Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. news.sky.com/story/migran...

Next week the government will present its new climate plan. Time is short – we urgently need a plan that delivers. Will Keir Starmer take this opportunity to lead with courage and deliver for people, as well as the planet? leftfootforward.org/2025/10/star...

Keir Starmer will attend the climate talks in Brazil after all. The right decision. I hope the government supports efforts to restore rainforests at COP30 - both tropical and temperate! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"We can’t say it strongly enough: for planning reform to succeed for both people and nature, this newt-bashing, snail-baiting, spider-hating scapegoating must stop." @richardbenwell.bsky.social, chief exec @wclnews.bsky.social, outlines what's needed to create balance between nature and planning:

London Nature Recovery Strategy consultn to 29 Oct. bit.ly/3ISs201 Respond, support 3 local sites. PM195 Dairy Fields, N17 We've planted trees, seen increased biodiversity, more butterflies & birds. PM1196 Pinkham Way. Threatened by development. PM113 Hornsey Waterworks Once had birds & bats.

you know your area has been gentrified when you see squirrels eating croissants

Britain needs quality homes and infrastructure, and it can achieve both without weaking environmental protections. Yet ministers have spent 2025 blaming bats, snails and nature laws for housing delays instead of tackling unaffordable housing and bad developer behaviour. www.lbc.co.uk/article/labo...

UK MPs “overwhelmingly overestimate the time period humanity has left to bend the temperature curve”, according to new research published this week. Is your MP one of these? They need to attend the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November Go to: www.nebriefing.org to send them an invitation

Farage's deputy Richard Tice accepted stay at French Riviera home of Lubov Chernukhin, listing the purpose as “discussing gas power in the UK” Reform are wining & dining corporate fossil fuel interests with their pledges to smash climate policy: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The release of this new film in early 2026 should create quite an impact, in setting out the seriousness of the ecological challenges now upon us, while inspiring understanding as to the positive choices we can make in meeting them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Renewable energy surpassed coal as the world’s primary energy source in the first half of 2025, according to a new report. The milestone was led by solar and wind power adoption in China, with the US and EU relying more on fossil fuels in the first half of 2025 than in the previous year."

We're in Manchester at the Conservative Party conference, reminding MPs of their commitments to climate action and why they must continue to champion nature.

A brilliant piece on what the UK's Climate Change Act does, why it's inspired action around the world, and how the Tories were key to creating it - despite their current leader now wanting to destroy it bsky.app/profile/drsi...

My good friend in Alcala de los Gazules, Bob Lloyd, has just posted this excellent analysis of Ai on his FB page. It's so good that I have to share it here.

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Kemi Badenoch's pledge to scrap the Climate Change Act has now been condemned by Theresa May, Lord Deben (John Gummer), Alok Sharma, the Confederation of British Industry, the Church of England, the Catholic Church - all previously mainstays of the Tory party: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ed Miliband turns on Elon Musk. “He incites violence on our steeets. He calls for the overthrow of our government. He disseminates disinformation. He thinks he can tell us how to run Britain. We have a message for Elon Musk: ‘Get the hell out of our politics and our country!’”

Keir Starmer must get this right - real climate action must tackle inequalities by delivering warmer homes, lower bills, new jobs and sustainable growth. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/sep/26/climate-change-scepticism-is-rising-will-starmer-hold-firm-or-buckle

Wildfires are no longer a distant problem; they’re on London’s doorstep. I’ve given the London Fire Brigade record investment, and we’re working with partners to ensure the capital is as prepared as possible for the impact of the climate crisis, wildfires and extreme heat.

100 Women's Rights Organisations, including @rapecrisis.bsky.social, @refugecharity.bsky.social, & @evawuk.bsky.social have signed a letter warning that attempts to link rape & violence against women & girls to immigration is a racist distraction. They urge the govt to address dangerous narrative

“It seems those so-called legitimate concerns now include the fear asylum seekers are coming over here to rape our women and girls.”  Today’s col. on the anti-migrant protests and the big lie being peddled by media, politicians, and far right alike. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Destroying a national seed bank is an act of erasure, intended to sever the generational ties between farmers and their land.” Israeli forces have reportedly attacked a seed bank in the West Bank city of Hebron, destroying equipment used to reproduce heirloom seeds.

Fantastic to see @FerryLaneN17 leading the way in waste prevention! Today they were recognised at EcoPark House for their outstanding work in the @connectNLWA In the Know programme - showing how north London schools can make a real difference. Proud of our Haringey schools!💚♻️

Francesca Albanese will be remembered as one of the bravest women of the era, standing against genocide despite the daunting forces arrayed against her. Sanctioning her, rather than the war criminals who are starving and murdering Palestinians is another moment of shame for the US trib.al/Oe77sph

big climate lobby today. David Lammy's out of the country, we met his office head Sian Eiles here outside the Jewel Tower

🚨 We’re in Westminster with our local action groups and supporters, alongside thousands of people from across the country, to call on MPs to protect what matters most – our climate, nature, health and communities. ✊📣#ActNowChangeForever

This is one of the largest environmental lobbies to date, and it’s happening around 100 days before the government is legally required to publish its new climate plan for the UK. It must listen to us and act now, so we can shape a future where people and planet thrive together.

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
