers test ecological farming methods in real conditions.
Farmers are also now developing new income streams through community-based tourism, while communities are monitoring rainforest areas and reporting illegal activity like clearing & mining.
So far, 786 households across four districts have been trained to combine tea growing with other crops, shrubs and trees, reduce agrochemical use, and revive traditional rice varieties.
This helps reduce dependence on tea and cuts chemical runoff into rainforest areas.
Together with the Movement for Land and Agricultural Reform, War on Want is supporting farmers to earn a living in ways that protect the rainforest.

Sri Lanka is losing its rainforests – but communities are fighting to protect them.
Many farmers living near the rainforests depend on tea for their income. Yet tea plantation expansion and activities like firewood use in tea processing are contributing to forest loss.🧵
After committing genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip with impunity, Israel thinks it can annex the West Bank without being held to account.
The UK government must stand by its word & take action to end Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. secure.waronwant.org/page/187131/...
In October 2025, Israel advanced a new bill calling for the formal annexation of the West Bank.
In February 2026, Israel approved plans to claim large areas of the occupied West Bank as Israel’s “state property” if Palestinians cannot prove ownership – which is almost impossible.
‼️Israel is accelerating its annexation of the West Bank – illegally incorporating more of the Palestinian territory it occupies into the state of Israel.
The UK has opposed “any form of annexation” – now it must hold Israel to account.

Rosebank – the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field – won’t lower energy bills or create secure jobs.
It will delay the transition to clean, affordable energy & funnel profits to fossil fuel corporations.
The UK government could approve it any day. Take action✍️:

Rosebank oil field is expected to send over £200 million to the Delek Group – the majority shareholder in Rosebank and one of Israel’s biggest oil companies.
There's still time for the UK government to #StopRosebank.

Cuba has the right to determine its own political, economic and social systems, free from external interference and threats.
Call on the UK government to oppose US threats against Cuba:
cuba-solidarity.org.uk/peace-and-so... @cubasolidarity.bsky.social
We stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba – and Venezuela.
We condemn US imperialism, sanctions and military aggression that harm people and planet, and undermine progressive movements in the region.
Ordinary Cubans are paying the price: widespread blackouts, fuel scarcity affecting hospitals, transport and water systems, and a deepening humanitarian crisis fuelled by the US’s blockade.

After a 64-year blockade, US President Donald Trump is seeking regime change in Cuba.
Like the US attack on Venezuela, this is part of a pattern of US military aggression in Latin America to secure US dominance under the guise of ’security’.

Rosebank – the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field – would produce more emissions than the 28 lowest-income countries combined.
The UK government could make a decision to approve it any time before spring.

❗️The UK high court has ruled that the UK government's ban on Palestine Action is unlawful.
The right to protest is a fundamental human right - and the law agrees.
The UK should be acting to end Israel’s genocide, not targeting those protesting it.

Any extraction of minerals must be fair – putting people and planet first. 🌎
Trade deals should work for the countries where minerals are mined (especially in the Global South), and powerful countries the US must be held to account.
This must be understood in the context of a broader US push for critical minerals.
At a recent US-led summit involving 50 countries, the US proposed a new critical-mineral trading bloc aimed at challenging China’s dominance in rare-earth mining.

But it’s not Cornwall’s lithium that has drawn US interest – but tin.
The South Crofty mine could receive $225m (£166m) from the US government as it seeks to secure access to tin, which it considers a critical mineral.
Cornwall is hoping to be a pioneer in lithium mining.
Lithium – often called ‘white gold’ – is used in rechargeable batteries. Lithium mining in Cornwall is being promoted as a source of new jobs and a way to help the UK’s transition to renewable energy.

Why is US President Donald Trump eyeing Greenland, Ukraine – and now Cornwall? 👀
It’s all part of a global scramble for critical minerals – materials that power data centres, smartphones, advanced weapons systems and clean energy technologies.

“Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing”.
- Wes Streeting, UK Health Secretary
A UK government minister has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes - so why is the UK government refusing to act?
