Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably).

We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already.

Two decisions at last night’s Westminster City Council Planning Committee show what we mean by sustainable development & good growth. A major refurbishment and extension on Bond Street got the green light but a demolition on Savile Row was refused on circular economy grounds. 1/5

A few months ago now, I signed a contract to write a book called The Unmaking of the British Working Class.

I've now written a draft of around half of the book which examines how an organised working-class interest and presence in British politics was unmade since the 1960s.

In our latest publication, Rebecca Willis uses the example of #WoodhouseColliery to examine the use of scientific and expert evidence in #climate governance processes.

In what world can a government kill and starve 10000+ children within months and not face ANY consequence? TEN. THOUSAND. CHILDREN.

Don’t know but if I was university management I’d think twice before cancelling a discipline that existed two thousand years before “international student recruitment” and indeed more or less invented the concept and practice of a “university “.

Consistently the best satire of outrage culture

Today in Parliament we face a fundamental choice. To make my position clear to all my constituents I will be voting to support a ceasefire.

Constituents have flooded my inbox about the desperate situation in Gaza.

Given the scale of civilian deaths and displacement, I cannot in good conscience vote for anything other than a ceasefire.

Either the principles of humanitarianism apply to all, or they apply to none.

Do you want to be Transport Minister?

Wow!! Not only does Energy Secretary admit new oil & gas won't bring energy bills down - she also admits that more renewables like wind & solar *will*. Yet what do we get from this Govt? New oil & gas licences. Has Rishi Sunak been reading his energy policy documents upside down?

🚨 Over 150 Muslim Labour councillors have come together to call on Labour's leadership to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

An unprecedented letter of unity from Muslim Labour representatives shows the strength of feeling throughout the nation and in our communities.

People's votes should matter. Time for PR.
