First major mistake from Burnham
Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

And real hope comes from the millions of people who know it doesn't have to be this way. Who feel how hard life is right now and how divided our country is but know that we are creating a political movement that will make hope normal again. That's the Green Party

This seat doesn't belong to Labour for us to "steal". It belongs to Greater Manchester. This Thursday we have a chance to run this wonderful city-region for people, not profit, by voting Green as your first preference vote. www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

Pornainen, Finland (pop 5,000) is now heated by a silo of crushed soapstone. I spoke to CNBC about it. 100 MWh, charged when power is cheap, emissions down ~70%. Days to weeks of storage, no critical minerals. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/25/f...

EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham was the only British mayor to join a U.K.-U.S. trade dialogue in 2022. His intervention four years ago offers one of the most revealing insights yet into the current British PM’s thinking on international economic relations. 🔗 politico.eu/article/andy...

Did you know a barrister is facing jail just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has kept trials fair since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Add your name to defend fair trials👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Just a few hours later we find out that he's been announced as a Lord - and there's briefings that Andy Burnham will take steps that will create further destruction of our planet. We see once again exactly who Labour are. New face. Same party.
Extreme heat is killing thousands. Wildfires are burning. In order to secure a liveable future we have to leave all fossil fuels in the ground. Why can't Labour party politicians be honest & direct about that?

Labour have taken money from oil & gas companies, arms trade, private healthcare and gambling firms. Until they resist vested interests - they'll never be the answer to ending rip off Britain. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I struggle to imagine, at this particular moment in time, how anybody would want to make our climate issues worse than they are. How many preventable deaths will it take for our politicians to carry out their primary purpose, the safety and security of the people. A fundamentally illogical failure.
New drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Funny how the ICC only becomes a threat when you're doing things the ICC was created to prosecute.
State Dept spokesperson Tommy Pigott: "If the ICC continues to try to threaten our sovereignty, they will know the full power of American resolve" (are we going to, like, bomb the International Criminal Court?)

Starmer's government is still on X, the platform that promotes hate and racism.
Asked about rising racism and hatred in the UK, Keir Starmer says "the very sad thing is I am not able to say that in the 10 years since Jo Cox's death that things have got better because sadly they have got worse. That's on all of us to fix." Well yes, and your government has done what exactly?

We should allow asylum seekers to work – so that they can support themselves and become part of our communities. It’s these common sense solutions, not more performative cruelty, that will fix our broken migration system. metro.co.uk/2026/07/01/z...
