Government must stop hiding the inconvenient truth on our environment I am an environmental campaigner and formerly an award-winning environment correspondent. I'm bringing this case to win greater transparency on vital environmental issues.

The government is breaking the law by concealing vital information which would help solve our biggest environmental problems

Really important legal case from my friend and former colleague Ben Webster

Do support if you can!

The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed to ship traffic because of Iran's attacks. Every Iranian attack is a negotiation. Iran knows it has leverage and is trying to end this war on favorable terms. Only way out is for the US to make concessions...

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

Student loans inquiry to look at whether system is 'unfair' The Treasury Committee will look at whether

MPs to investigate student loan system.

Student loan debt in England is £267bn, expected to hit £500bn by 2040.

Govt transferred public debt to households, real rates of interest, low repayment threshold, lives blighted.

No Uni tuition fees in most of Europe or Scotland.

But how absurd that a claim that's refuted by the claimant's own video costs £146k to dispose of.

And - worst than absurd - anyone who couldn't afford £146k would have had to give up. That's what our libel laws do to freedom of speech.

WIN: High Court throws out £8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an ‘oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Renfer: the document I filed was intended to be a draft. Once I came back from my vacation I did the final document.

"Woman with Black Hat" from Egon Schiele's collection features a striking figure dressed in dark, flowing garments and a large, expressive hat, exemplifying Schiele's distinctive style of blending bold lines with rich color. The piece captures an intense and somewhat introspective posture, reflecting Schiele's interest in psychological complexity and individual expression.

This is the group outside. You think they're looking up at the hospital. Nope. They're looking up at two more on the roof. 😲
