Great Britain has run on 100% clean power for record 87 hours in 2025 so far Clean-energy sources have powered Great Britain entirely for a record 87 hours this year — a milestone toward 2030 targets

Clean energy has powered Great Britain entirely for a record 87 hours so far in 2025 – up from just 2.5 hours in 2021.

Progress is accelerating, but the country still has a long way to go before reaching 100 % clean power by 2030.

University leaders aren’t offering any compromises so our strike continues. If you want help/show solidarity you can contribute to our fighting fund (we’re each going to lose 3-5 weeks pay & being threatened with 50% pay deduction for action short of strike): www.uculeicester.org.uk/leicester-uc...

Before Brexit, the EU was tightening rules on offshore tax havens, a threat to the U.K.’s web of secrecy jurisdictions.
For Brexit backers like Boris and Farage, migrants were the distraction. It was about shielding fortunes from EU transparency laws.
Money was the motive.

Former SNP MSP John Mason has just compared pro-Palestine protests to Orange Order marches.

So let's just set the record straight for John... Palestinian rallies aren't stirring up hate or bigotry; they are calling for peace and an end to genocide.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

A Message to the Police (British) State

News of a Crown Prosecution Service Appeal against the ruling of their own judge is unsurprising.

He ruled the charge was ‘unlawful and null’ and it was.

It is unsurprising because this whole process has not been driven by the police or the courts, it has been driven by politicans backed up by British media. This is political policing.

There is no ‘important point of law’. The CPS have submitted nothing new in their appeal. What there is though, is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.

The media were gleefully informed about this appeal before we were.

😠

Once again this is a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time.

Once again there are endless news reports about Mo Chara, about Kneecap but we are NOT the story.

Yesterday 104 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza and hundreds more maimed as Israel commits genocide.

Entire families wiped out, people bombed to pieces as they slept, young kids with limbs blown off and no medicai­ne to treat them.

This is aided and supported by the British State.

We will fight you in your court again. We will win again.

FREE PALESTINE / TIOCHFAIDH ÁR LÁ

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

This is Shuranjeet Singh, standing in the allotment at St Michael's C of E Primary School in Handsworth, Birmingham, where he is a governor. I'm sure that Robert Jenrick can immediately tell by looking at him that he's working tirelessly on integration. IIRC, he has a Masters from Oxford.

Anti-genocide protests are most definitely very “British” there is no logical reason for the jewish community in the uk to feel threatened by people protesting against a genocide. Britons of any faith are not the Israeli govt.

What you are seeing is a co-ordinated effort by every single member of the Billionaire Media across the Western World, trying to get you to blame immigrants, so you don't blame billionaires.

Don't be fooled.
