Turning our backs on the Climate Change Act is turning our backs on the future. Scrapping it would be a reckless retreat from climate leadership, threatening both our seas and the UK’s green economy 🌍🌊🔽 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scrapping the Climate Change Act would be an act of national self-harm🚨 It inspired laws across the globe, billions in green investment, and a promise to protect future generations🌱 That promise must not be broken⛓️‍💥 Read more👇 www.wcl.org.uk/ripping-up-c... #ClimateChangeAct

Putting aside the politics, it’s nice to hear our leaders using words like “immoral” to draw a line in the sand. It’s been a while. Morality is what makes us different. It’s a privilege and a burden and everything inbetween. But without it, we would tear each other apart.

“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...

Powerful stuff. And he's right. It's not about stopping people from making a living (despite what many of our adversaries claim). It's about making choices now that will secure the future for ocean life and all those who depend on it. You've got only 2 weeks left to help: only.one/act/uk-mpa-c...

🌊 GOOD NEWS: The UK has begun the journey to ratify the High Seas Treaty, a landmark agreement to protect our global ocean. But we must move fast! With 56 countries already ratified (and 60 needed for it to come into force) the UK risks being left behind 🧵 1/4 🔽 www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Years and years of work is going to be undone if we go back on net zero, at a time when the biggest push is needed to meet our climate and nature targets. These targets aren't just to protect the planet, its to ensure our survival & the future generations survival. Plus they're the bare minimum!

📣 Scottish Govt has announced new rules for protecting its offshore marine protected areas. They are a big step forward, but don't go far enough. Our campaigns director Alyx Elliott has the story 👇 Stay with us in this fight. We will keep pushing until ALL MPAs are truly protected 🌊

Now the UK must follow suit! ✊ There is no question: destructive fishing has no place in protected waters, in the UK or in Europe. We are calling on the government to BAN destructive bottom trawling in all UK protected areas, once & for all. Join us here: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

But govt can still act. Help tell them to save our seas from destructive fishing👉 act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

If you missed the @therestpolitics.bsky.social LIVESTREAM on UK-EU deal here it is alastaircampbell.org/2025/05/405-...

GB News : "Brexit is a good thing?" Brexit Fisherman : "It's been a disaster" "But exports?" "Red tape is 100 fold, our main market is the EU" "But EU fisherman?" "They didn't come here" "But charge more?" "They can buy in the EU" "How would you vote?" "I'd vote for Remain in a heart beat"
