BREAKING: Greenpeace activists have CONFRONTED a piece of Shell drilling equipment that is getting ready to extract oil in UK waters - even though Shell DON’T HAVE LEGAL PERMISSION to drill Why is Shell IGNORING high court rulings that FORBID them from extracting oil at Rosebank?

GOOD NEWS: Spain has announced a scheme to grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented migrants. Instead of unleashing state violence, we can create compassionate, legal routes to documentation. Who else thinks the UK should be following Spain's lead, NOT the US'? edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/e...

‘A migration model based on human rights’: Spain to grant legal status to half a million undocumented migrants | CNN
Spain has announced it will grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented migrants, in a move that goes against a trend of anti-immigration rhetoric and policies in the United States and much of Europe.

🚨SHOCKING FACT: Sustainable small-scale fishing boats make up 79% of the UK fleet but only get allocated around 2% of the fishing quota. The UK gov is choosing a few greedy industrial fishing corporations over our local fishermen. It’s a national disgrace.

Did you know multi-million pound fishing companies are overfishing UK waters? Leaving nothing for more sustainable small-scale local fishermen. The UK government has total control over how many fish are caught and who gets to catch them. They’re choosing corporate greed over our national heritage.
