- The summer of 2026 will go down in history books as the hottest, driest and most deadly set of heatwaves Britain has ever experienced. This weather isn’t normal – but it is predictable according to a global consensus of scientists. And yet this summer, according to the science, will be one of the coolest summers we ever have again. Things will only get hotter from here.
Beginning his career as an oil-rig engineer before retraining as a climate scientist, Kevin Anderson’s career has been an extraordinary journey. On Downstream this week, Aaron Bastani sat down with him to discuss what has become his life’s work: sounding the alarm on man-made climate change, and on the fossil fuel industry that gave him his start.
Just how much has the planet heated, and why? Is the Paris Agreement’s aim of keeping heating to beneath 1.5°C still achievable, or delusional cope? What are the political obstacles to tackling the issue? Having worked with Andy Burnham in ...

- A minister tasked with protecting women and girls from sexual violence did nothing when Jeffrey Epstein's friend, Peter Mandelson, was appointed as US ambassador.
Alex Davies-Jones failed to resign from Keir Starmer's government when Mandelson got the prestigious job. When the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire pointed this out on Tuesday, she claimed that ”we were all deceived" by Mandelson.
But Mandelson’s friendship with the paedophile, which continued even after his conviction for child sex offences, was public knowledge at the time of his appointment, Ash Sarkar noted on Newsnight.
Davies-Jones’s answer is “shifty”, Sarkar said, adding that Labour politicians ought to start trying to tell the truth: "Stop trying to save your own skin because it looks awful."

- In the years since October 7th, the world has been bitterly polarised over how to make sense of the violence. While polling shows that a majority of people do believe Israel’s actions amount to genocide - having witnessed it with their own eyes via their smartphones - it has been woefully hard to find mainstream media outlets in the West prepared to use this language.
On Downstream this week, Aaron Bastani sat down with Indian essayist and novelist Pankaj Mishra. His most recent book, ‘The World After Gaza’ takes stock of a world order shattered by the genocide, and a media class unprepared to recognise the truth. In response to these crises, Mishra and colleagues have just launched Equator magazine, pulling together leading writers from across the globe who are unafraid to tell the truth.

Kelly and her four co-defendants were convicted of criminal damage, which is not a terror offence. The jury was not told that the judge could add a “terror connection” during sentencing.
The activists staged the direct action at a Burnley branch of Barclays to protest the bank’s links to Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.
