We're delighted that tireless advocate for the natural world, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social CBE, will be opening the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster Central Hall on 27th November. Chris speaking with @bbclaurak.bsky.social earlier👇 Please make sure your MP is attending: nebriefing.org #NEB

Cutting the insulation schemes that are one of the best ways to permanently reduce energy bills for low income families would be an eyewateringly daft & counterproductive way of seeking to reduce energy bills, as well as driving up emissions & leading to mass job cuts in the insulation sector 🙄

In 2021, the Gov warned we “could lose control of our climate for good” beyond 1.5°C. Now, the CCC says “prepare for 2°C by 2050” This huge shift in just 4 years calls for a new plan. MPs can only make sound decisions to protect us if they’re briefed. Is your MP attending? www.nebriefing.org

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Thank you @greenjennyjones.bsky.social for tabling this plea for dignity to be debated in the Lords And @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social for having done so in the Commons Asylum seekers are human beings who deserve dignity - our asylum system must no longer be a death trap, & we must #KnowTheirNames

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

The worlds richest man has killed 400,000 kids, by trashing the aid programme of the world's richest nation to the poorest on earth....😪😪😪 The billionaire class are an out of control death cult.....

How many of us are aware what the overturning of AMOC (more popularly recognised as the Gulf Stream) will mean for all life?

Teresa made this beautiful embroidery for Ed Miliband, recognising the immense pressure he must come under from his colleagues, & encouraging him not to sink billions into carbon capture & storage & to put money instead into a mass insulation scheme & solar panels on every suitable roof 💚🙏🏽💚🙏🏽💚🙏🏽💚🙏🏽💚

“The mayor is clear that Sir Mark and his senior leadership need to reframe their approach to accelerate the pace of cultural reform and deliver the necessary structural change across the force.” “Anti-black outcomes in policing are not random. They have been built in”

The @tuc.org.uk has voted to back a Year of Trade Union Climate Action & #COP30 in Brazil is a key moment of global solidarity.

Poisoning people & nature with toxic plumes is fine, says the Court of Appeal 💔 Incinerators are climate-destroying, polluting monsters, the last thing our precious Jurassic coast needs. Huge love to everyone in Portland, Dorset who fought so hard. We honour you. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Spectator are confused. It's not going to be cost free. Billionaires are going to pay more. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Wow. The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll. They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth. Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!

Protest is fundamental to our democracy - we rightly celebrate people like Nelson Mandela who changed the world through protest But this govt is clamping down on our protest rights with increasingly authoritarian laws Thanks @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social for making this point so powerfully

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. Let's get to it. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This has been a really bad day for UK government environmental policy

Seeing UK Labour try to claim Zohran Mamdani’s victory as a win for their political stances etc, is darkly funny, given that if he was British, he would have been hounded out of Labour asap, that not a single thing one his platform they would be onboard with.

Notwithstanding its domestic anti-nature policies, this atrocious government is now refusing to support critical climate and nature initiatives abroad I have no words....🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it. We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life. We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

Well said Zack! #BoycottIsrael

ALL the Magnitsky Awards winners are incredible, brave & deserving. But this recognition of Laura Souief, whose prolonged hunger strike in support of her incarcerated son, Alaa, is very special. Huge congratulations to both of them. @billbrowder.bsky.social

One A&E consultant said: “We're not just running out of cubicles; we're running out of corridors. And we‘ve run out of trollies." Govt must recognise the true scale of need in our NHS this winter and act to support the services we all rely upon. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Much talk about how train services can be made safer in the wake of the Huntingdon attack. Perhaps stop treating mental health services as the poor relation within the NHS?

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

"Polanski has blended anger with hope. “Hope is much more difficult to sell than outrage, but he’s finding a way to do it that connects with people.” Let's make hope normal again! observer.co.uk/news/politic...

This man is clearly deranged

NOAA aerial imagery is coming in. Hurricane Melissa literally turned western Jamaica from green to brown. Vegetation damage is immense — recovery will take years.

The fact that we went nearly 20 years without a sub-900 mb Atlantic hurricane and now we’ve had two in just the last two seasons.

Hurricane Melissa’s historic journey to becoming one of the most intense tropical cyclones ever recorded on Earth. A storm we won't forget anytime soon.

Today, EXTINCTION REBELLION TURNS 7 YEARS OLD 💚 Love & rage

#GoodNews for #biodiversity. But we need a lot more like this - and #LandReform to make it easier www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/environ...

As US steps away from action on climate crisis, it falls to others to assume global environmental leadership.. Are there leaders who understand the urgency? Can they seize the opportunity of #COP30Brazil to build a coalition of committed countries determined to turn back the climate deniers?

State support for UK banks Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008 £895bn QE State is the lender of last resort £85k bank deposit safety guarantee PFI profits £22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England Who else gets this level of state support?
