John Healey promised it would be a "continuity Labour government with a change of leader". His Budget has delivered exactly that.
Political graphic with a red background and the headline “CONTINUITY” in large white capital letters at the top. The central image combines half of Rachel Reeves’ face on the left with half of John Healey’s face on the right, creating one merged portrait. On the left, the text reads “RACHEL REEVES 2025”. On the right, it reads “JOHN HEALEY 2026”. Beneath both names are five identical statements, each accompanied by a white cross: NO WEALTH TAX NO RENT FREEZE NO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF WATER NO MAJOR INVESTMENT IN CLIMATE RESILIENCE STICKING TO SELF-IMPOSED FISCAL RULES The lower half of the image gradually fades to black to make the white text more visible. The graphic highlights the Green Party's criticism that both Labour Budgets follow the same approach despite the change of Chancellor.

Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields. He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future" We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense. Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

Honestly not worth complaining about this, the budget will have plenty to get annoyed about. This is something which is in fact better than nothing

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced five "everyday fixes" ahead of the Budget 1. Carer's Allowance will be changed so carers no longer lose their entire benefit when they earn over the limit - instead, their support will reduce by £1 for every extra £1 they earn 2. Import tariffs will be removed on more than 100 products, including baked beans, chocolate and gherkins, to save households up to £21 on their food shop a year 3. Tax-free mileage rates for workers using their own cars will be made permanent at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, with the rate for additional miles rising from 25p to 35p 4. Parental pay will be extended to over 150,000 more parents a year, including self-employed fathers and partners 5. Hundreds more Post Office drop boxes will be rolled out to save people queueing at branches

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

Here’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 Council’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 can’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 it’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?

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.

The government's antisemitism in schools report is a travesty. It's riddled with errors, distortions and contradictions. And it will be used to silence people over Palestine 👇 zeteo.uk/p/debunked-the-anti…

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 the motion title and the MPs that have signed it - showing all five Green Party MPs

ALT Image shows a screenshot of the motion title and the MPs that have signed it - showing all five Green Party MPs

Image shows a screenshot of an Early Day Motion 'Drilling at Jackdaw'. The Motion Text reads: "That this House notes that the UK Government’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 UN’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 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

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." He’s just another politician who says one thing when it’s politically convenient, then does the opposite.
