0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.
Natural disasters aren’t natural. A storm doesn’t decide who has insurance, savings or somewhere safe to go. People built the systems that leave others exposed. People can change them.

#BBC Reform platforming. Reform's Zia Yusuf despite not being a MP or holding elected office makes his EIGHTH appearance on #bbcqt in just over two years. This despite Farage's Reform blocking him from being a candidate; and being widely seen as too abrasive & aggressive.

Journalists from the Daily Mail and their family members fled their homes after “bullyboy, intimidatory tactics”.
His legal bill paid for by Elon Musk.

“I know £126,000 sounds like an enormous amount of money, but after tax it works out at broadly £6,500 a month, and that really doesn’t go as far as people might think"

The world’s private jets release more C02 in two seconds than most people emit in a year, according to a new report by Oxfam. In all, it says, the richest 8 million people on earth do more to destroy the climate than the poorest 3.5 million.

Andy Burnham has big decisions to make on Rosebank, Heathrow, cars and heat pumps. Making the wrong ones would be sleepwalking the UK further into climate crisis, he is warned.

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt has been made to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure
