If Chancellor includes tax revenues from not yet approved #Rosebank oil field to fund his budget itâs environmentally ruinous & morally obscene. As the planet burns, claiming emissions wonât âcountâ because the oil is burned overseas is reckless & cynical

Max McLoughlin retweeted
"Government insiders have told the Guardian the project can be approved on a strict reading of Britainâs climate obligations, in part because once the oil is exported, the emissions from burning it no longer count against domestic targets. âMiatta has more latitude than you might think,â said one."
This is insanity masquerading as creative accounting.
EXCL: The giant Rosebank oilfield can be approved without breaching the UKâs emission targets, according to government insiders, in a boost to those in the cabinet who are pushing for it to be given the go-ahead.
Sources also say the Treasury has already accounted for billions of poundsâ worth of tax revenue from Rosebank and so would be faced with a shortfall should it be rejected.

Todayâs budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with.
A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.

The removal of biodiversity requirements on new buildings is a terrible move in the #Budget2026
Even if only on brownfield sites, many are in the greenbelt. Those that arenât need to protect from the urban heat island effect.
This government are terrible for the environment
I fear weâll see the same philosophy applied to the Labour governmentâs budget this week.

Martin Abram's speech to full council last night about his experiences as a Jewish man facing antisemitism, the dangers of turning antisemitism into a political football, and our drive to make Lambeth a borough of sanctuary and solidarity for all â no hatred used to divide us!

Councillors and candidates for Reform UK have been recorded making racist, anti-Muslim and misogynistic comments by undercover reporters for ITV's Exposure programme.
Two of them even talk about keeping their views quiet until they are elected.

âItâs a proposal to fund councils to not just build, but also, in addition, buy council homes, which they then can use as real council homes.â

Three years on, we remember the horrific events of October 7 and the wave of destruction in Gaza that has followed it.
We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence, for peace and safety for all.

ALT Solihull Green councillors are united in the belief that every resident of this borough has the right to feel safe, valued and welcome here, whoever they are and whatever their faith. We stand against all forms of discrimination or harassment. That is why we brought âFrom Words to Actionâ to this Council in April. We are disappointed that despite it being referred on to scrutiny and governance, neither have yet considered it. We reaffirm every commitment in that motion today. Words are not enough. We want this Council to adopt its anti-racist strategy, fund it, and build it with Solihullâs Jewish, Muslim and other communities, so that every resident knows they belong here. Solihull is, and must remain, a tolerant and inclusive borough, where everyone feels safe and welcome.
