Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇

Climate change denial and calls to delay action have been pouring out of Tufton Street for many years, but the IEA is clearly ramping up its climate culture war even further now - and the Conservative Party is following suit.

You couldn't make it up: our waters are full of shit, but rather than giving Ofwat new powers to protect our environment and hold water companies accountable, the Government is instead imposing a legal duty on them to consider economic growth.

Over 600 UK legal experts have now written to remind the UK Government of its obligations under international law to act to prevent genocide. Merely demanding explanations from Israel doesn't cut it. Weapons sales must stop now.

Delighted that the planning committee

voted to grant planning permission for

Hippodrome today. Big cheers from the public gallery and wonderful to see campaigners able to add “saved” to t-shirts following the decisions 👏

What we do in this decade will have impacts now and for thousands of years. We cannot afford for the UK to be MIA on the climate emergency for another 5 years. My piece in

1 month to go until the May elections. If you're not yet registered to vote, you've got just 2 weeks left to apply. And thanks to this awful Govt, you also now need photo ID to cast your vote - if you don't have one, apply for a free voter ID by 24 April

Hippodrome as the application to restore this historic treasure finally comes to

Planning Committee tomorrow. I'm hopeful councillors will recognise this is THE chance of a decade to bring it back to life:

This makes for a great April Fools Day joke, but it's an outrageous everyday reality that politicians do this. There's a revolving door between Westminster and the fossil fuel industry and it's got to stop. More on my debate in Parliament on this:

I asked about compliance with international humanitarian law. No answer from unelected & unaccountable Foreign Sec, platitudes from his stand in. Yes, food aid to Gaza is critical. No, it doesn’t excuse UK’s complicity in imminent famine or failure to hold Israeli Govt to account

Bottom trawling is destroying our marine habitats. It’s outrageous it's still allowed in our MPAs - our so-called marine ‘protected’ areas. Join me and
