Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?
You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

Ahead of the UK growth report, we have “tentative signs” that the housing market in England and Wales is recovering from a months-long slowdown.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said its members were feeling more optimistic about the year ahead than at any time since December 2024, as inquiries from new buyers, agreed sales and house prices became less negative in January.
