Political cowardice hindering Europe’s climate efforts, says EU’s green chief (The Guardian)

Effects of crisis are becoming increasingly obvious but not translating into proper action.

Political cowardice is hindering European efforts to face up to the effects of the climate crisis, even as the continent is pummelled by a record-breaking heatwave.

The BBC is utterly beholden to the right. Why else would it fear an Evan Davis podcast about heat pumps? (The Guardian)

The broadcaster behaves like Starmer’s government: suppress the left, cave to your critics, and undermine your own survival.

Why? The answer is simple: economic power.

A silent majority of the world’s people wants stronger climate action. It’s time to wake up. (The Guardian)

About 89% of the public want their governments to do more to tackle the climate crisis – but don’t know they’re the majority.

We believe the current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

Fake ads, real politics: the art of Foka Wolf, the ‘Birmingham Banksy’ – in pictures (The Guardian)

Anonymous street artist Foka Wolf uses the language of advertising to highlight political and social issues, from the PPE crisis to food banks.

During tough political times, does it get harder to make satire? “Easier. More dickheads – more targets.”
