A video of cars waiting at a forecourt has been shared online with claims about long queues at petrol stations in the UK. While there have been reports of some queues at UK petrol stations in recent weeks, this footage is actually from Seville in Spain.

Warnings from the World Meteorological Organisation and the International Energy Agency show a growing climate and energy crisis driven by fossil fuel dependence. The government must reject the misinformation from Reform and the Conservatives and accelerate the shift to homegrown renewable energy.

Trump says he's postponing power plant strikes after US-Iran talks - but Tehran denies talks took place.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

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...

Every lever possible has to include ‘breaking the link’ - but it appears Labour are set against this - why? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Drilling for oil and gas will not reduce bills or deliver energy security. Here’s Why. Gavin Bridge and Gisa Weszkalnys explain why recent calls for more drilling, in light of conflict in Iran, will not have the desired results, in our latest blog. ukerc.ac.uk/news/drillin...

Follow Emma if you haven’t already. Absolutely brilliant work.

NEW | Electric vehicles avoided oil demand equivalent to 70% of #Iran’s exports in 2025 🚗⚡ Oil remains the Achilles’ heel of the global economy. But Ember’s latest analysis shows EVs are the most powerful tool to reduce that vulnerability. 🔗ember-energy.org/lat...#Iran’s 🧵1/4

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

Israel's recent attacks on Lebanon have killed over 1,000 people - including 118 children and 40 medical workers. Bombing has destroyed civilian structures such as apartment buildings and bridges, and over a million people have been displaced. Halt arms sales. End the impunity.

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

Great to talk at recent @coveringclimatenow.org briefing about the new report from @climatemajority.bsky.social on how to break the spirals of silence from different parts of the climate majority. Once we see ourselves as a majority, the scope for effective #climate action becomes so much greater

Just remember: the hateful claims made against Muslims today were previously made against Jews (and often still are). Sometimes word-for-word. Same hate, different targets. We all stand together against hatred, or we will be picked off one by one.

YouGov releases results of new poll of YouGov staff From the new Private Eye, out now.

A senior network staffer tells me this about the end of CBS News Radio: "Tom Cibrowski and Bari Weiss just murdered 99 years of history. They have no respect for news and, evidentially, CBS or its hard earned legacy."

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war. Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

For many years, the US government persuaded most of its own citizens - and many others - that its intentions and behaviour were benign, despite the perpetual wars, coups, murders, resource grabs, the ecocide and neocolonialism. If Trump has done one thing for us, it is to rip the mask away.

Social media posts shared hundreds of times falsely claim Keir Starmer has said the UK may need to go into another lockdown if meningitis cases continue to increase. Number 10 confirmed he did not make these comments.

“Trump is a bully and a blackmailer, and he has made absolutely no plan for what an exit strategy looks like. When he asks for our help we should say: Donald, ‘you broke it, you fix it.’” Caroline Lucas speaking on the Iran war on #BBCQT.

APPG vice-chair, @carladenyer.bsky.social, argued that as well as being bad for the climate, approving the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field, Rosebank, would do nothing to lower energy bills at home.

Wow. On Tuesday 107 MPs met frontline sewage campaigners, including those featured in Channel 4’s 'Dirty Business', to hear directly about their experience and what needs to change. Campaigners, including prominent figures like Feargal Sharkey, had one clear message: it’s time for public ownership.

I’ve said it before, no one can stop this green tide, not Trump, not Farage - nobody. Being aware of and responsible for the impact of your own business  on the climate - is becoming essential. buff.ly/5VrEE2A

15 years ago I built Britain’s first electric car, the Nemesis - and a national network of chargers (The Electric Highway) for the electric cars that were coming. buff.ly/gj3lDnC

Social media posts with ‘breaking news’ banners incorrectly suggest the Maldives has recently “cut all ties with Israel”. The country actually cut diplomatic ties with Israel in 1974.

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

UC Irvine criminologist Charis E. Kubrin keeps proving that immigration doesn’t increase crime. Why hasn’t her message broken through?

The Government needs to realise more regulation won’t fix our broken water system. We need to kick financial predators out & take it back into public control. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to a sewage campaigner who inspired Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’. @windrushwasp.bsky.social

Oil prices are at multi-year highs. Your home electric bill is through the roof. The Strait of Hormuz is jammed up. And the Trump administration wants to ... pay $1 billion to stop renewable energy projects. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/c...

As Suzanne Simard brings out a new book, and a film inspired by her "Mother Tree"/ "Wood Wide Web" hypothesis is in development, please be aware that - to use the technical jargon - it's mostly bollocks. A huge media phenomenon, running miles ahead of the science. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inequality isn’t inevitable. It’s the result of decades of privatisation and deregulation. The Greens offer an alternative, where working people don't struggle to afford the basics, and have warm homes, cheap bills and good lives. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"A plan to end rip off Britain" @zackpolanksi.bsky.social outlines fiscal measures the government could take to end austerity and transform our economy.

"The Green Party calls on the UK Government to make clear to Trump and Netanyahu the UK will not accept breaches of international law, to withdraw permission for the US to use UK military bases, and to refuse any further complicity in this illegal war." @elliechowns.bsky.social

Ratcliffe is incoherent - all of the oil and gas we produce here in Britain is sold at the global market price. No amount of oil produced here can in that case save us a single penny. Importing fossil fuels does not mean we pay more. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

A video has been shared with claims it shows a fight breaking out at Birmingham City Council after a councillor was seen “eating during Ramadan”. This is false. It actually shows an altercation between lawyers in Pakistan.

Good news this and fab study from Greenpeace - bottom line - we don’t need deep sea mining for the transition to a green economy. buff.ly/cTM7os7

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Have you ever seen someone at a train station who looks upset, but not been sure what to do? The lovely people at Samaritans have produced a #SmallTalkSavesLives guide and were handing it out at Bristol Temple Meads last week ☺️ Also available online: www.samaritans.org/support-us/c...

Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’ revealed the human cost of privatised water. We need public ownership. I’m co-hosting an MP drop-in with frontline water activists. Ask your MP to meet with them: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-... @cleanilkley.bsky.social @windrushwasp.bsky.social

Surging oil prices are not an act of god, it's an act of capitalism. And rather than throw money to the oil Barons we should control them. Control prices rather than wring our hands at runaway markets and profiteering. Fix the problem not fund the symptom. news.sky.com/story/flatpl...

This should be great
