Under First Past the Post millions of votes are wasted at every election. If the Representation of the People Bill is to live up to its name, it must replace our system with PR. Write to your MP and ask them to support it. Template letter here ➡️ xrb.link/X1lm47j0 actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

We've now set out principles for a government-led briefing - including the need for it to be the kick off of an ongoing process. www.nebriefing.org/briefing-pri...

An astonishing 71% of UK news media coverage of net zero takes a stance in opposition to it, yet the public remain largely supportive Great to see that, as a nation, we're somewhat able to resist the endless propaganda persuasionuk.org/research/apa...

Is it time for a gov-led public information campaign to prepare for the disruption El Nino will bring esp around food supply. Or will Gov keep stum as usual. See the PEB film instead folks. Nebriefing.org

Late last year, a study was released by researchers. It concluded that shutting down environmental protest is a core governing strategy. The mechanisms of repression? Introduce new laws. Leverage ant-terror or anti-organised crime laws. Increase police surveillance. Disappear and kill activists.

How do you turn people off the green transition and deliver them to the far right? Through #ClimateAuthoritarianism. The government seeks to coerce, not to persuade. And it's turning a planning system based on consent into one based on decree. This week's column.🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

With democracy under attack nations like the UK ought to demonstrate its strengths. Fundamental to democracy is that we trust people to make decisions. But that only works if they’re given the facts and if steps are taken to counter disinformation. Government must lead on this not cede ground.

NO JURIES = NO JUSTICE We're supporting the Jury Alliance who are out today defending a cornerstone of criminal justice and democracy. With groups standing up against this attack on justice outside over 40 crown courts across England and Wales. Find out more at thejuryalliance.uk

At a recent People’s Emergency Briefing Nottingham, people were very much in agreement about the televised emergency briefing…. #nottingham #peoplesemergencybriefing #PEBUK

Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for government to stage a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the threats to the UK from nature loss & climate change? We’re locked in a vicious cycle. The public kept in the dark - politicians not willing to act. www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

They have us by the throat. The wealthiest among us are responsible for causing the greatest harm to the biosphere, their actions are directly causing the #ClimateCrisis Join the Rebellion rebellion.global/get-involved/ #StarWarsDay

Top experts at the National Emergency Briefing to MPs warned climate impacts are hitting the UK faster – and harder – than expected. Now that briefing is being shown in communities nationwide. Learn more and find your nearest screening ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Political donations make a mockery of democracy, and the government's solutions are hopeless. Here's a really simple means of fixing it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨New🚨: DeSmog analysis reveals that British ad giant WPP has helped oil majors ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and BP spend an estimated $1 billion on ads since the 2015 Paris climate accord, significantly more than its U.S. rivals. www.desmog.com/2026/04/29/r...

British advertising conglomerate WPP greenwashes US #oil industry. The group has helped ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and BP spend an estimated $1.5bn (£1.1bn) on adverts in the US since the 2015 Paris agreement. #ClimateCriminals #BigOil #climateCrisis www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

So many people shocked that their money was funding fossil fuels and climate destruction - not just #Barclays but #hsbc etc good work by the #dirtyscrubbers and @xrnottm.bsky.social. Check your bank at bank.green and switch if needed, easy and free.

Lots of screening will be happening in Nottingham. More news on them soon…

While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#PeoplesEmergencyBriefings film. As an MP or Cllr you don’t want to be in power when a climate tipping point happens, especially when you didn’t even take up the chance to see this film and instead kept your head in the sand. @uklabourparty.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk @conservatives.bsky.social

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

www.gedlingeye.co.uk/free-communi.... A pretty full church of 121 watched the first public Notts screening this evening - People’s Emergency Briefing. Exploring personal links to other community settings where the film could be shown - a real multiplier event. www.nebriefing.org/host-the-film

BREAKING - Zarah Sultana MP exercises Parliamentary Privilege to expose the unjust nature of the Filton 24 re-trial. UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details. “If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”

Next up in Nottinghamshire the People’s Emergency Briefing is being screened for free at St James’s Church, Marshall Hill Drive, Mapperley, NG4 6FY on Monday 20th April 7:30pm. Bring a friend or two we all need to hear this…..

Morning rush hour just outside of the city center of Utrecht. About 60% of people enter center city #Utrecht by bike, 17% by walking, 14% by transit, and the smallest fraction by car. It's why the city works well for everyone.

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reform offered hate. We offered hope. Hope won. The police say his accusations of cheating are baseless. Farage is a bad loser.

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

Police to resume Palestine Action arrests due to staggering rise in terrorism that has so far seen zero casualties Tax payers foot the bill — the same tax payers who can’t get a police officer to come out when they’ve been burgled @normalisland.co.uk www.normalisland.co.uk/p/police-to-...

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve again written to @DefraGovUK asking when we’ll debate the Joint Intelligence Committee’s report on biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security. The UN warns Earth is being pushed beyond its limits. Will this Government finally act?

Governments sit and watch while oligarchs purchase our politics, as if it were just another asset to be monopolised. For the sake of democracy and our own survival, we need to get the money out. Our political systems must belong to us and us alone. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

Released on 7 April this film presents the national implications of #climate and #nature breakdown - along with credible, positive responses to the crisis. You can host a screening in your constituency and invite your MP and your community to attend. www.nebriefing.org/the-film

Hosting a screening of the #NEB film is a great way to engage with your local MP, particularly if you bring along a wide cross-section of people and organisations from your local community. In the absence of a serious Gov briefing, busy MPs aren’t up to speed. Here’s how to fix that 👇 #PEBuk
