Stop illegal waste dumps! The Environment Agency must act. Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

One of the largest illegal waste dumps in the country now threatens the River Roding. A 20,000 square metre site with tens of thousands of tonnes of waste is located next to the River in Stapleford Tawney near Epping.

Please sign to demand the EA shuts down the site physically...

Meat is a leading emissions source โ€“ but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

Humans, your media are wilfully hiding a grubby little climate secret i.e. the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions are caused by meat & dairy๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿฅต

And at the same time their 'Food' sections continue to promote meat & dairy ingredients.

The average U.K household pays 39p - 50 U.S cents - a day to fund a clean, secure, domestic energy system.

This is a bargain, which would have cost even less if Andrew Neilโ€™s right wing heroes had invested North Sea oil and gas revenues instead of using them to fund tax breaks for millionaires.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโ€”because the person felt she did didnโ€™t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Labour will ensure all peers meet the high standards the public expect of them and we will introduce a new participation requirement as well as strengthening the circumstances in which disgrace members can be removed.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

Greens could join pact with Labour โ€“ but not while Starmerโ€™s in charge, Polanski says Exclusive: Zack Polanski tells The Independent that doing a deal with a Starmer-led Labour Party would โ€˜lead to a worse version of Nigel Farageโ€™

No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is.

We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform.

No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.
