RT @GreenPartyJack: The Today programme has a dedicated segment every morning for business news. In 2022, it really ought to have the same for climate news. I’ve listened to the entire show today, and I believe we’re about to mark a complete show with no mention of climate. This cannot continue.

RT @GeorgeMonbiot: I argue that the BBC, as much as any other body, caused the disaster that has befallen the UK. Almost every day, it breaks its own rules to give dark-money thinktanks a massive platform, without revealing who funds them and on whose behalf they speak.

RT @CarolineLucas: Great to see @greenpeace in Tory party conference asking who voted for this? They’re right - nobody voted for more fracking, tearing up nature protections or the £ in free fall.
We need a general election now #CPC22

RT @GreenPartyJack: With what has happened in Italy, we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that we have a far-right government in this country. If we were observing our current cabinet governing any other country, our media would refer to them as “far-right”.

RT @capitanotonz: The EU has just passed a law that ALL device chargers for cell phones and Tablets will be universal, thereby we will need only one charger for all regardless of make. This is above all great for the environment and convenient. However the UK refused to adhere to this scheme, WHY?

Brilliant grilling by @GrahamLiver of the new PM about the Govts proposal to (attempt to) revive fracking in #Lancashire
Words fail me to describe the awfulness of Truss responses.
