Sheffield citizens will be able to invest in local projects to tackle climate breakdown from December, @SheffCouncil have announced. The first round of climate bonds will aim to raise £1 million – and anyone can invest from as little as £5. ✍️ @SamMGreg

🚨 We've decided to take a year out from our full Festival of Debate programme in 2026. But don’t worry – we’ll still be hosting six headline events that will welcome some of the most interesting and radical thinkers to Sheffield @nowthenmag have more ⬇️ https://t.co/cjtiuO5nbd

We have an exciting lineup of keynotes talks in 2026, but we’re taking time to think about how the festival can play a more active role in building the new systems that we urgently need.

Doesn't even make any fucking sense. That's British food, not "British values"...?
After filling this platform with the joy of eating his own cooked breakfast, @MikeTappTweets has got us all eating full English! British values 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Britain has the worst journalists in the entire world. The whole thing should be considered a national scandal.
Sian Berry, Green MP, is wearing trainers to the Commons. Shows a sad disrespect for the Palace of Westminster which she is so lucky to work in.

What's really funny about this passage is that it makes it sound like they're in different parties. They're all in the Labour Party, which is also in government!

looooooool If you live in the north of England, this government just could not give less of a shit about you or your quality of life. They care even less than the last government! https://t.co/9FNmN4rf5Y

The case against the 'Drax 15' has been thrown out of court, with the judge citing a lack of evidence. Now @reclaimthepower want to know why the police spent millions on the botched operation, which coincided with last year's far-right riots ✍️ @SamMGreg

Climate campaigners are asking serious questions about why the police prioritised the crackdown over last year’s far-right riots.

love whenever some no mark westminster aide leaves their job, and all the lobby journos go 'wow. enormous loss. cannot be overstated how crucial No Mark was behind the scenes to the day-to-day running of this historically unpopular and functionally useless government" in unison

Very telling choice of words from @SteveReedMP. If you live outside London, what Team Starmer think about @AndyBurnhamGM is what they think about you as well: you don't matter, and your views aren't important. You're just regional.

"We will continue our disruptions until institutions like the AMRC stop hosting these genocidal companies" Anti-apartheid activists have picketed a @sheffielduni energy summit involving companies that sell weapons to Israel's fugitive regime @SamMGreg ✍️ https://t.co/W0mJo4Yyoj

The University of Sheffield invited Rolls-Royce and Boeing to a flagship meeting, despite both companies’ links with the genocide in Gaza.

Insightful as ever from @labourlewis, who hopefully will join the Greens soon enough. Should be obvious that these marches more than anything stem from the gross inequalities of wealth & power in 🇬🇧, plus the systematic humiliation & 'tyranny' of meritocracy (in Sandel's words)
Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:

Bad news for No10 as Paul Ovenden was leading member of the reality based community left in Downing Street. Presumably why he’s been taken out now in a factional hit job. Would anyone really enjoy their 8 year old leaked WhatsApps being made public?

It's abundantly clear this project makes no financial sense, and is entirely about "local pride" (i.e. pork-barrel politics). The upside for Oliver is that by the time it goes seriously wrong he'll have been booted out by Reform anyway, the way things are going

.@olivercoppard's Doncaster "Sheffield" Airport folly will be a national scandal when it inevitably goes bust. The reason he's doing it is because his own party's chancellor @RachelReevesMP humiliated him by cancelling the Midland Mainline electrification. https://t.co/s2cwJ1C0oc

On Tuesday I’ll face one of the most important decisions I’ve had to make as South Yorkshire’s Mayor; whether to commit nearly £160 million of public money to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and...

🗞️A powerful report by @SamMGreg from @nowthenmag : 🕊️ Sheffield councillors have declared the city an “anti-apartheid zone” — voting overwhelmingly to condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza and urging the UK to end arms sales to the apartheid state. #IMA

The motion, supported by the city’s three major parties, calls on the Labour government to end military sales to the apartheid state.
