The world's richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget

The UK’s richest 1% produced more carbon pollution in eight days than the poorest 50% used in a year.

We can't afford the rich - they produce corruption, poverty, environmental degradation; destroy democracy.
World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam
Richest 1% took 10 days while wealthiest 0.1% needed just three days to exhaust annual carbon budget, study shows

This government published a strategy on violence against women - but can't criticise a site undressing women as abuse & harassment

It intends its opposition to racism to be central to its re-election pitch, but seems to have a merely rhetorical stance of anti-racism

Have we entered a racism timewarp?

Why does X routinely defend the racist abuse that it has a legal duty to remove?

A binary choice: must we tolerate the use of "paki" as a racist slur in the Britain of 2025 - or will government act to Make Twitter Lawful Again?

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.

I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

In case you missed it, Nigel Farage said Reform would vote against scrapping the two-child benefit cap because some of the families who will benefit include people who are “foreign-born”.

Imagine being so racist that you would rather keep 450,000 children in poverty.

👀 Before responding to the consultation, read this thread.

Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

So after migrants meet new ILR requirements, they'll wait longer, pay more, jump through MORE hoops.

So please enjoy this shrimp, filmed off Cozumel, Mexico. It may be a larval reef shrimp, but we don’t know what species or how long it lives or what it eats. The world is still full of wonder and beauty and mystery.

From plant leaves to oceans, nature's designs remind us of life's balance.

But nature is in crisis. Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. One million animal & plant species are threatened with extinction.

In country after country, far-right populists offer easy solutions to often non-existent crises, fuelling xenophobia, jealousy, rage for votes. Once in power, they (ab)use their position, serve themselves, & keep people angry while solving nothing. Those who have not yet realised this don't want to.
