We're logging on to say a big thank you to everyone who joined our panel discussion at the Climate Cymru Act Now Change Forever mass lobby 🐝 We also wanted to say a big thank you to the staff at @climatecymru.bsky.social, Bethan Sayed and Stanley Townsend for organising a brilliant day.

Shocked. Shocked, I tell you. The non dom exodus, the collapse of private schools, which other over hyped story from the last 12 months will turn out to be nonsense?

Great to see this piece gaining traction. A strong Bill is crucial for us to deliver nature's recovery in Wales - and to re-establish the rights and governance we lost after leaving the EU in 2021. We need a strong Environment Bill for a #NaturePositive Wales 🐝🐬🌱

IMPORTANT: The more Israeli crimes are exposed, the more emboldened Israel becomes in committing even more. If you’re following the news & the lists of victims’ names, you’ll understand what I’m saying. Lately, every single day, Israel is killing over a hundred people—some of them entire families.

Came on here to complain about the ITV coverage of the women’s football simply not mentioning Wales’ game on Saturday but describing England’s game as ‘the big one’ but there’s actually real problems in this country 🙃

This afternoon, the Planning Bill enters the House of Lords. Within it is a proposal that would make it easier to destroy the woods, rivers and wildlife we all love - by weakening the laws that keep them safe. If Part 3 isn’t changed or scrapped, nature will pay the price. ⚠️

😳 As more than 100 backbench Labour MPs prepare to rebel against the Government's cruel welfare cuts, Kemi Badenoch has offered Tory votes to push through the cuts. Labour and Conservatives teaming up to punish vulnerable people. Who'd have thought it... 🤷

If you joined a pride event on the weekend, now is the time to do the work and respond to this consultation ⚧️🏳️‍⚧️✍️

“New Velindre mitigations and sustainable design features [are] no more than a sticking plaster slapped over a corpse, a particularly blatant form of greenwashing, with a high, net environmental cost.” Save the Northern Meadows still never miss 🎯

“They're missing the whole point in that we're seeing more fires, a longer fire season, more intense fires, more severe fires, because the climate is changing due to human activities,” said fire expert Mike Flannigan. “It's a serious omission, and that's being very polite.”

Whether for love, work or to flee danger - people move. Always have and always will. It's the govt's job to make it work - but instead the failing Home Office wastes taxpayer money treating migrants like criminals. Time for something new - my report with ‪@zoejardiniere.bsky.social‬ out today.

Wales is told to celebrate the pitiful £450 million for new rail, when a single road in England is getting £590m… and we were originally asking for the £4 billion owed by HS2.

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

Totally utterly completely indefensible

No farmers, no food.

It's been an incredible opportunity to work on this Bill for WEL with colleagues across the ENGOs and the Welsh Government. Although there are gaps, these can be closed with ambition and determination. It's crucial the Bill is strengthened to ensure it delivers real change for nature.

All you need to know about our broken economic system, is that more people are in the market for private jets. And more people than ever blame immigrants for the fact that they can’t afford a house. ☹️

We only just crossed 1.5C warming. This means a rate that is rapidly approaching 1C per decade. That means we're only 20 years away, at most, from a 3C+ world. Arriving half a century sooner than was projected, half a dozen years ago. And still heating...

Imagine if Cardiff worked for people who live here instead of the visitors - got off the train and shepherded out the back of the station to a cab rank around the front where I’m immediately in a cab (great) then stuck in traffic and the driver says £25 😭

Devastating new figures on global forest loss increasing sharply again last year, in large part due to fires. The failure to reckon with the risk of feedback loops is probably the single biggest flaw in the debate around climate action. www.businessgreen.com/news/4413897...

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - and just 3 days ago it was revealed that the UK is now one of the more difficult places in Europe to live as an LGBTQIA+ person. A sobering reminder that our rights can never be taken for granted. #IDAHOBIT2025

Arguing on Bluesky like it’s twitter in 2017. A beautiful Sunday morning ✨🌞

Lots of National Wales staff (including myself) were approached by Pakistani bloggers last year who had captured the expired website domain name. They've relaunched it with the worst sort of AI-generated content.

BREAKING 🇵🇸 The UK has sent more than 160,000 munitions to Israel since October 2023. Today, a groundbreaking new report from the PI, the Palestinian Youth Movement and Workers For A Free Palestine reveals the extraordinary scale of UK arms exports to Israel since the start of the Gaza genocide.

Solidarity with the students 🇵🇸 When hundreds of thousands are at risk of death from starvation, we need more action - TODAY - to call our institutions to account for Palestinians

I have never seen a situation so dismal that Tony Blair couldn't make it worse.

The Prime Minister needs to hear from trans people and trans allies about the impact this ruling will have. Please do use the brilliant TransActual's 'write to the PM' action: transactual.org.uk/write-to-the...

I can't stress the last part of this statement enough - so much of how shit things get for trans people over the coming months will depend on organisational decisions about how to implement new rules and guidance. Places can still choose to keep trans people safe and we must hold them to account

A reminder that Tonia Antoniazzi is a 5G conspiracy theorist.

Hello, I've been working non-stop since the judgment came out. Mostly for free. I am hoping the work I do is doing some good. If you want to make my life easier and this work easier, you can send me a couple quid to help me pay for things. I would really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/jessothomson

Low-key have a huge week at work but am instead thinking about how this ruling is going to make life harder for me, my partner, our friends, and our community. It’s debilitating.

Without big changes, the Government’s Planning Bill could spell disaster for nature 🥀 The Gov has promised a win-win for building & nature, but right now the Bill doesn't deliver🏡 @richardbenwell.bsky.social explains what the Gov needs to do to make the Bill work for people and nature 👇

Looking to book a train ticket over a month in advance to Cornwall to visit my parents - £77+ with a railcard Surreal to be priced out of visiting family by a train that doesn’t even have a refreshments trolley

Wales is getting screwed over by the Treasury (again). A deliberate decision has robbed public sector bodies in Wales of money while protecting those in England. This is fiddly but really outrageous. You can either watch the video or read below... [Thread]

A strong signal for Welsh Government that people value nature and want to see it at the heart of decision making. Urgent and transformational change is needed to help nature thrive once again. #naturepositivewales #sustainablefarmingscheme

The number of teenage boys in Wales who are being radicalised by neo-Nazi groups is growing faster than in any other part of the United Kingdom - and it’s time to recognise that it’s happening right under our noses, says a lecturer from Cardiff University nation.cymru/culture/on-o...

Israel's defence minister has said the country aims to seize large areas of the Palestinian territory and incorporate them into “security zones”. The UK government cannot remain silent while genocide is carried out in plain sight. We will not look away.

On the first day of Eid, Israel killed more than 76 people in Gaza.

Called my MP two weeks ago to ask what they’re doing to end the siege on Gaza, called them a week ago to follow up. Still no confirmation the call happened or response to q’s. Red Cross and UN workers killed in cold blood alongside 50,000+ Palestinians still isn’t enough to move this government

And now plans to push another 50,000 children into poverty in yesterdays budget. Deeply, deeply shameful

"The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old" Sharif Kouddous

#WelfareNotWarfare The planned protest list against disability benefit cuts keeps growing Awesome to see disabled people organising & mobilising against Labour’s planned disability benefit cuts Please use #WelfareNotWarfare & repost all the links

The DWP estimates fraud rates of PIP at 0.4%, with £23 billion of social security support unclaimed each year. Any narrative claiming these cuts are about 'fiscal responsibility' are a red herring. They see Disabled people as the easiest to scapegoat for their policy failures.

Yes I did send a 3 minute voice note about regional transport plans and their complete lack of transparency/accessibility to my partner, and I’d do it again!!! They’re proposing new roads in Cardiff and north wales and they’re being snuck through in these plans. ‘Consultation’ is an empty word

“If we are going to save our world from the death spiral it appears to be in, we have to become brave enough and honest enough to face up to the harm we are doing to ourselves, to other people and to the world. We have to become brave enough to face up to the gravity of the crisis we are in.”

"Two-thirds of all irrigated agriculture in the world is likely to be affected in some way by receding glaciers and dwindling snowfall in mountain regions, driven by the climate crisis, according to a @unesco.org report."
