If Lula was a British politician the labour right would call him anti-semetic, stanchly anti Israel and compared the genocide in Gaza to the holocaust

Delighted to hear @LulaOficial has defeated the far-right in Brazil. A remarkable comeback, and a great outcome for the world!

Hereā€™s what actually happened with the new Goldsmiths campus: - Labour negotiates a deal with a university they know is on the brink of bankruptcy. - They announce this as a done deal BEFORE getting Goldsmiths to sign a lease - giving up the Councilā€™s negotiating leverage to score political points a few months ahead of the local elections. - The new Green administration then has to work to deliver this new campus, in a much weaker position than we would be had Labour not jumped the gun on the announcement. - Predictably, Goldsmiths cancels their expansion plans because they canā€™t pay for them. - Labour then try to suggest, with zero evidence, that the Green Party are to blame for the deal collapsing. When, in reality, it was their mismanagement that has led to a huge amount of wasted time, money, and effort. We had no intention of politicising this hugely disappointing news for the borough. But if Labour councillors are going to spread this kind of misinformation I feel itā€™s important for someone to correct the record here.

First Lewisham Shopping Centre, now the Goldsmiths Catford Campus. How much more investment in Lewisham is Mayor Liam Shrivastra going to cost the borough?

Basic education piece: Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Lots of Zionists aren't Jews. The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists. The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people. Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

Absolutely ridiculous decision by Plaid. Under grounding is more expensive, takes longer, is worse for the environment, is much harder to maintain and identify/fix problems and takes up way more agricultural land. Zero good argument for it. Actually infuriates me this nonsense.

Much like the Cass Review, the Bell Review cloaks ready-made conclusions in the guise of pseudo-academic inquiry, only this time the government preempted critique by feeding friendly media agreed lines before anyone could comb through it. The truth is out but the damage is done.

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

Antisemitism is a real problem. Jewish pupils need protection. The government-commissioned report on antisemitism does not answer this. The abuse of statistics is genuinely shocking. And its promotion of IHRA will silence discussion of Israel's crimes.

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

Image shows a screenshot of an Early Day Motion 'Drilling at Jackdaw'. The Motion Text reads: "That this House notes that the UK Governmentā€™s decision to license new drilling at the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea is at odds with their 2024 manifesto commitment not to issue licences to explore new fields because they will not take a penny off bills and cannot make us energy secure; believes that this decision ignores the climate science consensus and the UNā€™s warning that immediate and sustained cuts to greenhouse gas emissions are crucial to avoid the worst impacts of climate breakdown; further notes that Jackdaw is projected to contribute just 2% of UK gas demand at most over its lifetime, will only create 27 direct full-time jobs and, according to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, does not solve the problem of affordability; further believes that the only way to achieve genuine energy sovereignty is to get the UK off fossil fuels as fast as possible..."

The chance to keep global warming below 1.5Ā°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5Ā°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the šŸŒŽ on course for up to 2.8Ā°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: unep.org/en/news-and-storiesā€¦

Correctly pointed out in the comments, we still have 70% reduced gas storage capacity because of austerity - so not only will we be paying market rate for this gas anyway, we'll be paying the increases as they come for years and years. We need to get off gas as a fuel source.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforthOct 21
Sky correspondent: ".. this can be piped in to the domestic network very quickly, & of course this comes this week, natural gas prices have hit their highest level in 4 years, we're on the brink of another increase" Except going ahead with Jackdaw doesn't reduce gas prices.

Only last year, Andy Burnham signed the fossil fuel treaty in Manchester along with Massive Attack, saying, "There should be no turning away from net zero, in my view." Heā€™s just another politician who says one thing when itā€™s politically convenient, then does the opposite.
