More on the hunger strikers - when those against genocide are the “terrorists” we are in a dark dark place

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'The UK is letting these people die'

Why have we seen such repression of climate activists around the world? Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

Breaking: CEO of Southern Water citizen’s arrested for public nuisance after spilling millions of bio beads on Camber Sands earlier this month. City of London police arrived promptly and took our evidence of the CEOs crimes. Read our release for more: www.citizensarrestnetwork.org/press/2025/1...

Breaking: Enquest’s CEO, Amjad Bseisu, citizen’s arrested in central London. The group surrounded the suspect and called the police, saying they have evidence he is committing crimes of public nuisance. Updates to follow.

The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years

This puts the "solar farm is spoiling the view where I walk my dogs" complaints into perspective

One glance at the top articles & I gave up reading about #COP30 before I’d even started (and that’s @theguardian.com) 🌎 🥩 10 years ago I felt hope with Paris 5 years ago I felt angry but motivated with the rise in climate activism Today I feel numbness, apathy… & warm

The planning and infrastructure bill is a "full-spectrum assault on nature protection" So where are the conservation charities? Where is the resistance? Where is our 'nation of nature lovers'?

The nature NGO’s @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk should be mobilising an army! Instead they are cowering in trenches with their millions (pounds & members) We need something new. A radical, grassroots movement that actually fights for nature.

Breaking: Group of women place CEO of Anglian Water under Citizen’s Arrest for one hour outside Coulsdon South Station this morning with evidence the CEO may be committing crimes of public nuisance. When British Transport Police finally turned up they escorted Thurston away, but did not arrest him.

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Huge news! Red Tractor = false advertising. I broke this original story in The Times over 2 years ago…. And River Action took it to the Advertising Standards Authority

YES! 👏 When govt & regulators continue to allow water bosses to pollute our rivers & seas, threaten our health & hike our bills (all while receiving huge bonuses)… … the people bring justice to those responsible ✊ @citizensarrestnet.bsky.social www.citizensarrestnetwork.org/press/2025/1...

The UK should start planning for high levels of global warming — at least 2C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 and 4C by 2100. "We believe that can’t be ruled out,” said Baroness Brown of @thecccuk.bsky.social, on the risk of 4C by the end of the century. Story: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane! www.euroveg.eu/european-par...

Someone please reassure me that the apple blossom I saw this morning is perfectly normal & not another sign we’re hurtling faster towards climate & biodiversity collapse Please? (Blackberries in June gave me nightmares)

The age of warnings is over. The climate and nature crisis is already here, threatening our food, health and national security. On 27 Nov, top UK experts deliver the official briefing our leaders urgently need. Make sure your MP attends❗️ #TimeToStepUp www.nebriefing.org

Let's empty the jails so we can fill them with octogenarians who care about genocide. Because that's the real threat to society. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

BREAKING Defend Our Juries website taken down as attack on freedom of speech worsens - blocking access to important legal info for protestors. This is what happens when the Government uses anti-terror law to silence dissent. www.wedonotcomply.org <— legal info here instead!

LIFT THE BAN www.wedonotcomply.org Watch as this young man explains in 30seconds why the de-proscribing of Palestine Action is a democratic and moral imperative. This is the reason hundreds are willing to risk absurd “terrorism” charges for holding simple truthful signs.

BREAKING: Scientists are occupying the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) in London. They are demanding capital requirements for fossil fuels to urgently address climate breakdown. 🧵1/10

Huge love & respect for the brilliant individuals in civil disobedience against a government who would rather arrest peaceful protestors than genocidal war criminals 🪧 ❤️‍🔥

May 16th - Sentencing Solidarity update POLITICAL PRISONERS RELEASED! All nine Just Stop Oil defendants receive non-custodial sentences, with a mix of suspended sentences and “time served” while waiting for trial. #FreePoliticalPrisoners 1/3

Wonderful to meet so many scientists and activists today - great speeches on the importance of following the science not the hustlers and lobbyists (aka also hustlers) also a piece of chewing gum evolving into a trilobite

🌍 UK scientists stage historic climate protest at parliament Chris Packham joins over 150 British experts rallying in London to demand urgent, science-based climate policy By Brian McHugh @brianmchugh.bsky.social @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

I went to Parliament today with 150 other scientists to #BringScienceToPolitics. As Sir David King said in his speech, we are currently still accelerating into the polycrisis and we need those in power to put the brakes on immediately! #ActOnFacts @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

11. We’re paying twice for this madness. There would be no sheep on the moor if it were not for lavish subsidies, as they are highly unproductive and loss-making. Our taxes pay both for the ecological destruction and for the feeble remedy. Round and round the money goes. Pop goes the ecosystem.

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

It’s day 1 of #NoMeatMay! We’re starting with some tips for easy swaps. Beef should be nowhere near your plate if you care about a liveable future & thriving biodiversity! The land & water use & CO2 & CH4 emissions are eye watering! So switch it up for one of these delicious options.

Fence photos are THE most graphic way of showing how effectively sheep kill nature.

I really wish they'd called it the Intergovernmental Panel on Nature Instead of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

Following this victory, we’re calling on the Labour Gov to: 1⃣ finally accept the judgment and scrap the regulations 2⃣ review all arrests and prosecutions under the regs 3⃣ carry out a comprehensive review into all protest laws that have been passed in recent years
