The BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster, sharing info with us so we can make good decisions and understand the world around us. Instead, it continues to fail the public, publishing half baked articles which expose people to bad info which leaves them vulnerable to grifters. (1/n)

The fossil oil lobby has managed to make *everyone* identify as “motorists”. So many of us walk, ride bikes catch buses and trains, even occasional planes and we drive cars or vans too. But measures to make our streets safer and more accessible are seen as a “war on people who drive” -/-

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

Reminder: targeting civilian infrastructure, such as power plants and bridges, is a war crime. The US president is openly and repeatedly threatening to commit war crimes.

Quakers have joined faith leaders from across the UK in writing to the Home Secretary warning against permanently restricting refugee family reunion. "These proposals deny the humanity of some of the world's most vulnerable people" www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

We oppose the death penalty without exception, in every country and under every circumstance. Israel's new death penalty law that applies only to Palestinians is not justice: it is discrimination enshrined in law. It is apartheid. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

This is the complete opposite to the direction we should be going in. Allowing intensive farming to expand will increase animal suffering, undermine food security, increase pollution, fuel the climate crisis and put all of us at risk. Read more: https://bit.ly/4c0tF6e

Forest restoration in Madagascar faces a "pernicious" threat: the strawberry guava. As lemurs spread their seeds, this nonnative tree takes over damaged habitats. Conservationists warn that this invasive takeover is complicating vital forest restoration efforts. Ryan Truscott reports for #Mongabay.

Your regular reminder that this time last month Kemi Badenoch told her party's spring conference that Keir Starmer should back Trump's actions in Iran "immediately and unequivocally"

The stress of simply getting off a tube train when the staff member with the mini ramp doesn’t appear as the doors open shared by @annalandre.com. And it’s very obvious that those of us not using wheelchairs can be rather more helpful or at least understanding if we spot this happening.

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials. As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

People in Cumbria fought against a coal mine and won. But corporate courts mean that’s not the end of the story. Our new film produced by Planet House Productions in collaboration with us, @tradejusticemov.bsky.social and @friends-earth.bsky.social earth – out now.

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar generation saved UK from gas imports worth £1bn in March 2026 📈Wind+solar were up 22% year-on-year in March to a record high for the month ⛴️This avoided the need for gas imports worth £1bn at current high prices www.carbonbrief.org/...

UK emissions figures out today. 2025 is only 1.8% down on 2024. Far from enough for the threat we face. There’s great work going on in greening the grid. But beyond that it’s mostly flat. Transport even up since 2022! Let's be honest. We cannot do this within business-as-usual. #NEB2025 #PEBuk

Reform UK housing spokesperson Simon Dudley said of Grenfell: ‘Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right?’

Odd that this story about Farage and Reform's housing spokesman not having any humanity & being sacked isn't on the BBC headlines. Is ur app broke BBC or just ur ability to b unbiased? Farage sacks Reform housing spokesman over ‘everyone dies’ Grenfell remark www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Palantir wants absolved responsibility for the death and destruction caused by its AI optimisation of war, but its founder supports Trump’s goal to use AI in whatever way he deems legal in his very much illegal war. Why does our Government keep opening the door to this genuine evil?

Reform UK. Aren't they lovely.

Die #Artemis Astronauten können es sehen: unsere Atmosphäre ist dünn wie eine Zwiebelschale. Ein hauchdünner fragiler Gasschleier, der uns vor der eisigen Kälte und Strahlung des Weltalls schützt. Nur ein Millionstel der Masse unseres Heimatplaneten. scilogs.spektrum.de/klimalounge/...

Was talking to a guy who started scuba diving in the 1970s and still dives regularly. I asked him what were some of the biggest changes he has seen. I expected something about dive computers & other new tech. His reply: There is so much less life now 🙁 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/ecosyst...

Nigel Farage wants to scrap workers' rights. Supermarket worker Finnola isn't having it.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Cops have twice raided Quaker meeting houses to arrest people- and seize their phones/laptops - without so far charging anyone. Are we seeing pre-emptive policing to make the very idea of protest impossible? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/identi...

Israel becoming more authoritarian and more and more marked by naked apartheid. This new law is in direct contravention of Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. When will the EU stand up for *its own* law-based agreements? Or does Israel get a pass? www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, responsible for around 0.5C historical warming. But it is very short lived. Unlike CO2 it acts as a "flow" rather than stock pollutant, with impacts based on the rate of emissions rather than cumulative emissions.

Wonderful day on the streets with so many Greens standing up against hate and division. 💚 #togetheralliance

The UK Government is making a move to try and restrict timber from being used in a significant proportion of new buildings, proposing to significantly extend the "external wall ban" which has been in place for residential buildings residential buildings of more than 7 storeys since 2022.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
