Me, a Burmese woman with longish black hair wearing a black t-shirt that says ‘Free Myanmar’. I’m standing in front of some out-of-focus wisteria and I’m smiling slightly.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil is confirmed to have been killed by the IDF.

Al Akhbar, her outlet, as well as LBCI and Al Jadeed, have confirmed it.

The IDF, the world’s leading killer of journalists, was blocking rescue operations.

They clearly position themselves as far away from the Greens as possible, but very close to Reform. Great look!
That will go down well with the local elections

Aaaaaaargh

Finally, new clause 65, tabled by the right hon. Member for Oxford East talks about national limits on campaign expenditure and essentially proposes to reduce the campaign expenditure limits, which were increased under the Elections Act 2022. Philip Rycroft mentioned the problem of an arms race between parties spending ever more. Initially, the whole idea of setting campaign expenditure limits during the regulated period was to encourage parties not to spend too much. However, if the limits are high, parties will inevitably end up spending right up to them, if they have the financial capacity. Together, these proposals for a cap on donations, lower limits on expenditure and limits applying year round—or at the very least for the Electoral Commission to do a review, as per my new clause—would be critical safeguards for our democracy. They would go some way towards recognising the reality that currently, big money has a huge, damaging, distorting and anti-democratic effect on our politics. Samantha Dixon Sharethis specific contribution New clause 30 seeks to place a cap on the amount a person can donate to registered political parties in a calendar year. The Government aim to strike the right balance in relation to political donations to protect against foreign interference and improve transparency, while also ensuring that legitimate donors can continue to fund electoral campaigning. This new clause goes a step too far in restricting legitimate donations and could significantly limit parties’ ability to raise sufficient funds to communicate their views to the electorate—an essential part of a healthy democracy and effective election process.

The Government has rejected a proposal to cap donations for (non-foreign) donors, saying it could "significantly limit parties’ ability to raise sufficient funds to communicate their views to the electorate."

Trading climate action for warfare On the militarization of the battery industry

The battery industry is pivoting toward warfare & surveillance. It's not great.

Putin’s hired thugs fight dirty to disrupt clean energy in Europe Cheaply recruited disruptors are targeting energy projects in Latvia and Lithuania — and experts warn that Russia could be planning to hit western countries next

"A senior official from another Baltic state said Russia was also 'weaponising' the net-zero agenda to stir up public resentments."

"...it is only a matter of time before the tactics that are now being tested on the Baltic states are turned against other countries, including the UK and Germany"

Amazing day for renewables in the UK

So has Miliband pitched his scheme to decouple electricity prices from gas prices, or are we still obsessing over Mandelson to the exclusion of all else?

deeply unfunny premise, horrid response that also happens to be amazingly unfunny, just ? ? ?

Insane!

Ouch

Give wine to the ppl

In fact it's not even that. 133 litres is about 177 regular bottles. So roughly half a bottle per day.

People getting all excited about this figure should be reminded that in post-war fifties France wine was considered an important source of calories to boost an often poor diet, and in any case may only have been 8 - 10° alcohol.

On Earth Day, celebrating a real victory: Warren Farm.

Years of tireless campaigning.

A community that refused to give up.

Nature protected. Greed defeated.

This is what people power looks like. 🌍

Huge thank you Zack for all your support over the years. Warren Farm is a real example of the community spirit in Hanwell - a successful years-long campaign to protect a vital local green space 💚

Politico report the Home Secretary was asked who out of Zack Polanski, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch or Ed Davey she would taser or deport.

Mahmood replied: “All of the above.”

So Home Secretary is herself able to joke about deporting Badenoch, Polanski & Farage.

(Farage ought not to reciprocate)

Fresh from telling voters yesterday to fuck off when they challenged her for imposing Reform style policies the Home Secretary has decided to out-fash herself today by joking about how she'd assault & deport her political rivals. Wild, wild stuff
