The Court of Appeal has upheld Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organisation.
This repressive measure is a misuse of counter-terrorism powers, and a deeply concerning part of the UK government’s crackdown on our right to protest. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Israel has killed at least 980 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the so-called ceasefire began.
The UK government should be ending its complicity in Israel’s genocide and holding Israel to account, not silencing those protesting war crimes.

Elon Musk is on track to be the world's first trillionaire.
This isn’t only unjust – it’s harmful.
Extreme wealth accelerates climate breakdown, fuels inequality and concentrates power in the hands of the richest few.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is planned to debut on Wall Street, with the controversial tech billionaire poised to enter history as the world’s first trillionaire.
Musk is already the world’s richest man before SpaceX’s record IPO announcement.

What's a just transition – and why does it matter?
At the Bonn climate talks this week, we're calling for a transition away from fossil fuels that delivers affordable clean energy, good jobs and greater equality.
🎥 @Leon_Ayo, our Senior Climate Justice campaigner, explains.

140 UK Labour MPs are demanding a ban on trade with Israel's illegal settlements on Palestinian land.
87% of Labour members support the ban - and international law demands it.
Momentum is building. Take action now to end settlement trade: secure.waronwant.org/page/17…
Together with almost 140 fellow Labour MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary to call for a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Our group includes every Labour select committee chair.
It’s time to be clear that settlements have no viable economic future

Communities in La Guajira, Colombia, have forced Cerrejón – one of the world's largest open-pit coal mines – to suspend operations.
During the blockade, owner @Glencore moved to suspend workers' contracts before later resuming operations.

Communities are demanding access to water and basic services, a say in decisions about their territories, and a fair share of the wealth extracted from their lands.
Cerrejón's licence expires in 2034. With production already declining – the question is now how it will close.

As our partners @CensatAguaViva & @laguajirahabla argue, La Guajira needs a closure plan that protects workers, respects community rights & repairs environmental harm.
This should be part of a broader just transition away from fossil fuels and towards better futures for all.

@bp_plc is a major investor in the project.
Hear from those affected.👇

Take a glimpse at our recent Palestine Solidarity Dinner.
We heard first-hand about the barriers facing Palestinian producers.
Israel is stealing land, destroying olive groves, and building illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

Argentina’s far-right government blames Indigenous Mapuche communities for the wildfires devastating Patagonia.
But judicial investigations have found no evidence to support this – despite officials suggesting links to “terrorism”.
The real evidence points elsewhere.⬇️

5/ The UK government must speak out — for diplomacy, peace and respect for Cuban sovereignty.
No more endless wars or US imperialism. End the blockade. Only the Cuban people can decide their own future. cuba-solidarity.org.uk/news/…

Still the impacts of climate breakdown are being felt even more intensely across the Global South.
Across South and south-east Asia, informal workers can no longer recover from the heat – battling exhaustion amid soaring temperatures.

A just transition away from fossil fuels and towards societies built on publicly-owned renewable energy, strong public services and equality is no longer optional – it’s necessary.
