Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

1/2. "Beyond firefighting capacity".
In the eastern province of Castellón, authorities say a wildfire has grown beyond firefighting capacity, with around 15,000 people evacuated as flames spread across a 21km perimeter.
Elsewhere, around 91,000 people have either been evacuated or told to stay indoors across the Madrid region, the province of Ávila and parts of Toledo.
The fires have burned or damaged around 45,000 hectares of land as Spain faces severe wildfire conditions.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

We are in Belém, Brazil as COP30 gets underway.

This is what happens when you outsource your policy programme to the Tony Blair Institute, corporates & tech billionaires.
Any trade unions, civil society orgs and campaign groups opposing this dystopian mess - count me in.
The revelations in this article are shocking and unacceptable.
From Mandelson in Washington to Blair’s TBI writing NHS data policy with Oracle’s billions, to corporate lobbyists sitting on departmental boards - we are watching a state quietly repurposed to a degree not seen under any previous Labour govt - to serve the boardroom, not the public.
This is a political culture where dissent is pathologised, ideas policed, policy pre-cooked by private interests and presented as “inevitable.”
In this hollowing-out of govt, we face the danger of a politics so cowed by vested interests that it cannot stand up to them. And when that happens, it is the authoritarian right who reap the rewards.
People aren’t fooled. They can feel the country is being run for “them” not “us.” And unless Labour changes course - embracing pluralism, democracy and genuine debate - it will deliver power straight into Farage and Trump’s waiting hands.
Perhaps we’re in need of a bit of ‘Manchesterism’ - a different way of doing govt and one not afraid of giving control of public services to the very people that use and run them; Us!

Two years ago, The New Statesman named Roger one of the UK’s most influential progressives. A year later, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison—the longest ever for nonviolent action—for a short Zoom speech on civil disobedience.
Now out on licence, Roger returns with On Being, In Prison—an unflinching talk on what prison taught him about being: from brutal materialism (“it is what it is”), to postmodern denial (“you just can’t say”), to the mystery of God (“glory be”).
In a world unravelling, Roger argues that unlearning how we see ourselves & reality will be our greatest political, cultural & spiritual task. Only in the face of terror can we find the courage to remake the world.

We are flying the Palestinian flag outside our headquarters to show solidarity with Palestine. The council claims we need planning permission. We’ve written to the council to explain why they’re wrong and we’d also like to establish that for the benefit of others. We will not be removing the flag or applying for planning permission.

“What about Edinburgh council, the f****** slags. The amount of money we’re going to bring in, 1 billion pound we’re gonna bring in at this city over the next 3 days, 1 f****** billion pound which you’ll probably see fuck all of, because they’ll bring it in and split it between their posh, ugly f****** mates. Anyways, we’re still waiting for that f****** apology.”

I’ve just finished marching on the Palestine demonstration & have come to Parliament Square where people are being arrested for peacefully protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action. It’s a disgrace that people are being arrested for upholding our democratic rights.
