The answer to our political funding crisis is simple and obvious. It would send our politics in the opposite direction to its current, disastrous trajectory. So why won't Labour MPs pick it up?

Political donations are poison to our democracy – but there’s an easy antidote to that | George Monbiot
As revelations about Reform UK’s donors emerge, it’s clear that increasingly complex forms of patronage can’t be regulated effectively. We need a clean sweep, says columnist George Monbiot

In 1939, Hitler used exactly the same arguments to deny #Poland and #Czechoslovakia the right to exist. In 1991, the people of #Ukraine voted in a referendum by a clear majority (across all regions, and by a narrow margin in the #Crimea too) in favour of independence!

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

If you privatise the profits from fossil fuels, you can’t keep socialising the costs of the damage.
Those who’ve profited should pay their fair share of the impacts.
That’s why Spain’s push for an EU oil and gas tax to help fund climate adaptation is worth supporting.
