I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄 Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque? It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage 🧵 1/26

And another one! These common sense decisions are making me hopeful the UK government will say NO to Rosebank... the decision is back in their hands at the end of this week. There's still time to have your say - but be quick, the consultation closes on Thursday actionnetwork.org/forms/the-go...

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I would recommend people read this very important thread by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. I think his point about this economic elite, is probably more important, than the prison/crime point (which itself is very important). This economic elite, is a sort of malignancy. 1/6🧵

For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth. Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are. With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

Voters want both: homes built and wildlife protected. MPs should listen to the public, not a false "nature vs growth" narrative. If nature loses at this stage, it will be because they chose not to protect it. Tell your MP to back nature: action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/... 📢

In 2023, the Labour party supported mandating swift bricks, whipping FOR the swifts brick amendment. 2 years later, the same Ministers in charge of Housing put a 3 line whip (the most extreme block) AGAINST swift bricks. Listen to the strength of support in this powerful speech.

What on earth was the reason for the 3 line whip to vote this down? The Labour party supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023. Why has it gone from supporting swift bricks in opposition to imposing a 3 line whip to block them in government

As always, accuracy is critical. What I said was: "In some respects this government under Keir Starmer looks more Tory than the Tories". I had just spelt out exactly which respects I meant: its anti-protest laws and the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.

This puts the "solar farm is spoiling the view where I walk my dogs" complaints into perspective

The Housing Secretary has tabled a motion to reject @houseoflords.parliament.uk Amendment 40 (formerly Amendment 130). It is troubling that the Government continues to reject an amendment that is based on scientific evidence and would safeguard our local nature. act.bats.org.uk/urge-your-mp...

📣 MPs vote TOMORROW on Amendment 130. The Planning & Infrastructure Bill could be disastrous for wildlife without key protections. Nature needs your voice! Amendment 130 is a vital fix. 🗳️ MPs must back it & they vote tomorrow. 📨 Please email your MP today 👉 action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/180301

Net zero is one of the many areas where commentators are out-of-touch with public opinion in Britain. There is still broad support for cutting carbon emissions - except from among Reform supporters, who are the outliers.

Brilliant news

To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦‍♂️ …and also, just incidentally, an absolute non-negotiable requirement for meeting UK climate targets 😬🥵☠️

This is not what climate leadership looks like. Reminder: the economy is completely dependent on the environment. There is NO economy on a dead planet #COP30 #ClimateEmergency www.politico.eu/article/keir...

This is absolutely appalling. "The UK will not contribute to a flagship fund for the world’s remaining tropical forests, in a bitter blow to the Brazilian hosts on the eve of the Cop30 climate summit." Absolutely pathetic. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
