This is great work. But this article in particular should be raising eyebrows and a LOT of questions

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

UK falling behind EU on environmental rules amid post-Brexit rollback.

Failure to protect rare creatures, clean up air/water, remove dangerous chemicals from products, making consumer products more recyclable, energy efficient.

Taking back control? No, handing it to corporations.

1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

If Keir Starmer wants a positive relationship with the Scottish Government, he needs to get his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water.

Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

We are proud of our diverse communities who chose to make Scotland their home.

And unlike Labour, the SNP will never imitate Nigel Farage. We will confront him, and we will defeat him.

Prof. Danny Dorling writes: When UK countries and regions are compared, child poverty is now lowest in Scotland.

This wasn’t always the case. The immediate reason for this turnaround in Scotland has been the introduction of the Scottish Child Payment.

I don't often ask people to write to their MPs. But I think they might listen to you on this, as it's so jaw-droppingly awful, and they're almost certainly unaware of it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.

There must be no ethnic cleansing.

Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

No Govt has cut public spending, cut services, jobs, wages & secured economic growth.

UK PM says he will be "ruthless" in cutting public spending

People will spend less. Due to lack of good food, housing, healthcare, education many won't be able to work
