2025 is set to be the UK's hottest since records began.

Scientists are clear that changes to our climate are unprecedented and the result of burning fossil fuels.

The government's climate policies must be led by the science, not by climate deniers and their friends from the fossil-fuel lobby.

I had to drag the Mayor this year to even describe what's happening in Gaza as a genocide.

We were told a Labour Govenrment working with a Labour Mayor would be the game changer - but this Government is still trying to drag everyone down with it.

Few facts about the Palestine Action protesters on Hunger Strike

1. They never attacked anyone with sledgehammers (That was a different group)
2. They didn't commit aggravated burglary, they didn't attack anyone, they didn't even steal anything
3. They shouldn't be in jail

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.

Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.

No one charged for conspiracy.

Do both.

And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns.

Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.
The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

People don't understand what Neoliberalism is or that almost all politicians are Neoliberals

It's the belief the State should provide nothing, that everything should be privatised, and the taxes you pay are simply to subsidise their profits

It is how it was in the 19th century

Fiduciary duty may sound technical, but it matters hugely.

Pension schemes should not be forced to invest in fossil fuels, arms or tobacco when those investments harm health, the planet and pensioners’ long-term interests.
