We have three vital Lords amendments coming to the Commons: brownfield-first development, protection for chalk streams, and stopping “pay-to-pollute” deals.

Please lobby your MP — especially Labour MPs — and urge them to back all three.

More Patriot systems have been delivered by Germany to intercept incoming Russian air attacks.

These are critical to our security, and make a massive difference in our ability to defend our cities and people.

Ukraine has destroyed 48% of Russia’s Pantsir air defense systems since the start of the year, according to SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk. Despite producing around 30 per year, Russia is losing them faster than it can replace them.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...

'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Russian Telegram channels post about a total gas collapse at the M12 Moskva Kazan highway.

The woman filming says gas stations are spaced about 150 km apart, and there are hundreds of vehicles in line to each of them. She said about 130 cars are ahead of theirs in the line.

Supporters of new gas power stations with carbon capture argue that the Climate Change Committee says we need them.

But here's the CCC Chair saying it's a bad idea. New science shows they'll drive more imports of LNG which has huge upstream emissions along its international supply chain. #CCS
