So there we have it: the “benefits of Brexit” are bigger bonuses for city execs, while everyone else faces a cost of living crisis
It’s almost as if Nigel Farage was a city trader himself once...

Good - but it shouldn’t take the threat of judicial review by NGOs to persuade government to retract damaging guidance https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/20/government-retracts-unlawful-pollution-guidance-for-englands-farms?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

It’s official: @TheGreenParty is now the party of the countryside
PM is all mouth & no trousers when it comes to actual delivery on positive environment policies, so no surprise rural voters are flocking to Greens in ever greater numbers @AdrianRamsay

So exciting to finally be able to present my #RightToRoam Bill in Parliament
We only have public access to 8% of English land - yet access to nature has amazing benefits for our health, economy & climate
This is our land and our countryside - let's take it back

The Govt has a chance to join last-minute talks today to stop rail strikes – but instead it's playing pathetic political games by setting up "petitions" and writing letters to Labour
Time to stop stoking division & start addressing the serious issues being raised by rail workers

RT @carolecadwalla: It did almost crush me.
The only reason it didn't is because of my amazing lawyers & the generosity of 28,887 people.
But here's what you don't know. The judgment is *extraordinary*. 117 pages of FACTS.
About Russia, Brexit & the man who funded it.

RT @GreenPartyMolly: ‘Let me say this to Boris Johnson: don’t you dare shift blame for inflation onto working people’
‘Don’t you dare, after decade of austerity, privatisation and pay cuts, tell working families we have to put up with more pain’
Spot on from @FrancesOGrady

RT @campbellclaret: So this is how our media works. If a Labour PM had tried to appoint a mistress to a top job, virtually every paper would lead on it. Then the @BBCNews and other broadcasters would feel they had to follow suit, for fear of being seen as “woke lefties.” But because the right 1/2

We fully support @the_TUC’s call for an increase in wages, with public sector increases being funded by the Treasury."

RT @daisydunnesci: I worry a lot about climate change. Recently I've also been worrying about biodiversity loss.
Many think "biodiversity" just means species, but it really means *everything* that makes up the living world – and a lot of that is going, because of us

So WTO admits Big Pharma held back progress on global vaccines
But overall this #TRIPSwaiver (after screeching Govt u-turn) falls desperately short - too many lives lost already & can't wait 6 more months for full waiver "review"

Absolutely shameful that @pritipatel has approved Julian Assange's extradition to US - this sets a dangerous precedent for press freedom & democracy
US authorities are determined to silence him because they don't like what he revealed

The UK has breached legal air pollution limits since 2010, yet new @NAOorguk report shows Govt is doing nowhere near enough to stop it
Perhaps it could start by adopting @GreenJennyJones's #CleanAirBill #EllasLaw to protect our health once & for all

Such a powerful video from @Refill @CitytoSea_ on #WorldRefillDay
More than 150 million tonnes of plastic have accumulated in the world's oceans - small changes like choosing to reuse can make a big impact!
