Decades of under investment have weakened our schools - and that weakens the whole country.

We need real funding & care for education now.

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital.

Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

If you can watch this very sobering summary of where we are heading & what we MUST do immediately, & still think we can burn carbon for fun, then you either weren’t listening, didn’t understand it, or you don’t care.

The rest of us will keep trying to change things.

Synthetic biology could help cut emissions - but let’s be clear: we can’t only geo-engineer our way out of the climate emergency. Engineered microbes won’t stop oil rigs, gas pipelines, or governments siding with fossil barons. Only people power can.

Engineered microbes could tackle climate change, if we ensure it's done safely
As the climate crisis accelerates, there's a desperate need to rapidly reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, both by slashing emissions and by pulling carbon out of the air.

Reject Rosebank and stop ALL new drilling.

The commitment does not prevent fields that already have a licence - like Rosebank and Cambo - from being developed.
