Peatlands cover just 3–4% of Earth's land, yet they store twice the carbon of all the world's forests combined. Protecting peatlands is rated an Emergency Brake climate solution, one of the fastest-acting tools we have.

Keir Starmer Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, had watched the smoke rising from Westminster with more interest than most. Despite this veteran French politician spending most of his time trying to agree a deal with the Conservative government, he also held talks with the Labour Party, writing in his diary in 2018 that Starmer was without doubt the figure in Labour's hierarchy who impresses me the most for his ability to grasp in detail what is at stake in the Brexit negotiations'. He added: "Listening to him, I get the feeling that Keir Starmer will one day be UK prime minister? 'Starmer is clever, says Barnier. What I saw over those years was how he was always learning. He improved, day after day, year after year. At the beginning he was wise enough to stay close to Corbyn and, while everyone else made mistakes, he was careful. From the first time we met, I thought there was something about him."

Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator’s astute assessment of Keir Starmer.

This is why the right and their client media target him — he's clever, and a threat to them and their agenda.

‘Damage our reputation with the US’

wtaf?

Zack Polanski is interested in one thing: Zack Polanski.

A student politician.

I see Zack Polanski is back to his disingenuous, dishonest point scoring.
I think that Zack will discover that most of the public believe that Starmer's approach is the correct one. Starmer has said the attack is illegal, albeit very diplomatically but he has done so.

It’s not just the right wing who attack Labour the left are just as bad

Good to see Rachel Reeves getting out ahead of the right wing prepared attack lines:

- "Shouldn't she have thought about <insert crisis> weeks ago?!"

The malignant, right wing mind virus is entirely predictable - the gov need to get ahead of it and shut it down at source (every time).

An interesting insight into Keir Starmer by Michel Barnier, Chief Brexit negotiator for the EU. Written in his book, several years ago. It looks like the UK has got the right man as Prime Minister. Bravo!. 👍👏

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against.

Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Hopefully if they want to join the Greens they will resign and stand for re election as a Green.
That’s if they believe in democracy

You don’t think Polanski is driven by ambition?

Strangely you don't hear this from polanskis tankie greens

Every system has greedy portion people - need structures which prevent greed and dishonesty

Shame on them

Today Labour have launched their social cohsion action plan, called Protecting What Matters, setting out the first steps towards a more connected, cohesive and resilient United Kingdom.

The action plan follows decades of rapid change - technological advancements, demographic change...

Of course she is

Contrary to what people will tell you the US has now spent about $45bn on their war against Iran.

Could have housed every single homeless person in the USA.

But there are no vast profits from that.

Any comment from the Green Party ?

Our PM right. Again.

Middle East Update Oral Statement Statement to update the House on the Middle East.

The full speech from the Defence Secretary can now be read here.

The Tories are in no position to complain about lack of ships today. The Type 45 destroyers like Dragon were approved in 2000 and 2002 and delivered from 2009 to 2013.

If they wanted more, they could have commissioned them. Instead they cut military funding and decommissioned ships.

Another day, another Tory frontbencher grandstanding and point scoring rather than showing national unity during this crisis.

Shame on James Cartlidge, especially for being tone deaf on the impact of Tory cuts to the military.

Labour are spending more on defence than we've seen for decades.

Tories are just negative about everything.

Oppose everything.

Complain about everything.

Pretend they are not responsible for all the failings they caysed from their 14 years in government.

They have short memories & think we do too.

But Communities Secretary put them straight!

I should add, I believe this announcement is part of the government's wider 'Social Cohesion Action Plan' that is being launched today.

Labour are planning new powers to tackle extremism and support legitimate charities.

It includes plans to strengthen the Charity Commission so they can close down 'charities' which promote extremism and speed up investigations into charities suspected of engaging in extremist behaviour.

Good.

They aren’t allowing them to take off to participate in a war - defensive only
