Rachel Reeves has the chance to take bold, popular action to tax polluting corporations and the super-rich.

On the eve of the Budget, campaigners and unions gathered outside Parliament to tell the Chancellor to put ordinary people and communities first, not the rich and powerful.

"The carbon level has reached 426 parts per million – well over scientists’ “safe” limit of 350. According to them, the planet is heading to oblivion. All that time news editors have told me not to be too downbeat.

This is my last column. I think the facts speak for themselves.”
As I write my last column, the facts on climate crisis speak for themselves

Today, 1pm at the UK Home Office, we go again.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had the opportunity to reverse her predecessor’s ridiculous ban on Palestine Action. She chose to double-down and further authoritarianism.

We do not comply.
History will remember your complicity.

We marked COP30 by reading aloud the words of Global South activists in the centre of Wimborne. Indigenous peoples are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, their knowledge vital for our future. Protect their rights. Listen to their voices.

Every empire falls the same way.

The "wealth pump" overflows.

A tiny elite siphon off the surplus, hollowing out the society beneath them until it cracks.

It’s happening again. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Whole lotta #greenwashing going on...
🚨 New draft 🚨

We built an LLM-enabled system to measure greenwashing scores in 1 million worldwide Facebook ads.

We found vast networks of Facebook pages sharing pro-fossil fuel messages & show that ads are targeted at left-leaning areas with fossil fuel investments.
