'For Land: Capital as extinction' by Prolekult films is quite literally a tour de force and one of the most important #ecosocialist and #Marxist insights on the climate and environment crises. There's loads more behind the pay wall too incl. an interview with Jason Moore.

🚨 Britain’s largest union should be run by our members, for our members. That’s why I’m putting myself forward to be UNISON’s next General Secretary.

I’ve written about the recent Labour budget and what it might mean for an agricultural green transition.

Farm inheritance tax: farmers cannot go green if they are in the red

Remember, you are not here to argue, be smart and don't feed the trolls. They want you to spend your energy and time on them.

It is #DisabledHistoryMonth and if you have time to do just one thing to recognise and participate in it, you *have* to watch Prolekult's film 'Against Segregation: Approaching the British Disabled Peoples' Movement'

It is the best kind of #Marxism: educating and moving.

You can send my mate a picture of a beige wall, with half a photo of a street scene and some brass furnishings and ask him, "Where am I?" And he will, more or less everytime, tell you which pub in Birmingham you're sitting in. It's a superpower but also v worrying. Truly.

80% of trans workers have experienced bullying, harassment or discrimination at work in the last five years.

Unions, reps and members have an essential role fighting all forms of discrimination, including transphobia.

Our movement is built on solidarity among workers: we are stronger together.

Interesting chart from the IEA on how employment in the energy sector has changed since Covid.

China has added 2 million clean energy jobs. In all regions except North America, more clean energy jobs are being added than are lost in fossil fuels.
