It was absolutely lovely delivering in beautiful #Sidmouth for the inspiring @denisebickley.bsky.social this afternoon. Known her for years. She's superb. #DeniseforSidmouth

In just 3 years, children have become 50% more likely to develop a mental health problem. This #Children'sMentalHealthWeek, we must make sure that children who need support don't slip through the cracks. That's why @libdems.org.uk want to see mental health hubs for young people in every community.

The man Trump is a monster Greenland “needs to be American” Canada “needs to become the 51st state” Gaza - during his inauguration period he described it as having “great beaches, we can really make something great there” like it’s a feckin holiday resort www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now…@stopcambo.bsky.social

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

We Won't Go Back.

Spending a Saturday morning catching up on the print edition of December’s @bylinetimes.bsky.social This article by @tom--scott.bsky.social neatly summarises quite a few of my counselling sessions from the past year, and the LA fires hadn’t even happened yet. bylinetimes.com/2024/11/11/d...

Don't let people forget.

You smashed it !!! 😘🤩🙃🫠😅🤣🥲😝☺️😍😂😄😃😀😁🤭🤗 We added 7000 signatures in less than two days, after virtually zero movement for a month. Keep it going! Target 100 000 this coming week !! 💥💯 Sign, share and deliver us from #Brexit. youtu.be/fTNRmgoZJkc?... #RejoinEU @gavinesler.bsky.social

10-11 tomorrow #Sidmouth #beachclean

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @jonathanpienews.bsky.social & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall . We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse – justice for the #LordWalney16

Britain has become a world-leader in cracking down on climate activism & right to peaceful protest is under attack as never before. Solidarity with brave #16 who are appealing their draconian sentences today. Big Oil should be in the dock, not peaceful protesters. Me for @guardian👇#DefendourJuries

The UK government must act in the interests of the people it represents and make fossil fuel companies - not taxpayers - pay for the damage caused by flooding and other climate disasters. Take action now: act.gp/3WDOain

🚨 BREAKING: Shell just announced annual profits of more than $23 BILLION.⁠⁠ They are BURNING THE PLANET and laughing all the way to the bank. How on earth is this fair?⁠⁠

EHCP FAILINGS IN DEVON According to the PAC report released last week, in Devon (as of 2023), on just 4.9% of occasions did Devon County Council issue EHCPs within the Government's 20-week timeframe. Contrastingly, Somerset Council issued 42.1% of EHCPs within the same 20-week window. #Devon

A third runway at #Heathrow in the midst of a climate emergency is a vile act of vandalism. Rachel Reeves is happy to burn the planet for a tiny (probably elusive) increment of GDP. How does this benefit us? Article coming later today.

Good morning! We're heading back to #Devon for our next 'Eye in the sky' shot, with a foggy sunrise over the iconic Haldon Belvedere Castle.... #exeter

“We are still seeing dentists leaving” says Hannah Woolnough. “We’re still seeing them reducing their NHS provision because this contract simply is not a financially viable model for a dental practice.” Why we need urgency and ambition from Government 👉 www.bda.org/news-and-opi...

Tonight, in a House of Commons vote, Labour and Conservative MPs failed to back our plans to protect customers from footing the bill for water company bailouts. 
Liberal Democrats forced a parliamentary vote to ensure it is creditors not customers, who pay when water companies go bankrupt.

1/2 After more than a decade of Tory environment secretaries ignoring the science and licensing bee-killing pesticides, I wholeheartedly welcome this long-overdue decision. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The system for supporting children with special educational needs is broken and families are suffering. In Essex, just 0.9% of EHCPs are issued on time, and nationally, 37.4% are delayed by 6 months or more. The Government must act now. Children can’t wait. Read my article here: bit.ly/40uBwTT

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Really disappointed that the #CANBILL has been pushed onto the long grass. This is not the way to treat the future of the planet. BBC News - Climate and Nature Bill falls as MPs vote to end debate www.bbc.com/news/article...

Amazing! Thank you @richardfoordld.bsky.social

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country. We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water. 📑25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership. #Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a £3 billion bailout. Agree? Sign our petition tinyurl.com/yxht3p94

I am looking forward to robustly supporting the #CANBill this Friday. @zero-hour.bsky.social

NEW: Downing Street refuses to condemn the Trump administration for withdrawing from the Paris climate accord, saying it will not give a “running commentary” on executive orders. Also no comment on Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes. No 10 spokesman says he has not seen them.

My short walk to my local #lidl in #sidmouth - doing a litter pick on the way - yielded this. We are disgusting but my main thought all the time is... we produce too much rubbish and we can't cope with it. #recycling is not the answer.

The French Human Rights League is asking the public to join them in a mass exodus of X, formerly Twitter, on US Inauguration Day #Jan20 🎩: @jimmacmillan.com #HelloQuitteX #Xodus

93% of Brits won't wear fur, but the UK still imports it from cruel farms that gas and electrocute animals. It's drenched in toxic chemicals, too. Let's close this loophole - ban all fur imports & sales now! #FurFreeBritain petition.parliament....

WASHINGTON, DC: Wendy Penner wears a sign, as thousands of #protesters representing a variety of rights groups gather for a march on January 18, 2025. #Activists were rallying in opposition to the incoming #Trump administration’s policy objectives before the presidential #inauguration.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

How many more wake-up calls do we need? We don’t have long to stop catastrophic damage to the natural world we love and rely on. The Climate and Nature Bill will be voted on next week - there's no excuse for politicians of any party not to vote for it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

People across Devon will be feeling the chill this winter as a result of high energy costs. Yet it does not need to be this way. With proper insulation, investment in green energy, and upgraded infrastructure, we can warm our homes and cool our planet. www.midweekherald.co.uk/news/2485451...

Ministers have finally responded to our call to take action on sewage pollution, promising they won’t “look the other way” 👀 But actions speak louder than words. When South West Water spilled sewage in November, they did nothing at all. goodlaw.social/rkuf

MPs are calling for the resignation of the chief exec of South West Water, the company that’s also being sued by Jo Bateman. Let’s turn the tide against the bosses putting profit over people. As Jo says: “The right to swim in waters without sewage should be a given”

This week, I signed a letter demanding South West Water improve transparency around water quality. To keep our waters safe, they must share alert sewage data with @sascampaigns.bsky.social

1. This is what it’s really about. Farage, Truss and co have no convictions of their own. They are mere channels for the demands of capital. Here they are, supporting a climate science-denying lobby group funded by oil and oligarchs. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧵

My son is studying Germany for A level history. I asked him for the main reasons Hitler could become so powerful. Poverty, hatred of certain people, anger at situation of Germany after WW1, propoganda. Compare to now... poverty, hatred, anger (covid, Islam, brexit, climate change), propoganda. 🧵
