How many people think to themselves, "I'd vote Labour, if only they could be more like Trump." I would guess it's a number close to zero. But Labour seems to be chasing a figment of its imagination, and this is perhaps the most grotesque example so far. www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/opinion...

“Our warnings [...] were ignored, & since then we've had to watch helplessly as the UK Govt sold out our seas & communities, allowing fishing pressure to build relentlessly as [...] industrial vessels squeezed out the small local boats" @hugotagholm.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?

We want the media and politicians to recognise there's a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Here's a plot of fertiliser imports into #Ireland over recent years. By far the greatest tonnage is for N-compounds, with a marked up tick in 2023-'24. Intensive ruminant production sucks nitrogen & our rivers/lakes show it, but let's hold onto the #NitratesDerogation & sacred cows. [Data CSO]

Google data centres coming to Hertfordshire?! Sounds a lot like the final nail in an already well-nailed coffin for the local chalk streams. Or will the water be sucked out of the Thames at Teddington for it under Thames Water’s current plans? Keep your beady eyes on this.

A massive, dangerous and disgusting scandal, of which far too few people are yet aware. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social we'll keep pushing to stop it. Congrats to @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social for continuing to shine the light: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When @seriverstrust.bsky.social found efforts to restore trout to the River Wandle kept failing they identified road runoff pollution as a possible issue & installed 1 filter at a critical point - after that, after 90 years away, trout began returning. www.southeastriverstrust.org?s=Wandle+roa...

Rachel Reeves could soon find herself in court over her plans to strip protections from bats & newts. 👉 Experts warn her rollback of environmental law could break rules under the Brexit trade deal, opening Britain up to EU legal action. This isn’t growth. It’s bulldozing nature for profit. 🌱

Information published today shows the Treasury sent the Bank of England £40 billion last year. That's more than the entire budget of the Department for Transport. And where does this money ultimately end up? Lining the pockets of commercial banks.

Simon Tisdall highlights the dangers posed by the proliferation of lower-yield, tactical warheads which supposedly allows “limited” nuclear war. Crossing that red line could lead to an unstoppable chain reaction, with horrific consequences. The campaign against nuclear weapons must get much louder👇

In the absence of the council's sustainability event, @sustainhackney.bsky.social put on their own! So many great organisations in the borough from @saveleamarshes.bsky.social to @hackneylcc.bsky.social , mentoring young people in sustainable fashion to creating insect corridors & much more ⭐️

Completely agree. I’ve been a local gov journalist for 12 years and have reported on the fall of local government in that time. It’s had a massive impact on the fabric of our society, on what makes our communities work. It’s about more than just bins and roads, it’s about a sense of place and pride.

Great news. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social we lost our court case on sewage sludge spreading, but now we're winning by other means. It's crazy that it took so long, but shows that persistence pays. Please support FD if you can. Thanks. fightingdirty.org/press-releas...

"Over the weekend, protesters took to the streets across the country – in Edinburgh, Truro, Manchester, Bristol and London – in support of the Palestinian people. More than 100 non-violent protesters were arrested, some carried away by police officers while others were led away in handcuffs."

Renters are paying £221 more EVERY MONTH compared to just three years ago. Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, explains why we can't go on like this to BBC Radio Sussex👇👇

Add to all that 👇the systematic destruction of (carbon-storing, biodiversity-holding) vegetation. For instance: "By March 2024, nearly half of the farmland in Gaza had been destroyed, and by the following January 80% of the tree cover had been destroyed." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environ...

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

We often hear the phase 'affordable housing' being bounded about, but so often it's nothing of the sort. So how could we deliver housing that is affordable in perpetuity? Kareem Dayes explains how they did it at the RUSS development in Lewisham. www.houseplanninghelp.com/364 #SelfBuild #Housing

Lots of time and effort has gone into the Independent Water Commission, which reports tomorrow. Unfortunately, it's a largely wasted exercise, because the government insisted that renationalisation of the water companies was outside its terms of reference: ie, it was not allowed to consider it.🧵

Labour seems totally incapable of cleaning up our water. Banning bonuses is least they should do (& water companies are getting round it anyway). Re-announcing old pledges & peddling myths about cost of nationalisation won’t cut it. Bring water into public hands now #bbclaurak
