👏 Get 👏 Ahead 👏 Of 👏 Tipping 👏 Points 👏 It's so difficult to predict when real systems change will happen. But every individual, team, or organization can get ahead. More here on past and future tipping points: criticalmass-sustainability.com/2025/07/14/b... Full Trellis article below 👇

The encouraging trajectory of battery storage. For anyone in need of the data and illustrations that energy security through fossil fuel expansion is a losing argument... Whether on economic, stability, environmental, technology, or any other grounds. www.iea.org/commentaries...

A good summary of where we are in decarbonizing the UK and playing the broader role sustainability needs us to across the environment, society, and economy globally. @greenlibdems.org.uk @earlrussell.bsky.social @pippaheylings.bsky.social 1/4 www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

Good to see more focus on transition planning across climate and environmental standards. Systems are changing but often under the surface and certainly not at the speed or scale required. 1/2 @greenlibdems.org.uk trellis.net/article/isos...

Will this be one of the most important reports of the century? Only if we get the roadmap right. I’ve recently outlined a possible plan to a UK wellbeing economy: www.libdemvoice.org/a-uk-wellbei... @greenlibdems.org.uk @socialliberalforum.bsky.social

Great to hear @rozsavage.bsky.social championing a wellbeing economy and how deeply aligned with liberal and Lib Dem values it is. We are at our best, as Liberal Democrats, when we have radical vision, challenge the status quo, AND have the plan to match. 1/3 www.libdemvoice.org/what-is-the-...

Beautiful windy day in Forster Park as we approach the one week to go mark 🔶🗳️ Catford South and Lewisham are counting down to a better politics. A genuine, positive, and effective opposition 🧡

@libdems.org.uk will always be there for anyone renting - and push for systemic reforms to the whole housing market Whether it's the Act itself, licensing, abolishing leasehold, building genuinely affordable housing, making sure council tenants can access the council, or beyond...

It's becoming harder and harder to keep media and political attention on what should be national scandals like these. Scandals that have proven solutions locally and nationally. Solutions that will hopefully come through in next week's Council, Welsh, and Scottish elections.

Sun cream on and posters up in Catford South 🔶🌞 Postal votes are being completed and the days are counting down until May 7th and the chance for a positive, effective alternative in Lewisham 🧡

Fantastic day for an (iced!) coffee stop at Abbotshall Community Centre in between speaking to postal voters 🧡🌞

Better than nothing. But too little and late. We need a complete redesign of electricity pricing to leverage the sheer economics of renewable energy. For genuine energy security, affordability, and sustainability. @greenlibdems.org.uk @earlrussell.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lewisham Mayoral booklet arrived with postal votes landing and just over 2 weeks until polling day 🧡 Our full plan here: www.lewishamlibdems.org.uk/josh

The challenges facing Lewisham are the exact reason we could be a world-leading Council. Lewisham can be clean, sustainable, safe, affordable, thriving, and be genuinely led by you. My thoughts shared with My London 👇 www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

We are at our best, as Liberal Democrats, when we have radical vision, challenge the status quo, AND have the plan to match. I've written here for @libdemvoice.org on how we could construct and communicate a plan for a Wellbeing Economy in the UK: www.libdemvoice.org/a-uk-wellbei...

This could be huge if the government finally listens to @libdems.org.uk calls and decouples the gas and electricity price

Thank you @salamandernews.org for listening ahead of London's local elections in May! If there was ever a time bring people together, start politics from a place of kindness, and aim to be world-leading on tackling the climate emergency, it's now. www.salamandernews.org/josh-matthew...

Less than three weeks to go until polling day 🗳️ More and more people realise that there is a positive, effective alternative for Catford South and an opposition for the whole of Lewisham 🔶

Looking forward to joining The More Natural Capital Coalition and @cprelondon.bsky.social on Thursday for a cross-party and cross-London discussion ahead of May's elections! @greenlibdems.org.uk You can sign up here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/10-pledges...

The economy isn't working for too many people. And too few people in positions of power realise just how deep that failing goes. Here's the start of a plan to a Wellbeing Economy for the UK. @greenlibdems.org.uk @socialliberalforum.bsky.social criticalmass-sustainability.com/2026/04/10/a...

Bringing people together. Doing the hard work. Fixing things all year round… Locally and in Parliament 🧡

A good article framing trust as an OUTCOME of responsibility rather than a goal... as well as breaking down the proverbial silos across corporate sustainability trellis.net/article/its-...

The vast majority understand that economies should be built around more than GDP and growth at all costs. The need to focus on wellbeing. Questioning the growth of what, where, and for who make instinctive sense. @greenlibdems.org.uk @socialliberalforum.bsky.social trellis.net/article/grow...

Whoever you vote for, we’ll always be the ones knocking on your door, asking you how you’re doing, responding to your messages, and helping you 🧡

It's amazing how often this comes up on people's doorsteps. Even if you don't agree on a topic or decision, when people feel heard, feel like you care, and have conviction... then most any difference of opinion can be overcome in a kind and productive way.

“When you have a half-arsed position, that drives unpopularity. People are not looking for half-baked politicians, they are looking for people with authenticity." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

An important report on the links between mental health and climate change - as well as the interventions proven to make a positive impact: www.gov.uk/government/p... @greenlibdems.org.uk

The Conservatives know it is all nonsense. 90% extracted and falling by 7% a year. With investment in new fields will be 95% gone by 2050 and without will be 97% used up by the same time. This is a price crisis and we are a price taker and 80% of all oil and gas is sold on international markets.

The north sea O&G argument is a total non-starter for energy security and the cost of living. A great outline in this UK POST report @greenlibdems.org.uk @earlrussell.bsky.social post.parliament.uk/north-sea-oi...

While the UK happiness score hasn't fallen by as large a % as some, our dramatic drop in the rankings should give us food for thought around our inequality, education, politics, local environments, tech, media, housing, health, and so many other systems www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Terrific event to launch a terrific report by @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social 💚 Read it here: climateemergency.uk/press-releas...

From Conference to Catford South 🔶

🇪🇺 Good to see in numbers. When the EU's CSRD Omnibus "streamlining" was announced, it was clear the largest firms would still affect smaller firms in their value chains... and those out of scope would still see huge value in the data @greenlibdems.org.uk www.esgtoday.com/90-of-compan...

The duty of care for mental health at work is failing I spoke to the @libdems.org.uk conference about how we can change that as part of our terrific new policy on whole-person mental health 🔶 I've also published my thoughts here: www.libdemvoice.org/he-duty-of-c...

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk outlining that the @libdems.org.uk are the party with the vision AND plan 🔶 One of the major reasons I knew I’d made a good decision in joining, for example our roadmaps to decarbonise or rejoin the EU

Trump’s destabilising effect on climate and nature hasn’t gone away So many are caught up in his horrific attacks. And his aggression will deepen the environmental emergency His withdrawal and sabotaging of global cooperation will be disastrous unless the UK and world step up

Always great to visit @libdems4er.bsky.social 🧡

In under two months I’ll be standing for Mayor of Lewisham and to represent Catford South on the Council 🔶 🌳 Cleaner, greener, safer neighbourhoods 🏡 Genuinely affordable, decent housing ☕ Thriving small businesses and community 🌟 Proper management and empowered residents

Sickening that this barely made the news in the UK 😔
