How powerful do fossil fuel companies feel right now? Energy Transfer, the company that built Dakota Access Pipeline and recently won a big verdict against Greenpeace, wants a North Dakota court to step in and halt a lawsuit against it in the Netherlands. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

Russia’s arms exporter Rosoboronexport’s Director General received "Social Outstanding Award" by war criminal Min Aung Hlaing. Badge of honour drenched in blood. Int'l arm of Rostec has provided fighter jets, helicopters, missiles & UAVs to the military, fuelling its nationwide terror campaign.

ICYM Cutting heat pump and energy efficiency funding is a bad idea. Doing it while attacking middle class climate action is a really bad idea. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...

The juxtaposition of these figures on the high # of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP and the images of Indigenous protestors literally breaking the doors to get in exemplifies the injustice of climate governance. hhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/14/fossil-fuel-lobbyists-cop30

Oh sorry. Russia.

Amazing. If Britain isn't your friend then who the hell do you have left?

Very easy for Treasury to characterise heat pump grants as being kickbacks for middle class families, but they are primarily a mechanism for catalysing a market that will then benefit everyone. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Govt should be increasing not cutting subsidies for heat pumps.

🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it? Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics. @commonswec.parliament.uk

European leaders must reintroduce key protections in the next phase of negotiations. New research commissioned by @amnesty.org & @globalwitness.org shows that the majority of Europeans (75%) want human rights & environmental protection. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

A huge blow for people & the planet. Today, @europarl.europa.eu voted in favour of deregulating corporations. This backsliding will have devastating consequences for workers & the climate. #CSDDD #OmnibusI #EPlenary

A new museum has been set up to celebrate the Benin Bronzes but the monarch opposed the idea. As I’ve said before, this all stems from the root problem—seeing these items just as art, when they mean a lot more to their owners. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... #Nigeria

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Ogoni Nine who were executed by the Nigerian military government in November 1995 after campaigning against widespread oil pollution in the Niger Delta. @amnesty.org calls for the Ogoni Nine to be fully exonerated. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

UPDATE: NSO just hired former Trump ambassador to Israel. They're trying to push Pegasus spyware to 🇺🇸America. Your rights and freedoms are in danger. NSO Group is no friend to the US & has spent years undermining our security & values 1/

And he’s equally right the only route to defeating populism runs through properly tackling the climate crisis. Climate breakdown, food insecurity, and rolling disasters will be weaponised by nationalists and authoritarians everywhere.

Ed Miliband is entirely right about this. There are legitimate critiques of specific climate policies, but much of the criticism is either scientifically illiterate denialism or ‘it’s just too hard’ defeatism - and often it’s both. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Incredibly, people still take this bloke seriously when he tells them he'll be terraforming Mars by easter. He's an inveterate liar, a child.

Musk is certainly fascist-brained but he’s also a dim schoolboy racist. Meanwhile the Tesla board decides whether to give this man $1 trillion
