“restoring wetlands and the natural flow of rivers, along with continuing the reintroduction of ecosystem engineers such as beavers, will help” to reduce flooding. Beavers do all this for free. #ProtectNature 🦫🦋🐦‍⬛ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I am always overlooked at a bar and it’s really annoying that other customers walk up and get served straight away! Really, it is not fair customer service. Table service would be my preferred option. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Wondering why I am so angry and vocal about the UK Govt building a toolkit for tyrants? In the USA, ICE agents took facial rec for tracking ‘non-citizens’ (so grim in itself!) and then immediately used it to build themselves a database of human rights protestors. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Great idea. Eating cows on only 4 days a year. Make it special, if you need too. Better still, expand that to dairy because there are loads of alternatives that have a smaller climate footprint. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ja...

“The scale of investment remains insufficient relative to overall flood risk” The government needs to up its game and fund adaptation and flood defence schemes for people’s homes. #ClimateEmergency 🌊🛟⛑️ www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

The positives of regularising immigrants “tax revenues increased by about €4,000 per regularised immigrant a year” Welcoming those who want to work is a good thing, it avoids cheap labour & brings in tax revenues. Everyone gets a better life. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Great thread. Do you read the following graphs as an optimist or pessimist?

Reform just do not care about ordinary people. Why would you vote for someone who knowing kept his tenants from having hot water for 2 yrs? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“wealth is concentrated in a few hands and everyone else is struggling” #WealthTax Share the wealth, eradicate poverty.

Well that’s pretty conclusive . The vast majority do not have a problem with trans people and are happy for them to use the gender facilities which are most appropriate for them. As it should be. #TransInclusive 🏳️‍⚧️

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The world as we knew it has gone.  But we can influence what comes next.  Rejoining the EU is no longer an academic issue nor a decision borne of nostalgia.  It’s a matter of political necessity Me with Dominic Grieve for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social @europeanmovement.co.uk ▶️ buff.ly/YvqAyV8

I've just emailed MPs on the Council of Europe to let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats. The more we speak up, the harder it is to ignore us. goodlaw.social/9f10d1 Be a #TransAlly don't be a bystander watching peoples rights and dignity being eroded.🏳️‍⚧️

The arrogance of Westminster towards Wales is breathtaking “at the moment Westminster can technically scrap Welsh democracy without any input from the people of Cymru” Wales is a democracy: the Senedd represents people of Wales, unlike Westminster it seems. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes, it's a first of its kind win. But it certainly won't be the last. There's a reason why Nigel Farage is refusing to debate Zack Polanski.

Removing juries is not about time saving because there’s little impact that better planning and investment will address. I think it’s about influence. Its more difficult to influence 12 independant jurors who can act according to their conscience #KeepJuries ⚖️ www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jan...

17 of the biggest emitters are state controlled oil companies that opposed a proposed fossil fuel phaseout at the Cop30 UN climate summit in Dec. includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Iran, United Arab Emirates and India. #StopFossilFuels 🔥 #SupportRenwables 🌞 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I feel really sad at the prospect of losing penguins in the Antarctic.😢 Even though one of the remotest places in the world, burning fossil fuels has impacted on the penguin world with devastating consequences #ProtectNature www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I spent many hours with my mother (who has dementia and kidney infection) in an A/E corridor, sat in a chair, receiving a drip - no alarm bell, no water, no privacy, no blankets, no seat for my 86yr old father, who also stayed with her. Our parents deserve better in their time of need.

In 2019, I was living in Bendigo, Victoria under these same conditions 🔥It was this and XR protests that awakened me to human caused climate crisis. Climate induced fires are frightening, devastating and kill. #SupportRenewables #ProtectNature #StopFossilFuels www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The treatment of these hunger strikers has “exposed to the world Britain has political prisoners in service of a foreign genocidal regime” The government is trashing our good reputation abroad and for what? Remember, they are not even convicted of anything. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The importance of communities helping out in a crisis. However, these occurrences will become more frequent. Where’s the emergency planning and how is it communicated? With phones now reliant on having power, that’s a problem. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Want to talk subsidies? Drax gets over £2m a day to burn forests. Let’s support renewables for a carbon free future. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Support equates to subsidising fossil fuels, resulting in global temperature rises and increasing extreme weather events that cost us when our homes and businesses flood. Is that really what the public want? #SupportRenewables

How would a government, whose leader was racist, transphobic, mysoginistic and tended towards facist behaviour use these new powers? This is an erosion of our right to free speech and protest against those in power. #DemocracyUnderFire #ProtectRighttoProtest www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Clips from Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social's powerful opening & closing statements at the National Emergency Briefing. "We are asking for a WW2 level of leadership. Leadership, as if the survival of our society depends on it... because it does." #NEB2025 #NationalEmergencyBriefing

It’s time for a televised emergency briefing on the threats from climate & nature breakdown - and opportunities if we take urgent action. Gov did it with Covid. This is an even greater threat. Please ask your MP to join the call 👇

Apologies, that’s three different countries, including tax havens. Why?

Our water provider in Wiltshire is made up of 12 different companies registered in two different countries and a British Isle. Let’s take back control of our essential services 💧 #PublicallyOwnedWater #PrivatisationHasFailed www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“In particular, a failure to act on Musk’s behaviour will only embolden those who seek to exert political influence over science and scientists and erode its foundational principles” We all have a moral duty to take a stand when something is wrong. Few actually do but these are the good ones.

The super rich use their fair share of carbon budget in three days! So for the rest of the year they will be taking everyone else’s share. The greedy behaviour of the rich is literally killing us. #TaxWealth #BanPrivateJets #BanFossilFuels #FairerSociety www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Princess of Wales recognises the importance of nature to health and healing. Access to nature should be available to all. We all should have a right to walk riverbanks and stroll in the countryside. #RightToRoam www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

⚡2026 is a turning point. UK #climate & environmental activists face both crisis & opportunity. Fascism rises, the #climate agenda is under attack, & political representation is urgent. 🧵A longish thread on why we must unite behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the @greenparty.org.uk 💚

“They’ve also been banned from prison jobs for “security reasons”, denied books, newspapers, library and gym visits and subjected to “non-association orders” I thought we had moved on from Victorian levels of cruelty. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These young people have not been convicted nor been to trial. What justice is this? Let them out on bail or bring forward their trial date. This is an inhumane way to treat anyone. I always thought we had innocent until proven guilty-yet they are in prison! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A lost opportunity to make roads safer by reducing speed limits. Wales has shown by introducing 20mph, which is simple, quick and cheap to implement, saw big reductions in road deaths and injuries immediately. #20sPlenty #VisionZero #SaferRoads www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Following a report of tree obstruction and broken stile to #WiltshireCouncil, both issues have been resolved. Trees removed and stile and steps rebuilt. It's a good feeling to know that I can make a difference for my community and the system works.😊

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

“What’s going on inside Trump’s head? A benign interpretation is that in matters of war and peace, he has no idea what he is doing – no strategy, no clue – and makes up policy as he goes, depending on how he feels” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Defending multi millionaire and billionaires is a thing? Will they really suffer from paying 1% tax? No one’s asking for it to solve all ills, but it could solve some, like paying for free school meals. #HopeisHere 💚 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Making the ultra rich pay their fair share of tax is right, which Labour is not brave enough to do. They also shy away from bringing water trains and energy back into public ownership. Lazy, headline grabbing stuff from Jack. #FairerGreenerSociety #HopeisHere 💚 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
