A really lovely morning with small businesses in Sussex planting trees - the #MillionTreePledge is such an inspiring example of positive #ClimateAction - good for nature and felt nourishing to the soul as well 🌳Big thanks to all involved @pledge_tree

This #WorldWildlifeDay, a shoutout to #Brighton's beautiful starlings - whose spectacular murmurations are at risk of disappearing from our skies unless we eradicate dangerous pesticides like #neonics. Our natural world is precious - let's protect it!

Glad to see @protectdunsfold win right to judicial review to challenge climate-wrecking fracking at Dunsfold. Gove’s outrageous decision to allow drilling flies in face of local people, local council & basic climate common sense - it must be stopped @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject

RT @LewesGreenParty: A ground-breaking motion brought by the Greens has committed Lewes District council to producing a ‘Rights of River Declaration’ within 2 years. This will recognise that the River Ouse has intrinsic rights.

RT @HughFW: Dear @michaelgove @grantshapps, it's time to lift the #onshorewind ban in England - it has the power to address #climatechange, help the UK meet its net zero targets, and give us all greener, cheaper electricity. And it’s not just me that thinks so. ⬇️ ✍🏼

I’m reading the wonderful Elizabeth Gaskell’s Mary Barton - her analysis remains all too relevant: “How comes it they’re rich & we’re poor? You’ll say they’n getten capital an’ we’n getten none. I say, our labour’s our capital & we ought to draw interest on that” #WorldBookDay

Solidarity with striking teachers today @NEUnion. It's a tough day for teachers, parents & students - but rather than listening to teaching staff & addressing concerns over long hours & poor pay, Tory Ministers past & present are blaming & belittling them. #SaveOurSchools
RT @NEUnion: Education is in crisis in this country. It’s about saving our schools. We don’t want to strike but as teachers in London, South East and South West go on strike today it’s clear we h…

We’re in a severe skills crisis - with 2/3 of small businesses facing skills shortages. Govt *must* provide local colleges with funding & resources in key skills shortage areas, and lifelong learning to upskill adults for the long-term green jobs of the future #MindTheSkillsGap

Pubs & brewers in #Brighton & #Hove & across UK are facing a huge spike in business costs & energy prices. Govt must freeze beer duty to help keep our precious pubs afloat 🍻 #LongLiveTheLocal

The Tories’ nasty ‘two child’ policy must end. Families in need with more than two children only get universal credit for first two. A deeply unpleasant set of assumptions & values at play here. This horrible punishing of children has been going on since 2015 & it needs to stop

Tackling the assault on our democracy, securing a liveable planet, and safeguarding our public sector & civil rights demands that progressives work together. Looking forward to this conversation later this evening with @AnthonyBarnett @CompassOffice 👇

National Govt must provide finance, resources & regulatory frameworks to help local communities thrive. For a liveable future of warm homes, abundant & affordable energy, healthy low-carbon food, cheap & clean transport, we need a #GreenNewDeal, with local people at the forefront

New @ofgem price cap means Govt will force an average £900 extra onto energy bills - just when we learn Treasury due to spend *£24 billion* less than budgeted for last Oct. Let's be clear - Sunak & Hunt are making political choice not to help people through cost of living scandal

RT @AdrianRamsay: It was a pleasure speaking at @CambridgeUnion last night. High quality speeches on both sides.
I argued that a focus on growth at all costs has increased inequality and fuelled climate & nature crisis. The disastrous few weeks of the @trussliz govt being the most extreme example

#EllasLaw would set targets to cut air pollution by 2030 & make clean air a human right for all. It's passed all stages in House of Lords - yet Govt is dragging its feet in the Commons. This Bill is off-the-shelf, ready to go - why won't Sunak adopt it?
