We are one of most nature-depleted countries on Earth - yet from sewage scandal to reckless #REULBill, Govt policies have utterly failed to protect & restore our precious nature. This simply has to change. Sign @cebill_now's #UnitedForNature petition 👇

Hunt's recent budget slipped out a grotesquely unfair requirement for UC recipients to be available to work 30-hour week when their child turns 3, or face sanctions. Many single parents already struggle with current 16-hour requirement - yet Ministers utterly uncaring as usual 👇

Our Earth is being pushed well beyond safe limits - scarce water availability, unequal food supply, failing ecosystems. It's not just our planet which will suffer - the poorest people are paying the highest price. Climate justice requires social justice.

An oil giant running a climate conference would be farcical if it weren't so serious. #COP28 isn't meant for greenwashing & cover-ups of human rights abuses - it's a vital diplomatic tool to tackle #climateemergency. Sunak must use it.

Congrats @GreenJennyJones - I’ll be voting against this attack on democracy👇
RT @TheGreenParty: 🚨 The Government are attempting unprecedented action to force through an amendment to the Public Order Act that has already been rejected by Parliament.

🗣️ Lobby your MP now to vote against this attack on democracy and call on peers to support @GreenJennyJones' fatal motion. https://t.co/sFbi1s6Kbk

RT @MarinaPurkiss: What might Govt do if worried about us protesting against them?

Well…

They could change ‘serious disruption’ in the Public Order Bill to mean ‘anything more than minor’

And…

They are.

@GreenJennyJones has tabled a fatal motion to try & stop this…

Depressing to see Starmer boxing himself in on #Brexit, claiming problems can all be “fixed” from outside the EU. Ironically he calls for honesty - yet it’s precisely honesty that’s absent from claims that we can “make Brexit work” - we can’t & it won’t https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/brexit-rishi-sunak-labour-daily-express-britain-b2348811.html

Net Zero Watch spreads deeply dangerous climate denial & delay. Shameful that Tory MPs like Andrea Jenkyns, whose party could be about to approve climate-wrecking #Rosebank, are at the heart of it. Time to kick dirty fossil fuel interests out of politics.

Partygate rule-breaking. VIP contracts for mates. Care homes left unprotected. Covid Inquiry is vital to ensure lessons are learned & bereaved families get justice. So every Govt delay or obstruction is a mark of shame. We need the truth, the whole truth & we need it now.

Unbelievable: oil giants seized control of global climate conference & are now airbrushing out criticism of their blatant hypocrisy on Wikipedia. If COP28 is to help tackle #climateemergency it must be free of dirty fossil fuel ties & outrageous greenwash

RT @StopCambo: "Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.

But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.

Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral & and economic madness."
