If you’re dreaming of a White Christmas - dream on. Snow is fast becoming a thing of the past in Britain.

Keir Starmer, Doctor Dolittle? or Doctor do nothing - if you read right wing media and politicians. ....He’s actually Doctor just done a lot - for animals, wild and farmed.

Lots to be shocked about here. One, there are people in this world that think nothing of boiling animals alive. Two, they are up in arms at this change in the law. Three, they claim it’s an attack on their heritage. It’s the end of a barbaric practice is what it is. buff.ly/EtUWj4k

Turkey Basting….. But not as you know it. This is how Turkeys are made. If you put Turkey in your mouth this xmas, spare a thought not just for the Turkey - but for the guys whose mouth was there before you.

Climate induced migration - is not just for people. Mediterranean octopi have taken over the coast of Devon and Cornwall… or so it seems based on the fact that local fishermen have caught (killed) 233,000 of them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Together For Palestine dreamt big and tried to get this beautiful and vital song to be our Xmas no1. Missed by not much, let’s give it a push to get it to No1 for the New Year. Free Palestine.  linktr.ee/T4Plive

Further steps in the creeping invasion and occupation of Palestine and the ethic cleansing of that country. This is a decades long operation - a slow motion land grab and crime against humanity and international law. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjg18xe0wwo

These people, the Tories and Reform have no principles other than one - to gain power. One minute they are enemies, maybe in the next they merge - for the sole reason that they cannot win alone and winning is all that matters. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Our economic system is broken, the rules of the game were written by rich people for rich people. Inequality is growing and it’s no good to rich and poor alike. We need new rules.

Fabulous news and another promise kept. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m helping the CJC fund their work in 2026 -  after a year of attacks by lawyers working for a foreign state - aka UKLFI. These shady lawyers, under investigation I hear for ‘malpractice’ have an MO, they intimidate anyone that speaks out for Palestine. If you can, donate here: buff.ly/2Mz14Ax

Starry, starry night - Happy Solstice Everyone.

Ecotalk became the talk of one Yorkshire town after a mobile blackout caused local chaos and made the Times newspaper. Ecotalk stepped in….the local postie spread the word telling people “you won’t believe how many letters I’m delivering to new Ecotalk customers”. buff.ly/nGMIyWO

You might miss it, mainstream media aren’t talking about it - but Labour have delivered a shed load of things already - more to come.

Energy bills, electric car bans, banks behaving badly, and the climate crisis - have we lived through it before? The Swiss Army Beaver, Netanyahu and anti semitism, Dale in the eye of the storm. And June Sarpong. Listen to this week's Zerocarbonista now: linktr.ee/zerocarbonista

 I think people that are scared of beavers are the people that like to manage the land completely as if it's a garden. Farmers and  people that breed birds for game shooting and all that kind of stuff.

The height of stupidity, that’s what this is. Populism is one thing, but it usually has at least a grain of truth in it - this has none. buff.ly/mH3KdE5

Barbados PM, Mia Mottley, has it right. The climate crisis is moving at pace. We need to act, need to do more. Cutting methane from oil and gas is one of the fastest ways we could slow the warming of the planet. buff.ly/Tf9flQX

We played Solihull last week at home and around 50 school kids came to the game, I was wondering why when I bumped into their teacher, Kerry - who explained.

Latest episode of ZeroCarbonista podcast....:) linktr.ee/zerocarbonista

I’m not a fan of chicken obvs, but this story highlights the imbalance of our tax system, we pay VAT for the privilege of eating, but not flying. And what of hot in-flight meals, how do they escape the takeaway tax...:) www.ft.com/content/d8d0...

Great announcements, designed to win customers - but are they honest? In the same month that the budget did reduce energy bills by around 150 quid a year - a new nuclear tax appeared on energy bills - of roughly the same value. www.express.co.uk/finance/pers...

Wrote about ‘breaking the link’ for the FT last week….there’s simply no good reason not to do this…. www.ft.com/content/fdd7...

The world is overheating - we’ve broken the Paris Accord target of 1.5 degrees global temperature rise - for the last three years running. But Big Oil disrupts climate conferences, like COP 30 - and Big Money backs them. www.edie.net/europes-larg...

Electric car sales up 30% in Sept - almost half of all new car sales were hybrid or full electric……the electric car revolution is here and gaining pace. Already the most economic choice over their lifetime, come next year increasingly they will be cheaper to buy up front. buff.ly/vWQuYkU

This study predicts UK energy spending to halve by 2050, as part of our ‘rush’ to net zero….:) Five years ago I flagged this incredible fact in my book Manifesto - we spend £50 billion a year to bring oil and gas into our country - just to burn it. Good to see it in this study. buff.ly/OBwYgKG

Ten Million Turkeys are killed every year - to celebrate Christmas. It’s a Turkey Holocaust. And that’s before you consider the conditions they live in. And just how Turkeys are bred at this scale….that’s a horror story of its own - expose coming soon. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage could say he signed it without reading it, but that's not gonna look very good for the would-be Prime Minister... Listen to Zerocarbonista: linktr.ee/zerocarbonista

No one knows where it came from - I reckon it’s Guerrilla re wilding, an epic act of wildlife resistance. This is a native creature we shouldn’t need licences and fences to be allowed to bring them back. Hats off to whoever did this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Three years, three records. The Climate is a crisis, whatever Trump or Reform might say - and it is man made. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

We live in an unequal world. And it’s getting worse. 1 in 1,000 people own three times more than 500 of those 1,000 people. It’s not a matter of being unfair - it’s an economic system unfit for the world. buff.ly/s6OFX8A

Snares are a crime against wildlife, but in England we allow them. Labour made a manifesto commitment to ban them - they need to deliver that. For Wildlife's sake.

We’re being poisoned by Big Food and our governments are allowing it, cowed by the lobbyists and fears of right wing accusations of ‘Nanny State ism’. Our government’s are fundamentally failing in their first duty - to protect us all. buff.ly/lo4NkVk.

Piers Morgan says Woke is Dead, or at least his new book does - but look at this new version of him, preferring facts and discussion over shouting and drama. I like it.

Beavers in Norfolk, after 400 years - and White Storks in London after 600 - great week for wildlife. But we should be under no illusions, behind this there’s a massive decline in species and populations. And it’s caused by one thing - the food we choose to eat. buff.ly/4dyiI3H

Beyond a joke - this hideous failure of privatisation, this company that has pumped £billions out of our economy to foreign owners while pumping billions of litres of sewage into our rivers. buff.ly/taOhgF3

Clacton deserves an answer to this - while Farage continues to avoid responsibility for his early life racist comments - he can't avoid this one. A near 50% overspend to win his first seat - at the umpteenth time of trying, looks like he bought it. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

More fake news from the Guardian. This is not the "25th anniversary of wind power generation in the UK". In fact we’re at the 34th anniversary of that event - Britain’s first wind farm was built in Cornwall in 1991 - in November that year. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It’s a fact - the budget knocked £1bn off energy bills by removing an ‘insulation tax’ - in the same month that £1bn was added in a ’nuclear tax’. We all stood still. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If you plan to eat Turkey this xmas - this is how it comes to you, this is done in your name - worth knowing I reckon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3AE...

It is wrong, these foreigners owned monopolies are making 40% profit margins, shipping 10s of billions out of our country in dividends and now we have to pay them to upgrade ’their’ networks. buff.ly/rQAu21z
