It would be outrageous climate vandalism for the Labour government to let Rosebank go ahead.

This proposal would do nothing to lower the amount we are forking out to heat their homes.

BREAKING🚨: @Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank.

In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.

Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.

This coming down is good.

It was transphobic nonsense which put trans people into a liminal third category which is a breach of international law…

…as the new statutory guidance almost certainly does too. So we fight that too.

This is a stepping stone towards a more equal future:

Absolutely! The EHRC is really floundering right now, and Bridget Phillipson (so we hear) is getting increasingly annoyed at them.

What better time than now to write (using our easy-peasy tool) and pressure Phillipson to reject the EHRC’s segregationist Code 🤗📝🤗

I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights

I simply can't vote for a party who's DFM doesn't believe I should have the same rights as her. And the fact Swinney put her in that position means I won't be voting for SNP until they have leadership in place that acknowledges my existence. Struggling to see change.

The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families.

And a moment of relief for the entire world.

It means that a page can be turned. A new chapter can begin.

Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye.
