Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

The Big Beautiful Green Bill video from Friends of the Earth in the Netherlands: youtu.be/DAGE2wtxxuM Make Earth Cool Again What does it say? 👇 ✅ Companies adhere to international agreements, just like everyone else. ✅ Polluters pay, and going green pays off. ✅ Citizens receive a helping hand.

UK approves UK’s largest solar farm (in Reform UK heartland Lincolnshire) - "Solar is our cheapest source of energy - it’s no wonder it's Britain’s favourite" says Paul Morozzo at @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/n...

Over 90% of Reform funding comes from the fossil fuel industry. Draw your own conclusions people ...

I dream of the distraction of divisive politics ending, so we can focus on the real challenges and start to discuss how to proceed.

"The West is not doing Ukraine a favour by helping it resist aggression; it is Ukraine doing the West a favour." Fundamental point in @ldfreedman.bsky.social's latest. The true 'realist' position on Ukraine is that we should support Ukraine. samf.substack.com/p/as-long-as...

I believe this rationale is part of why members of Citizen’s Climate Europe support the Climate Income policy in our advocacy. Morally it taxes the destructive behaviour of the wealthy and treats everyone equally. A fair and effective climate policy (modest wealth tax)

Renewables have cut fossil-fuel imports for more than 100 countries, saving hundreds of billions of dollars, report @iea.org - including UK, Germany and Chile etc Story by @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social www.carbonbrief.org/iea-renewabl...

FACTCHECK: Claire Coutinho claims UK gas power only costs £55/MWh… …but she is ignoring a few small details: 🤫 Gas prices always rise in winter 🤫 Gas plants cost money to build 🤫 CO2 causes economic damages THREAD with receipts 1/8

There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

Which parties in the UK are warming up with similar authoritarian lies, what evidence are we being asked to reject ? Renewables bad - fossil fuels good ! Human rights bad (ECHR) - less rights good ! good for who ?

EU countries prove more renewables make electricity cheaper.

Electricity pricing in the UK (as across all of Europe) is complex. Renewables reduce the cost of electricity, the more renewables we have, the more prices will reduce. The more we electrify, the more we reduce emissions.

Independent media reporting on British values ❤️

A key piece of understanding about the the energy we need vs the waste energy and pollution that fossil fuels create.

We are in the foothills of a solar-wind-battery civilisation. This is our best chance of avoiding catastrophe. But it threatens the profits of fossil fuel companies & nations - so these are pouring money into right-wing populism to stop the transition. This seems to me the biggest story in politics.

Today's update on yesterday's Trump authoritarian actions. It was a bumper day, so I just do the top 10 :-/ youtu.be/kt3Kj7QBlfc?...

REFUK and Tories solving energy prices 🤣🤣🤣 Similar to how they fixed the NHS and the economy with brexit.

The brexit party ... “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Their strategy rolls on: ECHR, ILR, DOGE, Climate denial, ... time to wake up and smell the coffee

It’s quite normal for legacy (fossil fuel) industries to delay superior solutions. The more we realise who their servants are, the better armed we are to choose what will inevitably be cleaner and cheaper. Especially if we can do it in time for our economy to compete in this new world.

Great podcast, straightforward facts dispelling common misconceptions propagated by mainstream media. Plus clear steps to improve the reality for everyone about the immigration our country needs.

“Our women, our daughters are scared to walk the streets,” claimed Tommy Robinson at the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally. Suddenly, the radical right seems concerned about women’s safety - but this isn’t genuine care. They’re recycling an old, racist trope. Watch and share.

Two great science communicators talking about climate ❤️ My favourite "Science Guy" (Bill Nye) clip youtu.be/1-zSlhWk3-w for balance Favourite Michael Mann quote on the fossil fuel era: "The stone age didn't end because of a lack of stones."

Finally PM attacks Farage and the Brexit party for harms done as well as threats of further harm

#DeformAreCrooks so, no…

For four hours on Friday 12 September, while most of us slept, GB electricity demand was being fully covered by generation from clean-energy sources The first-ever period with 100% of demand covered by clean energy was in 2021 The longest to date lasted 15hrs, on 26 May 2025 2/7

Sandbag’s response to the CBAM Calls for Evidence tackles risks of loopholes and uneven treatment. The call covered: • Article 7 – Emissions reporting • Article 31 – Adjustment for free allocation • Article 9 – Carbon price paid abroad 👉 Read more here: sandbag.be/2025/09/30/s...

Early indications that the Brexit party (Reform) plan: To be horrible to many minority groups and accelerate climate change - will do nothing to fix the cost of living … Quelle surprise after their Brexit promises.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Solid.

Instinctively I prefer rebalance to end the fossil fuel subsidy and drive further emissions reductions. Curious to read the report detail to discover if you considered removing the standing charge by redistribution. Hitting big (wealthy) users and helping small (poor, frugal) users.

Whatever their differences, there's something that unites them - they all believe we must fix our broken democracy. As #LabourConference2025 begins, here's a reminder: polling consistently shows that most Labour members and voters support PR. It's time for Starmer to listen.

Fascist or far right politicians also linked to authoritarian petro states and the fossil fuel industry. They harm the climate and nature, a core part of our healthy society that protects life.

Parties that are trailing behind Reform UK in the polls will pull every lever to make sure this becomes common knowledge, right? Right?

tl:dr - Use Climate Dividends to undermine populism. A study of how populist narratives attack climate policy and how such populism can be undermined with effective communication addressing climate and inequality. @bestforbritain.org @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Australia's academics say "It's time to look at a carbon price." It works, it works fast and it's the most powerful climate policy. The EU cannot meet it's target without more carbon pricing. The UK is currently weak on carbon pricing. theconversation.com/cut-emission...

Fossil fuel industry defends the profits they extract. Profits boosted by taxpayers, via government subsidies. Radical idea: Reverse the flow, tax fossil fuels and pay people "There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive" ... "I love this plan ..." www.google.com/search?q=gho...

Spot on. 🎯 Closer ties with Europe = stronger economy. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk: "There is no serious strategy for restoring economic growth that doesn't involve rebuilding Britain's relationship with Europe."

I hope it's not just my fantasy, that in fact, the silent (quiet) majority really rather agree on a lot ...

The Liberal Democrats are the biggest beneficiaries of Labour's collapse, gaining more switchers than Reform UK. The Greens are also taking large numbers of former Labour backers. (Certainly not what you'd guess given the national narrative.)

Whilst the US does some harm to all. The economic competitiveness of the US will suffer greatly. Small compensation I know, the lunacy of fossil fuel corruption of power and denial of science.
