“Britain has had as many 30C days this year as in 1976, the Met Office has said.” Facts are stubborn things, even for one of the UK's leading spreaders of climate disinformation.

Rosebank and Jackdaw will be a critical, early test of how committed Andy Burnham is to tackling the deepening climate emergency. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“New drilling will do little for energy security. Without a rapid shift to the abundant renewable energy we have, and help to households to shift away from their reliance on fossil fuels, the UK will become ever more reliant on imported gas.

“The government should ignore the special pleading of companies that have got very rich while households faced soaring energy bills and workers saw declining conditions and security. Instead, it should invest in industries with a future, like wind manufacturing, that can provide good jobs for generations of workers.”

- Robert Palmer, the deputy director of Uplift, which campaigns against North Sea drilling

In 2025 McDonald's were forced to scrap its plans to build a drive-thru in Stirchley when local residents fought back, defending Stirchley’s independent vibe & opposing increased congestion, pollution, litter & noise. Now the clown is trying it's luck again. mcdonaldsconsultation.co.uk/stirchley/

Protesters gathering in Stirchley to oppose McDonalds last year, carrying home-made banners and listening to speeches.

This protest was part of a ‘down with the Clown’ campaign. The campaign succeeded in stopping the restaurant.

The new normal? UK records its hottest June day and France its hottest day ever as heatwave sweeps Europe. Temperature of 36.1C (97F) recorded in Hampshire, while two-thirds of Europe’s population experience temperatures above 30C www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The new normal?" poses the Guardian on its front page, imprinted over a heat map graphic of Western Europe and the UK. As "extreme heat sweeps the continent", the paper reports, "UK registers hottest ever June day", "France breaks record heat again" and "extremes driven by climate crisis".

Or maybe one of the problems we’ve got as a country is that there are always people like Madeleine Moon who are prepared to stare down a lens in a TV studio and explain to the rest of us that we can’t have nice things anymore because more money is needed for weapons of war. #anotherworldispossible

Nakba 78 March for Palestine / United Against Tommy Robinson march on Saturday 16 May. Statement from the event organisers.

The right to protest is a fundamental freedom

In the wake of the horrific antisemitic attack in Golders Green, politicians and the media have rushed to falsely characterise the marches for Palestine and to call for them to be suppressed. These calls dangerously conflate Jewish people with the state of Israel and peaceful political protest with unconnected violent acts. We utterly reject both.

On Saturday 16 May we will march in London for the annual commemoration of the Nakba - the catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinians by Israel since 1948. We will march in opposition to the British government's complicity in Israel's well-documented ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide.

This year, we will also march against Tommy Robinson and his far-right supporters mobilising on the same day. The organisers of the demonstration are fascists, racists and islamophobes who have espoused the antisemitic great replacement theory.

As always, our march will involve thousands of Jewish people - many of them proudly displaying their Jewish identity - as part of the Jewish Bloc, as organisers and platform speakers. By bringing together people from all backgrounds and walks of life, we will reaffirm opposition to all forms of racism including anti-Palestinian racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The right to protest is a fundamental democratic freedom that must be protected. We call on all those who believe in the universal principles of freedom, justice and equality to join us at 12 noon on Exhibition Road on Saturday 16 May.

Oil and gas companies will make $234bn by the end of the year if the oil price continues to average $100. The excess profits come from the pockets of ordinary people as they pay high prices to fill up their vehicles and power their homes, as well as from businesses' higher energy bills.

War windfall: big oil makes extra $30m every hour during conflict

"there must be no impunity for these criminal acts"

Screenshot of a post on X from Pedro Sanchez, Prime Minister of Spain.

Just today, Netanyahu launches his harshest attack against Lebanon since the offensive began.

His contempt for life and international law is intolerable.

It's time to speak clearly:

- Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire.

- The international community must condemn this new violation of international law.

- The European Union must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel.

- And there must be no impunity for these criminal acts.

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What explains this epidemic of idiocy? It’s simple. What the owners of newspapers and politicians want is what their entire class demands: a world in which resources are controlled and prices harvested by those who own them. You can do this with fossil fuels, whose reserves are concentrated and under the exclusive control of the companies licensed to exploit them. You cannot do it with renewables, because sunshine and wind are everywhere.
