Fossil fuel firms may have to pay for climate damage under proposed UN tax
Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation could also force ultra-rich to pay global wealth tax
Big polluters are fuelling the climate crisis.
The fair tax treaty being negotiated at the UN could help make these polluters pay up for their damages, as well as change the rules to tax the super rich and end international tax dodging.

Goodwins rise up, we need to unite against the Reform Goodwin. And the only way to stop him in Gorton is backing the Greens. The only way to beat Reform full stop is the Greens! Donate! Vote! Do not let my name be defined by this false Goodwin!

People were so buzzing after Zack spoke that I genuinely signed 3 strangers around me up for this Thursday's canvassing session on the spot. Nobody else is doing it like him.

Latest polling. Only the greens can stop Reform in Gorton and Denton. Reform +12%, Greens +11%, -20% Labour
Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform.
Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday.

The Line, a Saudi Megaproject, Is Dead
It was always doomed to unravel, but the firms who lent their name to this folly should be held accountable.
โWas it not humiliating to have to pretend that Saudi sustainability goals were legitimate while the construction materials and transportation behind its projects wrested more carbon from the earth than most small countries do in a year?โ - @katewagner.wehwalt.net www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines.
What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.

If you can turn this many people out in minus 3 before term time to make plans and knock doors, you're not doing badly.
The Green surge is real, and I have a feeling it is about to hit London with a force that will surprise a lot of pundits.
