If you would like to add your voice to tens of thousands of people thanking RNLI volunteers for their work, 38 Degrees have organised this open letter to express public support (at a time when a hateful fringe have been intimidating & abusing RNLI volunteers)

Quite the contrast between the PM’s words in NY last night (left) and those of the govt’s spokesperson in response to the latest Daniel Thomas outrage

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

I'm so proud of Yassin. He made Bristol and Britain his home.

He has contributed so much as a Green Party Cllr to his city and to the community in Lawrence Hill.

Solidarity in the face of this Reform fuelled racist hate.

Hope always wins!

Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO:

"To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

Letter in today's Times by climate scientist Sir Brian Hoskins:

"The discourse around net-zero is increasingly decoupled from…science and our changing weather.

"Net-zero is not an arbitrary slogan, rather it is dictated by the laws of physics."

United Against Racism Belfast have called this very important rally in Belfast on Saturday 13 June.

Keep your diary free. No to racist pogroms.

All out.

Per most recent figures, net migration to NI *over the past 22 years* has been ~62,000 people.

Only 3% of Northern Ireland’s population currently belong to an ethnic minority.

Pogroms in Belfast (as with Ballymena last year) are just gutter-level "One Is One Too Many" racism, and nothing else.

The reluctance among media outlets to specify that these pogroms are the work of far-right loyalist thugs is particularly weird, given that they sign their work! The LVF spray tags on the houses of the people they burn out, whether Catholics, migrants or refugees. They've done this for decades!

Yesterday Kier Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel, and save 2700 jobs.

Today, the Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy.

This is just one university.

Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving.

Where is the rescue package for our universities?

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!

Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence.

Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.
