by Graham Wroe The Covid enquiry has reached its conclusions and found that Boris Johnson’s chaotic Covid decisions and delays were responsible for the deaths of 23,000 people. And yet he’s still allowed to claim a whopping £115,000 a year, for life, just for being a former Prime Minister. I wonder at what point inContinueContinue reading “World leaders should be in court.”

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. It’s time to completely change the COP system, firstly by excluding the oil lobbyists, secondly by removing the needContinueContinue reading “COP 30 leaves us on track to a totally uninhabitable planet.”

We need to take back control from Corporate Courts, which threaten our Green Progress.
byStephen Pennells Recent centuries have seen massive international investment: the Suez and Panama Canals spring to mind, but massive infrastructure projects such as ports, railways, roads, power stations and grids, mines, wells, pipelines, and roads are no less important.

“This is a march of Love”. Anti racists try to stop fascists from intimidating asylum seekers at their hotel.
Yesterday Nick Tenconi, the leader of UKIP, best known for his Nazi salutes, paraded a group of about 60 people through Sheffield to a hotel where asylum seekers are accommodated. If the march had been to a house belonging to a politician or a celebrity, no doubt the authorities would have stopped it. But becauseContinueContinue reading ““This is a march of Love”.

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. So it was great to witness the rally in Sheffield yesterday, giving Asylum Seekers aContinueContinue reading “Asylum Seekers must have the Right to Work.”
