Love this from Russell Tovey.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse.

🙋We asked its customers what should happen next.

54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector.

Read the full results here.
New polling: majority of Thames Water customers want Ofwat to reject creditors’ proposal for the utility

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice | George Monbiot
Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about ‘splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists."

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...”

You won't find more crucial reading than this.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
