Nigel Farage says he has never worked in a prison so he is unable to answer a question on prison policy. On that basis he will have no views on health, defence, culture, energy, education, farming, transport, law… or anything other than lying and grifting.

I recently wrote to the Foreign Secretary alongside over 80 Parliamentarians from 9 parties, to call for widespread sanctions on Israel, including:

▪️ Sanctions on Israel's economy

The media would have you believe that only pensioners are taking action to oppose the ban on Palestine Action. That’s false.

“This government would rather call us terrorists than confront their own complicity”

Thanks @simonoxfphys.com & @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org this is such a helpful framework.

It makes it extremely plain that 'net-zero' scepticism as practised by Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage is simply another form of #climate denial!

Hiroshima’s fading legacy: the race to secure survivors’ memories amid a new era of nuclear brinkmanship Eighty years on from the destruction of the city, registered survivors of the blast - known as hibakusha – have fallen below 100,000

Securing survivors’ memories of #Hiroshima is increasingly urgent, amid a new era of nuclear brinkmanship. The horrifying truth is that the 9 nuclear states have *already* amassed the equivalent firepower of 145.000 Hiroshima bombs. This madness has to stop

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them.
Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Adani! I don’t want to say I told you so but … Actually yes I do. I told you so! | First Dog on the Moon The Adani coal mine has been operating for three years and has paid zero corporate tax. I for one am shocked

Adani is the world's largest private coal developer and its corporate abuses are legion

The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enough—and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

Terrifying insight into a disaster waiting to happen

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Dozens of people gathered in the parking entrance of the Broadview Detention Center Facility.

A woman holds a sign reading “IMMIGRANTS NOW / CITIZENS NEXT” but “NEXT” is crossed out and edited with red marker to say “Also Now!”

At least 70 people have already showed up to protest against ICE at the Broadview Detention Facility.

This is what showing up for your community looks like. Stand for your neighbors. Abolish ICE.
