Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre Lib Dems urge watchdogs to warn fuel giants that they could be on the hook for hefty fines 'if they are found to be ripping off consumers'

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre.

Opportunistic profiteering

Companies quick to increase prices, slow to bring them down.

Govt must act. Also clawback excess profits through windfall taxes.

It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called ‘patriots’ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love

Experts warn that climate impacts are hitting us harder and sooner than expected.

Some impacts are 25 years ahead of predictions.

UK climate targets set up to 15 years ago, and based around 2050, are not up to the job.

It's time to brief the nation.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Who voted for this?

Water companies dump sewage in rivers. Execs get bonuses for destructive practices. Shareholders got £85.2bn in dividends.

6.17m people in England await 7.29m hospital appointments. 300,000 a year die prematurely.

Policies made to appease corporations and super rich.

Three people smiling at the camera in a primary school

Loved visiting Edith Neville Primary School!

Almost a third of Londoners consider the city to be an unsuitable place to raise children.

We need steps taken towards making our cities child friendly & tackling affordability.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

💷 Amy McDonnell—Zero Hour Co-Director—responding to the Government's decision to cut international funding to protect climate and nature: “If they recognise ecosystem collapse is a national security threat, why cut the very funding that helps prevent it?”

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

An infographic from EveryDoctor on a dark blue background. The headline reads, "£523 Million Extracted. £565 Million in Repairs Needed." Below the NHS logo, two hospital icons are shown. The left icon is labeled "£523m Private Investor profits" with an arrow pointing away from the hospital. The right icon is labeled "£565m Urgent Repairs Needed" with an arrow pointing toward the hospital. A footer at the bottom states, "Private investors earned almost as much as trusts need for urgent repairs"

🚨 NEW REPORT: While hospital walls crumble, private investors are cashing in.

💷 £523M extracted in profits.
💷 £565M needed for urgent repairs.

They're prioritising shareholders over the safety of our NHS buildings. It’s time to see the full picture.

Tell the ECB to scrap their blanket ban on trans women It didn’t take them long. After years of welcoming trans people into cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) rushed through a ban on trans women playing women’s cricket just two weeks after...

Let’s show the ECB how many people want the amateur sport to stay inclusive. Together, we can keep transphobia out of cricket goodlaw.social/525376

HOPE WINS @greenpartyhan.bsky.social

People-power has sailed the Greens to victory. This is proof that when we get organised, we win.

A vision of a world where everyone can thrive is more powerful than the far right’s hatred and division.

And far more popular.
