RT by @CarolineLucas: Government announces a £35m package to halt & reverse the slow death of the River Wye.
Much to welcome here, but as @watsonchas notes: "There's a thundering silence on critically important actions such as banning new intensive livestock production units".

Ever since Brexit I’ve wanted to write this book. Very excited that this time next week it will finally be published! We need better stories about who we are than the exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia of the Right. This is hopefully a start

The sheer cruelty of

is off the charts - and against unpaid carers of all people. One of my constituents inadvertently went over payment threshold at an extremely traumatic time, offered to pay it back and had to pay £1300 fine on top or be prosecuted. Absolutely shameful.

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.

If you've had enough of these endless conservative culture war fights over flags and all the nauseating exceptionalism that goes with it, you might well enjoy my new book Another England - out two weeks today!

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.

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
