Deadly heatwaves are the new reality – we need to transform the UK's cities and towns to survive them | Hannah Martin
While we work towards net zero, we also need to adapt. And we can pay for cooling measures like splash pads and trees by taxing the worst polluters, says green campaigner Hannah Martin

Trump's ICE raids are violent, unlawful & unjustifiable

Angelinos are standing up peacefully & powerfully against state abductions 💪💪

Trump is seeking to sow violence. Farage & the far right are seeking to bring his "mass deportations" agenda here too www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUhz...

Spoke to LBC news earlier about Starmer's PR stunt in Albania today. It shows that, yet again, this government is failing to grasp the complexities of trafficking, and asylum, and instead is focusing on measures which actively make things worse for everyone.

Join us on the 29th May where we'll be hearing from a fantastic panel of speakers about the material and legislative threats to trans people's lives in the UK and how movements for trans liberation are organising in response. In person but livestreamed!

The lesson from the India trade deal is that, in the face of complex trade-offs, the government will need to find compromise if it wants to deepen its economic and strategic relationships.

It's a tricky compromise but Starmer's India trade deal is a post-Brexit win
After three years of negotiation, the UK has clinched a significant post-Brexit win – a trade deal with India, the fifth largest economy in the world.

Doing the rounds of BBC local radio discussing Labour's plan to publish nationality "league tables" of foreign offenders. Put simply, there are absolutely no benefits to it, but the risks are huge. Inevitably it feeds far right narrative, leads to hostility against nationalities and embeds division.

Spent a fun hour debating climate & environment with Richard Tice from Reform last night on an LBC panel and was very happy to help set him straight on the cause of high electricity prices in the UK (spoiler alert: it's gas).

Using "league tables" to link immigration with crime isn't about safety - it's about scapegoating. It stokes fear, not facts. Our director @ravsrm.bsky.social breaks down why this dangerous rhetoric must be challenged.

Migrant crime 'league tables' will fuel scapegoating, not safety
