Seems fitting that UK, the first country to introduce coal fired power, is also first G7 country to move beyond it. With thanks to the workers who powered our past, this is now a vital moment in a green transition which must be fair & support communities

As UK’s last coal fired power plant closes today, it’s a good time to reflect on long campaigns against new coal. 16 years ago I joined campaigners against Kingsnorth. Back then, we were mocked for calling for an end to coal - now it’s finally happened

Sending peaceful protestors to prison for highlighting existential dangers of climate collapse is dangerous & disproportionate. The right to peaceful protest won many of the liberties we enjoy today - criminalising it simply proves authorities are afraid of it because it works

It's time the super-rich played their part through a fairer tax system.
Restore the winter fuel payment.

If Starmer cares about democracy, he should listen to the majority at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23LabourConference24
who just voted to reverse decision on cutting winter fuel payments. His position is unfair, unnecessary, & now undemocratic as well

Depressing reflection of media priorities that focus is all on frocks & football tickets, rather than on real obscenity - that Labour is accused of receiving £4m, its largest-ever donation, from a tax haven-based hedge fund with shares in oil and arms

If Jenrick needs some exs of Englishness, he could start with the Diggers & Levellers, Tolpuddle martyrs, working people fighting for our rights against elites trying to prevent it eg at Peterloo - our history is far more inclusive & radical than he knows

Exactly the hijacking of English identity I warn of in my book,
