£16 billion straight down the toilet. Yes, £16 BILLION. Think of what else we could do with the astonishing costs of the Lower Thames Crossing, which will simply worsen congestion and ruin people's quality of life. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong. This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

Note that he has removed his numbers so can’t be identified. Hundreds of police officers who were there that day perjured themselves under oath and not a single one was prosecuted when the case against the miners collapsed. There is a pressing need for a full public inquiry.

Keir Starmer endorses an attack which his own Attorney General has advised may be illegal

submitted 4 days ago • 195 comments

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Today’s war in Iran, started by America, can be traced to the 1953 war in Iran, also started by America. Back then America wanted oil. Mostly for their motorists. And with the Straits of Hormuz soon to be blocked, oil prices will rise and rise. Nativist imperialism is nothing if not stupid.

This is fantastic news for Swansea, and communities across South Wales. Anti-Net-Zero ideologues will tell you green industries are the problem. They’re wrong. Wales has a proud past working the pits, but our jobs of the future are in the sun and on the sea. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Turns out that the Tories can't build a railway. I wouldn't trust them to run a bath. HS2 still needs building to Manchester and ideally Leeds to get the best value out of the billions the Tories have made it cost. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

45°C in the UK isn’t a disaster film - it’s a Met Office warning. This is what decades of fossil fuel lobbying, political cowardice & climate delay has led us to. This is why we urgently need a bolder Green Party - a party for the people and the planet. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
