As we approach the end of 2025, our Global CEO @philip-ciwf.bsky.social reflects on the incredible legacy left by Dr Jane Goodall.

We've made it to the end of another year - thank you for your support of The Greenwich Wire in 2025. Here's a look back at the highlights and lowlights of the past 12 months, and some thoughts about the future.

Around 90% of pigs sent for slaughter in the UK are currently killed using CO2. This involves lowering pigs into a CO2 chamber, where they panic, fight for breath, and eventually suffocate. Steps to end this cruel method are long overdue.

Next week we're hosting an event in Parliament called “Animals Farmed: Misinformation and Honest Labelling”. Alongside our friends at @humaneworlduk and the @AnimallawFDN we'll be calling on MPs to back transparent food labels. Ask your MP to attend: https://bit.ly/4r5d6wC

RIP Martin Parr

This is very sad news. There really hasn’t been anyone else who’s driven the cause of photography here in the way Martin Parr did. www.instagram.com/p/DR9mbjtjEj...

Step inside the world of a caged hen in the UK. With 7 million hens still kept in cages, it's time to fight for their freedom. Their suffering is preventable.

Wood burning stoves are an issue - British homes burn some 2 million tonnes a year, producing more fine particles (pm 2.5) than cars do now - it’s right to do something about it. buff.ly/55NlnzO

Read the paper here: www.compassonline.org.uk/publications...

Our paper published back in May, 'The Good Society Starts Small', called for the end of the two-child benefit limit. Baroness Ruth Lister made an inarguable case for it - morally and economically. We are ecstatic it is being ended. But this is just the beginning.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

X protects this user's racist abuse of Adnan Hussain MP, but "hope I continue to report anything that might break their policies" Reported: 41 tweets Sanctioned: 1 tweet

X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform. Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported. A new thread documenting this.

Yet more #flytipping in a known spot. I'd love to know what would happen differently with the new flytipping strategy from RBG. Reported as usual via #fixmystreet #se18

It really shouldn’t take awesome local campaigners like @escalatenow.bsky.social to provide updates on the lifts for people wanting to cross the river east of Tower Bridge on foot or wheeling bikes. TfL need to pick up the foot tunnels as strategic river crossings and make the lifts reliable.

Farage had the opportunity to do the right thing, the kind of thing responsible leaders might do….but instead he insisted it was all fine. Ugly language he said - too true that. With an ugly sentiment behind it. Racism. You know what makes me mad Nige, all them white faces in Reform pics..:)

Why is it big sites still offer to link posts to The Other Place. And even government, ministers and local council use it. WHO makes these decisions?!

Thrilled to visit Bar.Re after the #vatican this morning. A cracking Della Fonte mild & session IPA by the same 🇮🇹 brewery. #rome #beer

Just watched #coda movie. Tear jerker!

Thought about this tonight while popping into two old-school micropubs in Crayford and Barnehurst that have diversified into magnificent little places - keeping the cask ales but doing just a little bit more these days. Just as the Green Goddess does.

Today's a good day for reporters to confuse Westminster Abbey with Westminster Cathedral in their headlines.

Today, we're remembering our inspirational co-founder, Anna Roberts, on what would have been her birthday. Pictured here with her husband and fellow co-founder Peter, Anna was one of the earliest critics of factory farming. Her legacy lives on in our work today.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...
