We can't afford half measures on climate. Now is the time for bold action that puts people and planet before profit. Take action: secure.waronwant.org/page/195450/...

At the same time, reports suggest the UK government could also approve the controversial Rosebank and Jackdaw fossil fuel projects. Rosebank won't lower bills or improve energy security. It would lock in decades of emissions while boosting oil company profits.

A £2 bus fare cap is welcome. Funding it by replacing international climate grants with loans isn't. That risks pushing countries in the Global South further into debt for a climate crisis they did not cause.🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

2,700 people died during the May and June heatwaves in England and Wales. Over 40% of those deaths would not have happened without intensifying climate breakdown – driven by fossil fuels. We can't treat deadly heat as the new normal. Find out more: waronwant.org/issues-we-ta...

Who really pays the price for cheap fruit and vegetables?🍅 Workers in Morocco help feed the UK, yet many face low wages while corporate supply chains prioritise profits. Read more in our new briefing: waronwant.org/resources/bi...

A new Prime Minister. A new chance to #StopRosebank. Next week, Labour MP Andy Burnham will likely enter Downing Street. Let's make sure one of his first decisions is to reject the UK's biggest undeveloped oil field. Ask your MP to build pressure on Burnham: secure.waronwant.org/page/194034/...

The only remaining question is whether the new Prime Minister will stand on the side of human rights and international law – or on the side of war criminals.

It’s clear what the UK government needs to do to end its complicity in Israel's genocide and apartheid regime: ✅Stop arming Israel ✅End all UK-Israel trade – not just settlement trade ✅Sanction Israel's leaders, accused war criminals

Israel has been committing a genocide of Palestinians for 2+ years and stealing Palestinian land for its illegal settlements for decades. The UK has sanctioned a handful of violent settlers, but ignored the root cause of the settlements: Israel’s occupation & apartheid regime.

Andy Burnham, the UK Prime Minister in waiting, has said his government would increase pressure on Israel through sanctions and a potential ban on the trade of goods with illegal settlements. If he follows through it’s a step forward – but not enough. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Israel systematically tortures Palestinians with impunity, including children, the elderly and doctors like Hussam Abu Safiya. The UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper must tell Israel to stop torturing Palestinians – a war crime – and release Doctor Abu Safiya. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

But reparations aren't just about acknowledging the past. They're about confronting an economic and political system that enriches the Global North at the expense of the Global South. Read more: waronwant.org/news-analysi...

Jamaican officials are travelling to the UK this September to formally petition King Charles over slavery reparations. The UK owes reparations for centuries of exploitation and plunder across the Global South. The bill? An estimated £18.6tn.🧵 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Paraquat has poisoned thousands of farmworkers, smallholder farmers and rural communities worldwide. Long-term exposure has been linked to Parkinson's disease. Other leading UK supermarkets have already acted. It's time for @sainsburys.bsky.social to ban paraquat from its supply chains.

In Bangladesh and Argentina, communities and farmworkers continue to face the devastating impacts of paraquat. Our partners – Jatiyo Kisani Shramik Samity, the Bangladesh Agricultural Farm Labour Federation and La Asociación Civil Salud Socioambiental – are challenging its use.

Paraquat – a highly toxic herbicide – is used to grow @sainsburys.bsky.social own-brand produce. Though banned in the UK and EU, it's still used across the supermarket's supply chains. We've backed Pesticide Action Network UK in calling on Sainsbury's to end its use. t.co/WVIozZZfX4
