Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.

The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.

Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.
NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

"The row that has engulfed the BBC.. over allegations of bias is a self-incurred catastrophe for the organisation which has been a long time coming.

It stems from a gradually growing confusion between journalism, which can include expressions of opinion... and reporting"

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.

Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

Every single time Labour behave more like Reform, it helps Reform.

They will have plenty of time to reflect on their car crash level stupidity after they've been obliterated at the 2029 GE.

Unfortunately, all the rest of us will be left facing the consequences.

Sensible Europeans will be rooting for Orban’s ouster with a Péter Magyar/Tisza victory in Spring 2026. The ejection of Putin’s stooge and Trump’s rim-lick is long overdue. Unlike the Toad, Magyar/Tisza pledge to reaffirm commitment to the #EU, #NATO & declare Russia an aggressor.
