Meanwhile, in the US. It just takes your breath away. *50 years* in prison for protesting. Don't imagine for one moment that we are immune to this. Already, the legislative framework is in place in the UK to enable such convictions - before we get a Trumplike PM. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Deforestation doesn't just erase trees — it erases ecosystems, histories, and the futures of communities who depend on forests to live. Why can’t we protect those giants like we protect old buildings? Sign the petition and #ProtectForestNow >> act.gp/4b4aKYp #WorldRainForestDay

🚨 The Rosebank oil field would produce CO2 equivalent to 70% of UK annual emissions. Drilling wouldn’t lower bills or strengthen our energy security. ❌ Andy Burnham needs to listen to Labour MPs, reject Rosebank, and secure a cleaner, greener energy future for us all. #StopRosebank

🔥 The heat is on, and the UK can't afford another false start. ⚖️ Andy Burnham has a choice: prioritise people or polluters. 🌍 Meet the UK's climate and nature commitments 🌿 Pass the Nature + National Security Bill ❌ Reject all new oil and gas ✊ Sign our petition today 👉 zerohour.uk/andy

🌿 @pippaheylings.bsky.social—CNCC Vice Chair—at the Seventh Carbon Budget debate: “We must stop treating nature protections as a blocker to economic growth, and I ask the Government to get rid of reckless rhetoric dividing climate and nature rather than seeing them as indivisible necessities.”

Good morning , thank you to @billiegee.bsky.social for today's #FoxOfTheDay !

Man. Bruce Springsteen is on an absolute mission with this tour. Called this a Treasonous and corrupt regime, and welcoming in fans to the Land of Hope and Dreams your, asking to choose peace over WAR, and launching into a blistering version of “war”. Here. For. It. ✊🏼 🎸 🔥 👊🏼

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...

🌍 Protecting people should be the first duty of any Government. At present, the UK is deeply unprepared for the increasing threat of floods, droughts, wildfires and food shortages. The cross-party CNCC will continue to urge the Government to deliver, before it's too late. 👉 thecncc.org

500 carbon capture lobbyists granted access #COP29 amp.theguardian.com/environment/... reports @theGuardian.bsky.social Dharna Noor Ed Miliband spoke at COP on needing a quick sprint to reduce methane, but his #CCS plans increase emissions with upstream methane. My quote👇 #StopCCSNowEd

We recently did a briefing on carbon capture and storage that was non partisan and science-led. We'll post it below. Our government are taking a 22BN punt with our money on an unproven technology so this @canarymediainc.bsky.social article is quite troubling. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Does the UK Government have a grip on the spread of misinfo in our media and disinformation online? We’ve started a petition for a public consultation - 100k signatures and it will be considered for debate in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Over on twitter the right wing trolls continue to wound with their clever and inventive insults.
