If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice

The UK government didn’t want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I’m not surprised

From merrily dismissing climate science, to promoting irresponsible health claims, the podcast was an unintentional warning for our times, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian - UK

The Guardian - UK

I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t

Money talks – and his essay denouncing ‘near-term emissions goals’ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

The Guardian - UK

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian - UK

Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth

The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian - UK

It hurt when I crashed my bike into a pothole – and it taught me the true price of austerity

Fixing that hole could have cost under £100; the cost of not doing so is limitless. My prang highlights the neoliberal folly of false economies, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian - UK

Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian - UK

I have now been a journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful
