COP 30 leaves us on track to a totally uninhabitable planet.
As expected, COP 30 was another massive let-down. Every year I try to tell myself, perhaps this year will be different, but after 29 failed COPs I really shouldn’t be surprised that we’ve had another one.

Asylum Seekers must have the Right to Work.
Our right-wing media often platforms writers and speakers who spread lies and misinformation about asylum seekers. This is leading to the growth of extreme right-wing parties like Reform and the rightward slide of traditional parties like Labour and the Conservatives.
