30 years restoring habitats. One season away from losing it all. Without clear stewardship funding, nature will suffer. Defra and Steve Reed, your delay is costing both wildlife and public trust. Read farmer Graham Denny's open letter ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Today we took our five borough tour to Staten Island, which too often has been caricatured or ignored. The truth is that the story of Staten Island is the story of New York — a city built by generations of immigrants, where everyone wants to be able to afford a dignified life.

Instead fixing Thames Water at the billpayers’ expense just to flog it off to another vulture capitalist … Why not simply bring it back into public ownership? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Hey! I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Companies like Shell make billions turning oil and gas into plastic - so they’re trying to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action on plastic pollution

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

A few highlights from Lib Dem results so far: * Gained control of 3 county councils; party has never run more * Higher national vote share than Conservatives for first time ever (BBC/PNS) * Won more seats than Conservatives for second year in a row - and nearly as many as Con plus Lab combined (!)

Labour’s reaction to Runcorn will probably be to mimic Reform. This is like a brewery finding that people are switching from beer to coca-cola, so deciding to make the beer taste more like coke. Instead they should focus on making better beer.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky

Westminster MPs debated a petition to rejoin the EU, with many backing closer ties. Labour’s red lines remain, but momentum for change is growing | Louise Brown @northeastbylines.co.uk

Unbelievable. Rachel Reeves is thinking about cutting a tax on US tech giants to appease Trump and his band of billionaires. If anything we should be taxing them more - not less! Agree? Sign today: 38d.gs/techgiantsta...

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Net zero in 2050 is impossible reckons Badenoch. Wonder if she believed 25 years ago that it was impossible to run an electric car, heat a house with a heat pump or wind and pump storage provide much of our energy need in 2025? Where's the ambition?

Tim Farron urges Ed Miliband to change energy plans to stop landlords being incentivised to repurpose homes into holiday lets

If they're criminalizing people who are against this, they will absolutely criminalize people who are against the destruction of our planet. See y'all in El Salvador.

I’ve just asked my MP to sign the parliamentary petition for a Fossil Fuel Treaty - a fair global plan to rapidly phase out coal, oil and gas. Write to yours here: act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4267?ut...

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

Champagne Fascist Tice: The automotive industry will continue to decline until we scrap "net stupid zero!" Labour's Sarah Jones: Here we go, on the one hand he's telling us net zero is a massive cone, and yet, he owns a company that's investing in electric car charging ports. #ukpolitics

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Listen to this interview with John Major. Starts at ~12:25.

Nice to be rare Labour person among a sea of Tories (many blasts from journalistic past) at launch of Michael Heseltine’s two books. Aged 91, ramrod straight and still great speaker. Highlights Liverpool, Europe (don’t give up fighting to get back), need to reimagine give and love for Anne.

Nigel Farage wants to sell the NHS to Donald Trump #ukpolitics #donaldtrump #uspolitics

The Govt won't be able to fix the crisis in our NHS without sorting out primary care. To put it in some clear context : about 1.1 million people who attempted to contact their GP in December could not even get through. That's just not good enough.

The fabulous @mattgreencomedy.com came up with this sketch. So great to collaborate with him once again. Take a look! #liztruss #politics

You might not think you're in the 1%, but "the richest 1% – about 77 million people, including all those earning more than $140,000 (£114,000) a year – are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution each year as the poorest half of humanity."

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

Voter memories and patience are short-lived, and unexpected crises like the Southport riots can throw plans off course. Starmer’s popular support was thin & now he faces the unpleasant choices of real government. Stephen McNair on Starmer's first six months. 🧵

“Please give my daughter justice.” In an exclusive interview by the BBC’s Samira Hussain for #Newsnight, the father of Harshita Brella, who was murdered and her body found in the boot of a car in East London, pleads for justice “any way possible.”

An honour to meet Philippe Lazzarini, CEO of UNRWA, to discuss their work to support vulnerable Palestinians with aid, education and more across the region. I'm glad UK Government has been steadfast in their support and urge them to continue this stance.

"Sara was known to social care from before she was born." Children's Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, says social care should have known Sara Sharif was six times more likely to be killed after being known to social services. #Newsnight

✍️ Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land By Geoff Thompson @geoffshumba.bsky.social

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
