using government calculations for climate harm, burning Jackdaw's gas will cause an estimated £16.1 billion in global damage and over 8,000 heat-related deaths.
all of this for 27 jobs and no impact on gas prices.
no other way to describe this than an act of violence.

Jackdaw will do little to change either the cost of gas or the UK's supply situation. We were a net exporter of gas into the early 2000s but we've now been through a long period of falling production. More than half of the gas we burn now is imported. Jackdaw won't change that.

Privatisation has failed so comprehensively that the government is having to create a competitor to the National Grid. Just nationalise the energy system, build out renewables at scale, and explain this is what you mean by ending Thatcherism.

1. Most (not all) money paid out in pensions returns to the economy in spending, so it's not lost or wasted, it doesn't disappear.
2. Means-testing is expensive. I worked (years ago) in means-tested benefits - more was paid out in employing staff than in paying benefits. (2/n)

call me crazy if you will, but the argument ‘we invite paid panelists on to say factually incorrect things about disabled people & carers so those disabled people & carers listening as they struggle through their days can call & correct us for free’ is a poor argument for a show

Replacing PIP with vouchers is the first move towards introducing a US style benefits system which has caused abject poverty for millions of America's poorest. For decades governments have refused to introduce such a system because of the indignity and difficulties it creates.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

If a foreign power wiped out 160 American schoolgirls, it would be regarded as one of the biggest traumas and crimes of the post-war US.
Yet this atrocity in Iran is being treated as some unfortunate mishap.
Their lives matter, and this is an abominable crime.

Four legal models exist.
Only full decriminalisation removes criminal penalties and centres safety, health & constitutional rights.
It’s the evidence-based approach.
It’s the rights-based approach.

When it comes to feeding children who survived a brutal war in Gaza,
every excuse falls away, every justification goes silent, and duty turns into urgent action.
These children do not need skill they need a living conscience.
They are not waiting for words of sympathy, but for a meal that preserves life.
Your donation today is not a passing charity;
it is a life saved, dignity protected, and a humanitarian message that says:
Gaza is not alone.
With your support, we continue. Every donation makes a difference
