Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, told Al Jazeera that Israel has “no right” to intercept the Sumud Freedom Flotilla in international waters. Her comments come as sailors in the flotilla brace for attacks from Israel. 2/3

It’s no surprise given the attitude of the CCC’s Chief Exec to personal responsibility/action and diet, as demonstrated in the recent Guardian Climate Assembly.

“The world will remember Jane Goodall for her compassion for animals, her intelligent mind that sought to educate the public about animal welfare, and her passion for making the world a safer, kinder and fairer place for animals” 🖤 #vegan www.humaneworld.org/en/news/jane...

Thank-you Jane Goodall RIP

The biggest problem is greed' says conservationist Jane #Goodall by my colleague @SamBaker Lovely interview with one of the world's greatest #conservationists p.dw.com/p/3Lw1W?maca=e…

The antibiotic resistance time bomb is close to detonation but when did a politician or journalist address the biggest cause? @veganhorizon.substack.com does. Scared to read the truth & what you can do about it?

Contrast this self-interested fossil-foolery by a trade unionist with a one-track mind: www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62zl95kk70o with this exposé of the climate mess that politicians are pushing us into with actions that will result in worse outcomes: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Shame on @theguardian.com for publishing this article, about soya production in the Amazon, without mentioning that well over 90% of this crop is grown for feeding farmed animals. Those who eat eggs & the flesh of pigs & chickens are eating the Amazon.

Imagine boasting about how pally you are with leading figures in Israel - a state engaged in genocide, torture, illegal occupation and apartheid. All in a day's work for Richard Tice.

Who’s the liar? Thunberg or Netanyahu?

It’s a lot easier to blame all your problems on <X corporation> than looking at something far more personal like your own eating habits. The most egregious part is that they can’t own up to their own shit, they have the audacity to try and accuse you of being elitist

"Today, we clear a soccer field’s worth of tropical forest every six seconds, a loss dramatically worsened by humanity’s growing hunger for meat" Wean ourselves off meat now, or the switch to a Pliocene climate that's locked in will do it for us www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"We are, quite literally, gambling with the future of our planet- for the sake of hamburgers" - Peter Singer, Animal Liberation

“When you eat a burger, you’re not just eating a cow,”you’re eating macaws and jaguars and the rest of the cast of Rio. You’re eating the Amazon. You’re eating the earth.” Michael Grunwald. Good that The Guardian is seeing the cows & sheep in the room. It should do that much more often.

Contrails are avoidable sky vandalism contributing a large proportion of aviation’s climate change impact. This podcast explains how to stop them at a cost of $5 per flight.

Our anguished cries for mercy are only heard by those who are paid to torture & kill us. For how long must our resistance be ignored? Denied a voice in your society. we trust those of you with a semblance of decency to carry our voice. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

UK Labour Government to be challenged in court over its unethical relaxation of an animal welfare law that is already far too lax & weakly enforced. @joshfg.bsky.social we need to stop factory farming & not make it more cruel & destructive than it already is.

This man clearly has a mental health problem needing some serious treatment. What he said to the UN must rank as one of the most bizarre & fact-free political speeches ever made.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The expansion of Heathrow & Gatwick airports, in opposition to advice from the Climate Change Committee advice, is misplaced hopeism that the holy grail of “sustainable aviation fuel” will counter the otherwise huge increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

The BBC website brilliantly displays politics ability to ignore the long term, in this case on climate change, to make decisions that are self immolating in the name of apparent short term interest

The deregulation gravy train: more evidence that today’s UK Government has become the Tory Party of the 1990s, or worse: “Ministers tell Environment Agency to wave planning applications through…do as little as legally possible to prevent approvals for housebuilding”

Another act of climate vandalism by the UK misgovernment. Its worship at the altar of growth is in defiance of science & the Climate Change Committee’s advice.

Exactly. We need politicians with the vision of a better world where we cherish nature and each other. Humanity has gotten so divorced from the natural world that some people think it doesn't matter what happens to it. But unless we change, nature will eventually bite back and show who's in charge.

95% fewer emissions. 0% animal skin. This is the future of cars 🚘

What If animal farming were a country? It would be the world’s 2nd-largest climate polluter - more than the entirety of the USA’s profligate contribution to climate change…& animal agriculture isn’t even needed for human nutrition. @veganhorizon.substack.com exposes truth …again.

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

How long should a podcast episode be? As long as it needs to be. But I draw the line at listening to podcasts over an hour unless I know that the host is one who really wants to know what the interviewee has to say …rather than hosts who rattle on with long-winded questions & long soliloquies

Why love one but eat the other? 🤔

"Eurovision is supposed to stand for peace, shared humanity, and lots of fun. But these values cannot coexist with complicity in genocide.” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/eurovis...

Day 10. I'm in Bristol. Later in Birmingham. Tonight in Manchester. The Green Party is on the move. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Moving & inspiring. The power of story, a TedX talk by Giles Duley, an award winning humanitarian photographer who, through his work with UNHCR, focuses his lens on the lives of refugees & tells their stories. It’s essential viewing for all those who are against people fleeing to safety.

I don't see how I'm not voting Green next time around. Corbyn was right about a lot of things, so far Polanski has been right about EVERYTHING. Disclaimer: no one is right about everything, but you get the jist.

“A new report by the Food Foundation says that a UK-wide shift towards plant-based diets could reduce projected species extinction over the next century by 58%, thereby protecting biodiversity, the environment and the food system itself.” @joshfg.bsky.social please prod the gov to act on this.

Thanks @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for exposing the extreme right-wing, deregulation-addicted, protest-stifling, vindictive & environmentally destructive influence at the centre of the UK government.

Fishermen talk about 'catch of the day'. But for the fish, it's the 'worst day of their life'.

A powerful positive step for all #Humanist organisations, to show our “concern for other sentient animals” is serious, will be to switch all event catering to 100% plant-based 🌱 Other charities and NGOs, even those not focused on non-human animals, are already doing this 🥳

Futuro Vegetal activists arrested for throwing paint on Barcelona's Sagrada Familia in a protest over their “government's ‘complicity’ in the wildfires that scorched southern Spain's Iberian Peninsula. They also said roughly 70% of the country's wildfires are related to livestock (sic) farming.”

Environmentalism that ignores animal agriculture is greenwashed denial.

Well done India, you totally get it. Rest of the world? Take note: this is how it's done. Cutting tax on plant based options is the way. It's both ethically and environmentally the better choice www.greenqueen.com.h... #GoVegan #India

This looks like a great move to stop vandals from harming nature & animals whilst reducing flooding & climate change. However, it’s crucial that it’s also enforced strongly against transgressors.

morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gree... The Green Partys Zack Polanski & Carla Denyer are at the TUC. Where is Starmer? Labour have abandoned working people.

People are exhausted. Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved. Blaming migrants won’t fix this. Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services. #DrawTheLine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🎉 Lots of people have said they joined the party following this interview! 💚 So in case you missed it: here's how we're going to lower people's bills, protect our NHS and fight off the far right. youtu.be/1KsgxOrgbOA?...

All these people saying "no I didn't know that" doesn't surprise me. Ask any Reform supporter to explain any Reform policy that isn't about immigration and they're stumped.
