Yet again the Govt is doubling down on planet-choking oil & gas - this time *underneath* offshore wind projects. However hard they try - powering fossil fuel production with renewables won't change the fact that most emissions are caused by burning it 🤦

RT by @CarolineLucas: A former Tory MP says

“this is a deeply irresponsible and divisive move that goes against all advice from the International Energy Agency or the UN, and further sets back UK’s climate reputation

"A political and cynical stunt that will only backfire"

It's been yet another awful news week in UK politics, so thought I'd share a story from
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Brighton
that did make me smile this week: looks like 4 Peregrine Falcon chicks have hatched at Sussex Heights this year! You can view the nestbox camera here:

This video is a powerful reminder that we should never take democracy for granted. If you have the right to vote, use it - whether it's tomorrow in the UK, or, if you're an EU citizen, at next month's European elections

Important debate in Parliament today on the shocking levels of youth homelessness. This is a huge problem in

With Netanyahu looking set to launch imminent attack on Rafah in defiance of international humanitarian law, I challenged PM to finally find moral backbone to ban arms exports & end UK complicity in crimes vs humanity. But clearly not. How much more suffering will it take?

It's important that reports like this one from
https://nitter.privacydev.net/BBCNews
tell people how much the Rwanda scheme is actually costing us. It's not £3k. Eg.
https://nitter.privacydev.net/IPPR
estimates £228k. People deserve to know how much extra this Government is willing to pay to be this cruel.

The

commitment to phase out coal power by early 2030s falls far short of what the
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23climateemergency
demands.
For a liveable future we need to urgently phase out *all* planet-choking fossil fuels - coal, oil & gas - & richest countries must lead the way
