#UK The researchers argue that Labour faces pressure from both directions. Weakening climate commitments might appear to offer a way of appealing to Reform voters, but risks alienating people who want stronger action and are increasingly turning to the Greens. The paper highlights how the Green Party’s electoral gains have been driven not simply by climate concerns, but also by dissatisfaction with economic inequality and the cost-of-living crisis https://envirotecmagazine.com/2026/11/10/abandoning-net-zero-could-backfire-on-labour-new-research-warns/ #ClimateChange

#UK New sales figures released this week show, for the second month running, over 40% of new cars sold in France [1], and more than one in three in Germany [2] were electric – underscoring the risk to UK carmakers that fail to adapt their businesses to meet demand for EVs in key export markets https://eciu.net/media/press-releases/risk-to-uk-carmakers-going-slow-on-evs-as-new-sales-figures-show-surge-in-france-and-germany #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Risk to UK carmakers going slow on EVs as new sales figures show…

As Government considers watering down UK EV sales targets, new analysis finds more than a hundred thousand jobs will be at stake if carmakers do not adapt to growing EV demand in key export markets.

“UK government facing legal challenge over IHRA antisemitism definition in schools” by Oscar Rickett in Middle East Eye @uk_politics@UKLabour@mastodon.cloud@palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @iran@iraq@mastodon.social@palestinenews@gts.liberated.press@Yemen@mastodon.social “The British government is being challenged legally over its recommendation for schools to adopt the contested IHRA definition of antisemitism. The Good Law Project launched a legal challenge against the government on Monday. The group’s executive director Jo Maugham told Middle East Eye he was worried that ‘rules which conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism… could be among the drivers of antisemitism’.” https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-government-facing-legal-challenge-over-ihra-antisemitism-definition-schools #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Government #UK #IHRA #Schools #Israel #Zionism #AntiSemitism #GoodLawProject #Bell #BellReport #Labour #Burnham #LabourFriendsOfGenocide #LabourFriendsOfIsrael #HierarchyOfRacism #HateSpeech #Islamophobia #Palestine #Censorship

“Labour's message to #UK voters: Israel is more important than your needs” by Tom Blackburn in Middle East Eye @uk_politics@UKLabour@mastodon.cloud@palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestinenews@gts.liberated.press@thegreenparty The UK Labour Party has signalled its intention to break local co-operation deals with the #GreenParty over the latter’s ‘Zionism is racism’ motion, passed at the Greens’ conference last month. [..] “The arrogance of this move is striking. Labour spent the best part of three years backing Israel to the hilt, both militarily and politically, as it inflicted genocide on Gaza, only latterly expressing reservations after coming under increasing domestic and international pressure. Now it presumes the right to lecture the Greens about standards of morality and political hygiene, as if it has any claim to the moral high ground” https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/labours-message-britons-israel-more-important-your-needs #Press #SocialMedia #Labour #Burnham #Gaza #Genocide #PalestinianGenocide #Israel #Zionism #Hypocrisy #Lies #LabourFriendsOfGenocide

#UK The paper frames the stakes in economic terms. Well-functioning transport networks cut direct costs for individuals and businesses by smoothing the flow of people and goods, and better connectivity deepens labour markets. The authors argue that UK planning often overlooks the integrated management of decarbonisation, resilience and asset strategy, and that the resulting gaps threaten long-term infrastructure reliability https://www.marketscale.com/industries/transportation/review-of-120-plus-uk-transport-plans-finds-big-gaps-in-climate-resilience-rules #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

#theatre #art #London #UK Last year’s hit Fringe musical was Hot Mess, a rom-com between Earth & Humanity – featuring a new play grounding its narrative in the reality of the climate crisis part comedy, part eco-thriller. It follows four teenage girls who take extraordinary measures to stop a billionaire from building a marina that will destroy local wildlife. They plan to kidnap his grandson, sure that revolution will follow https://www.whatsonstage.com/news/teenage-rage-and-climate-change-how-can-theatres-fight-back_1736388/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

One of my closest friends has written a full-cast horror audio drama inspired by Robert W. Chambers’ cult weird fiction collection, The King in Yellow. The first episode has been released and it's immaculately done. Original music, a brilliant cast and script, you can listen to it on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. https://www.hawberkpress.com/the-pallid-mask/ #Podcast #Audio #Writing #UK #News #Horror #HorrorCommunity #Podcasts #WeirdFiction #Fiction #Listening #NowListening #Scotland

A good read on the Poppy obsession that sweeps the UK annually, and in memory of his father, by the late Robert Fisk back in 2011 - "I remember that they wanted to remember their dead comrades. But above all, they wanted an end to war. But now I see these pathetic creatures with their little sand-pit poppies – I notice that our masters in the House of Commons do the same – and I despise them. Heaven be thanked that the soldiers of the Great War cannot return today to discover how their sacrifice has been turned into a fashion appendage." Even more true today I feel. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-do-those-who-flaunt-the-poppy-on-their-lapels-know-that-they-mock-the-war-dead-6257416.html #UK
