I moved back to the UK around 18 months ago, after 20 years away, and the country I left no longer exists. A thread on UK climatic changes and how it's left me feeling... 🧵

Hope not hate…

Signed.

When I met with BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA a couple of weeks ago, I wish I had asked him to show me his VERY WELL made HOLLYWOOD MASK that he wore to sometimes do press conferences while impersonating "Joe Biden"!! Everyone now knows that. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

👏 Great to see Lt Gen Richard Nugee giving evidence to the @commonseac.parliament.uk about the Joint Intelligence Committee’s report on global biodiversity loss. 📉 This report outlines how nature loss is a national security threat to the UK and requires action to protect our food, health & economy.

Only in the Telegraph or Times. Just cut all of your family out of your will and spend the rest of your life locked in a room with pots of gold 🙄 www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consum...

Re: Members of the family at the very top of this list In 2024, a Swiss court found four members of the Hinduja family guilty of exploiting employees. The Hindujas, who were not present in court, were convicted of charges relating to the exploitation of their employees. Four received prison terms.

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

88% of millionaires are proud to live in the UK and three quarters are willing to pay higher taxes to defend what makes them proud. Why won’t our politicians listen, pick up the pace, and get on with what is welcome, common sense, and necessary? It’s time to tax the super rich.

Our response to the Sunday Times Rich List

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

crucial context: Peter Mandelson was sacked from the first New Labour government for having a £373,000 *loan* (not a gift) from a Labour colleague (Geoffrey Robinson) to buy a house

Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he got from a crypto billionaire was a ‘reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years’ On May 5, Mr Farage told the BBC the money was ‘the only way I can protect myself for the rest of my life’ as he was the ‘most attacked, physically, politician of modern times’

Why all these huge data centers?

Votes are still being counted, but one thing is clear: First Past the Post is broken. 🗳️MPs elected while 2/3 of voters opposed them. Majority governments on a quarter of the vote. This isn't democracy. Sign the letter calling for electoral reform 👇 secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/191527/...

🇬🇧 The UK has a dirty little secret… It’s really good at hiding dirty little secrets. In June, the UK hosts a global dirty‑money summit — but unless they face Britain’s own role, it’ll just be a meaningless talking shop. Head to taxjustice.uk/DirtyMoney to find out more.

800 screenings already scheduled in the UK! This film shows the huge opportunity to make the UK: more climate-resilient, improve food security, deliver jobs to boost the economy and have a healthier and happier country. Can you find 2 hours to attend a screening and join the debate?

I’ve just emailed energy secretary @Ed Miliband asking him to send the frackers packing, for good. We need a full fracking ban in England and existing loopholes closed. There’s a short window to act – get involved! @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/ed-mi...

With food price inflation in the news, here is a warning everyone should hear - #NEB food systems expert @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social speaking at the #NationalEmergencyBriefing. Full talks here: www.nebriefing.org/expert-brief... #PEBuk #FoodSecurity

When billionaires align themselves with power, they threaten lives and democracy. Jeff Bezos sponsoring the Met Gala is a prime example of this. This is not philanthropy, it is influence bought and paid for. End the oligarchy #TaxTheSuperRich

The Met has long showcased art & fashion from across centuries that spoke truth to power, but this year’s #MetGala risks doing the opposite by artwashing the extreme wealth harming people, economies & planet today. Read the open letter: taxthesuperrich.world/wp-content/u... #TaxTheSuperRich

Events like the Met Gala shouldn’t be used to polish the image of those tied to concentrated wealth and power #TaxTheSuperRich

Yes, this is a *different* overseas crypto billionaire that gave Reform multiple millions.

Am incredibly chuffed to have been longlisted for @privateeyenews.bsky.social 's Paul Foot awards for investigation into Labour Together and APCO A real coup for a tiny outlet like Democracy for Sale So good to see such great stories nominated too. 😀 www.private-eye.co.uk/paul-foot-aw...

Nigel Farage asked on BBC news this morning if he'd debate with me. Says he's too busy with the local elections & it will just be a "big row." I've been asking him for months. Someone's running scared? Vote Green.

When billionaires and their stooges say that their priorities are "anti-woke", "anti-cancel culture" and "unrestricted free speech", don't take their claims at face value. They're a coded way of saying, “I should be allowed to do whatever I want, regardless of the impacts on other people.”

As prices rise, Big Oil keeps cashing in; turning a basic need into a luxury for too many. One second of profit for them. 12 months of budgeting for everyone else. It’s time to #MakeRichPollutersPay 👉 bit.ly/3LGrQ5u#MakeRichPollutersPay

Dear France, Thank you for blocking war criminals! ================

I'm proud to support @TaxJusticeUK's campaigning to un‑rig our tax system & build a fairer economy. Will you join me in powering our movement: a People's Lobby taking on the lobbyists of the mega-corporations, the mega-rich and the mega-corrupt? taxjustice.uk/power-the-pe...

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

I’ve signed this calling for the full Mandelson files, including vetting documents, to be published. Parliament and the public need the full facts, not partial disclosure. Sign here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pu...

Oh this too

Our map is now open for non-UK screenings of the People's Emergency Briefing - with the first event in Dublin. Interested in hosting the film outside of the UK? Register here for more info: www.nebriefing.org/host-the-film #PEBuk #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp

Bereaved family members of Covid victims write to Nigel Farage urging him to sack his Croydon candidate who said COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, with vaccines used to control the population. Reform has not responded to our story revealing his views bylinetimes.com/2026/04/15/r...

Great question! Could the NEB please invite the Prime Minister's Spokesperson here to a PEB? His comments are heading in the right direction. Perhaps a little nudge could help... Keep up the great work!

“It can be different, it must be different, and we’re starting to make it different ourselves.” NYC Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leading from the front - work to tax extreme wealth must start now #TaxTheSuperRich

We’ve joined 130+ organizations in an open letter with 4 clear demands: end the war, tax profiteers, cancel debt and secure food and energy for all. They profit, we pay. It’s time to change that. 350.org/they-profit-...

We are launching a new campaign to fix our broken system, and we need your input. Should we prioritise capping donations, banning MPs from becoming lobbyists or something else? Take our quick 5-question survey and tell us exactly where we should focus our fight: surveys.38degrees.org.uk/to/ROHbDQp0

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

Just seen a screening of @nebriefing.bsky.social's film. Wow! So much to take in. It's scary in places but offers practical solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. There are now 3 screenings planned for Richmond Borough and 100s nationally. Momentum is building fast. www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

You are invited to the People’s Emergency Briefing. The film, hosted by Chris Packham, is based on the landmark November briefing by scientists in Westminster, to raise awareness & encourage people to join in local climate & nature action. Screenings map: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map #PEBUK

You are warmly invited to Holy Trinity Church, Heworth, for a showing of the People’s Emergency Briefing on Tuesday 28 April at 7pm: buytickets.at/holytrinityc... #ClimateJustice #NetZero #ChurchesForClimate

Educating people on the climate crisis has never been more urgent. That’s why it was great to attend the local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing - a powerful short film that aims to help people understand the climate crisis. I’ll keep pushing the Government to protect our environment.
