Today a group of health experts call on Starmer & Streeting to “urgently pause any plans to strike a deal with the pharma industry that involves increasing the amount the NHS spends on medicines”
Plans could cost the NHS £6bn a year and cost thousands of lives. 1/2

While the fossil fuel corporations and the petrostates hold up the action we desperately need at #cop30, down the road, the peoples’ summit is underway. Only people power will save us from climate catastrophe.

So well put. I was inside yesterday when the security made us feel like we were under attack from terrorists. But who are the ones committing real violence? Many are here inside #COP30 - governments & corporations laying waste to the Amazon and destroying the wider world.

We need to stop assuming the resource grab of critical minerals is about urgent climate action. Too often this exploitation is in fact about driving forward the unsustainable & unjust economic model which created climate change.
Great to hear UN expert Elisa Morgera at #cop30

Great event on the evils of the war on drugs to people, global south sovereignty and the climate, at the Colombia pavilion now. This is much ignored at COP30, thanks @healthpoverty.bsky.social for bringing it here.

The main demand from movements at COP30 is for a just transition. The climate transition must be an economic transformation that undermines inequality, neocolonialism & injustice.

We’ll be at COP30 next week working with the Colombian government, TNI WarOnWant, Seatini & E3G to demand an end to ISDS. Corporate courts are a major obstacle to climate action. UNFCCC should help countries exit.

Make sure you see this soon. It’s great. Don’t let our leaders erase the history of Palestinian struggle for liberation.

Extraordinary. A Labour government is now demanding we include a climate-wrecking, democracy-defying corporate court system in our trade deal with the Gulf.
Given most companies don’t even care about it, this is virtue signalling to the most irresponsible capitalists.

We need to stop viewing the slide into fascism as inevitable. And the way to avoid it isn’t to steal Reform’s clothes. Offer people a real alternative.
Well done @plaidcymru.bsky.social

Completely illegal. But not even Israel’s only war crime today. At least 9 civilians also murdered. Today’s actions alone should trigger sanctions. This is the peace of the genocidaires.

It was painful to read most of the British media’s Orwellian reporting of the ‘ceasefire’ yesterday. Their contempt for Palestinian life means you would have no idea that a genocide has been taking place. The @scotnational.bsky.social is an exception. Thank you.

Starmer has given this fascist a boost - yet again - this week. He’s whitewashed his politics and his crimes, and bowed down to the oligarchs
But the people have shown solidarity with those Americans who are resisting. Never give up. Together we will stop Trump & fight facism

‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’
