As Trump betrays people and the planet, I’m headed next week to the U.N.’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

I’ll be joining our international partners to strengthen California’s climate commitments and showcase how our climate action is creating more jobs, cleaner air, and lower costs.

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
 
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.

We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

Georgia wants to be in the European Union, not under Russia's yoke.

This is a very touching piece, written by an incredibly brave journalist who is in prison for actively resisting arrest. Do read, she more than deserves our attention.

Why would anyone vote for Reform?

Why, in particular, would anyone vote for Reform when Nigel Farage is promising big benefit cuts in this country?

Why, in other words, would people want to vote to make life worse for millions of the worst off in this country?

I've made a complaint about this.

You may think it's not worth the effort & no, this won't change things overnight

But the BBC has to record all complaints & these stats feed into things like the Annual Report. Let's show up in their stats!
#R4Today has just let Justin Webb defame BlueSky users by stating that Kirk's death is being celebrated 'on platforms like BlueSky '

This is not impartial, nor evidence based.

Another moron, only there cos the serious journalists left.

Trump's hypocrisy is at full mast after Kirk's murder.

He completely ignored the assassination of the Hortmanns and the attempted murder of the Hoffmans.

📍Near Reform’s party conference in Birmingham

No politician should be trying to send torture survivors back to their torturers. Least of all the Taliban.

For centuries, Britain has protected people fleeing torture. Sending people back to their torturers is NOT who we are as a country.

This doesn’t end here - unless we ensure it stops. We must raise our voices against this demonisation.
