Shifting the narrative on the climate crisis
The climate emergency and global systemic racism are indelibly linked, as a new parliamentary report researched and funded by the Runnymede Trust makes clear. Understanding this connection is vital if we are to create climate policies that actually work, writes Nannette Youssef.

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made…
Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators.
TERF Island needs to die.

Oil giant Shell has been extracting profits from Nigeria for 80 years while destroying its environment — but people in the Niger Delta are standing up against it.
The Ogale and Billie communities are taking Shell to court to demand it cleans up its pollution & provides compensation🧵

Don't believe the hype
Immigration is not a bottom up "legitimate" concern the political elite is pressured to respond to by "the people"
It's an elite construction forced onto the people through agenda setting and mediation

![When this accusation was put to Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, on Sky News this morning, he replied:

Our new report shows the role politicians and the media play in fuelling the racist violence we saw six months ago.
