๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Political opposition to the UKโ€™s biggest undeveloped oil field is broad, and it is growing.

Over 60 cross-party MPs and MSPs have now signed our pledge to oppose the Rosebank oil field and support a just transition.

Is your MP/MSP one of them?

๐Ÿ  At last! ๐Ÿ 
It has been clear for months that Dundee is in a #HousingEmergency.
In January, I lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament recognising this fact and the community-led Action Plan developed by the Dundee Housing Emergency Coalition.
The Council must act. Now!

Gorton and Denton was Labour's death rattle, thanks to Starmer By offering nothing more than 'not Corbyn' Starmer has made sure that Labour is no longer the default party for leftists

Hannah Spencer just turned a safe Labour seat into flourishing Green turf. Voters preferred a working class woman who believes in rent controls, public ownership, and not boiling the planet over a suit-wearing focus-group zombie

Britain is aiding Israelโ€™s nuclear force UK companies have sold ยฃ9m worth of technology for Israelโ€™s submarines, which are believed to house nuclear weapons.

The UK says Iran must โ€œneverโ€ acquire nuclear weapons.

But Britain helped Israel develop nuclear arms several decades ago and in effect supports its nuclear force now by supplying equipment for its submarines.

UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel Britainโ€™s obedient defence correspondents are refusing to report a story of clear public interest in the middle of a genocide.

Due to drone attacks by Iran, UK media are now covering RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, from where the RAF conducted over 600 spy flights for Israel during its genocide.

Analysis last year by Prof Des Freedman found no MSM investigations into Akrotiri.

Calling out authoritarian behaviour is not something new for the Green Party. We have always defended human rights โ€” from Tibet to Hong Kong to the US.

We will continue to stand up for the rule of law, at home and across the world.

Baroness Sally Morgan, Chair of the Labour Together board, said:                                                                                                                                            
"The board of Labour Together has waited until the conclusion of the inquiry by Sir Laurie Magnus, the Prime Minister's Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests, before making a public statement."

"Over the past couple of weeks, the board and chief executive have been carefully reviewing all relevant material. The scope of the work carried out by APCO, commissioned by the then Director of Labour Together, was indefensible. The board was not shown the contract with APCO. Nor was the APCO report shared with the board."

"I took over as Chair of the board in September 2024, and since that time, we have instituted several improvements to our operations following a governance review. Much has already changed, including establishing an Audit & Risk committee, a Whistleblower policy and fostering a more open and accountable culture. But we must do more. We are committed to operating at the highest standards of integrity and transparency at all times, and a forthcoming external audit will examine further possible improvements."

"Three months ago, Alison Phillips was appointed as our new CEO, and I am delighted to have her leading us as we look to the future. Alison has already begun a radical reshaping of Labour Together to ensure it makes a clean break from the past while continuing to support Labour in power. We are determined to ensure we have an organisation which reaches out across the party with a broad base of engagement and support."

"We are committed to supporting Labour in the run-up to the next General Election. Our mission is to help Labour deliver for the people of Britain and to develop a compelling and winning Labour programme for the next decade."

Keir Starmer is giving the US permission to bomb Iran from Britain while retaining secrecy over the precise US military presence in the UK.

We believe these are the key US military/Intel sites in Britain, which include major air bases and smaller sites.

Starmer says his approval for the US to use British bases to bomb Iran is โ€œpermitted under international lawโ€ as โ€œacting in the collective self-defence of regional alliesโ€.

He condemns Iranโ€™s retaliatory strikes but not the US/Israeli bombing of Iran.
