Meat industry lobbyists mirroring smoking and big oil lobbyists, and with similar success...

As with smoking though, the truth will out eventually, and change will come.

Today we delivered over 724,000 petition signatures to the Treasury, demanding the govt tax the super rich at the next budget.

We were joined by millionaires who are happy to pay & here to stay, by public service workers and by a huge collection of civil society organisations.

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.

UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours

No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)

UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)

Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.

The fossil fuel industry is extending its reach around the world, despite global commitments by world leaders to move away from coal, oil and gas.🌍⚠️

In their latest report, #ExtractionExtinction, @amnesty.org expose how the fossil fuel infrastructure is expanding at the expense of human rights.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.
