We are in Belém, Brazil as COP30 gets underway.

This is what happens when you outsource your policy programme to the Tony Blair Institute, corporates & tech billionaires.
Any trade unions, civil society orgs and campaign groups opposing this dystopian mess - count me in.
Two years ago, The New Statesman named Roger one of the UK’s most influential progressives. A year later, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison—the longest ever for nonviolent action—for a short Zoom speech on civil disobedience.
Now out on licence, Roger returns with On Being, In Prison—an unflinching talk on what prison taught him about being: from brutal materialism (“it is what it is”), to postmodern denial (“you just can’t say”), to the mystery of God (“glory be”).
In a world unravelling, Roger argues that unlearning how we see ourselves & reality will be our greatest political, cultural & spiritual task. Only in the face of terror can we find the courage to remake the world.

We are flying the Palestinian flag outside our headquarters to show solidarity with Palestine. The council claims we need planning permission. We’ve written to the council to explain why they’re wrong and we’d also like to establish that for the benefit of others. We will not be removing the flag or applying for planning permission.

@BBCNewsnight really bad edit - Porritt clearly corrects himself at the very end in the original broadcast - this has been omitted. "...that is using violent action against people - sorry violent action against property. "
“What about Edinburgh council, the f****** slags. The amount of money we’re going to bring in, 1 billion pound we’re gonna bring in at this city over the next 3 days, 1 f****** billion pound which you’ll probably see fuck all of, because they’ll bring it in and split it between their posh, ugly f****** mates. Anyways, we’re still waiting for that f****** apology.”

I’ve just finished marching on the Palestine demonstration & have come to Parliament Square where people are being arrested for peacefully protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action. It’s a disgrace that people are being arrested for upholding our democratic rights.
BREAKING: Over 400 arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding signs which say "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"
This was the largest mass arrest ever by the Met police at a single protest.
I often wonder what happened to Keir Starmer the human rights lawyer.
He’s facilitated a genocide, demonised refugees, and proscribed a non violent direct action protest group.
He’s like a firefighter turned pyromaniac.
