At the end of November, an estimated 800K dunums of #Palestine|ian land with olive trees have not been harvested due to Israeli settler violence + access restrictions. Many families who rely on the olive harvest risk losing their income for the entire year.

Wow!! Not only does Energy Secretary admit new oil & gas won't bring energy bills down - she also admits that more renewables like wind & solar *will*. Yet what do we get from this Govt? New oil & gas licences. Has Rishi Sunak been reading his energy policy documents upside down?

The Rt Revd Roger Morris, @BishColchester and Chelmsford Diocese Lead for the Environment has issued a statement about the Prime Minister's announcement on Net Zero policies. You can read it here https://t.co/0oKh76E7jO
This government is of grave concern: incapable of risk & cost analysis, devoid of leadership, obtuse, utterly cynical in political word games and deceit, lacking proper judgement, unable to plan and deliver basic changes, without capacity to govern or imagine a different future.
Prayers for @cebill_now outside Parliament today as @_OliviaBlake holds a briefing for the bill at 5.30 for MPs. We need MPs from all parties to support the bill tackling climate and nature crisis together. @CClimateAction
Posting these two articles for my own sanity and to mark moment of 'post-truth' from PM @RishiSunak today regarding new oil and gas. With right ambition renewable energy could meet our energy security, climate change and job creation needs before 2050 https://t.co/bM1Fiu41Cw
It is announced today that I have been appointed Dean of Southwark. To be entrusted with this ministry makes my heart very grateful and a little daunted.
Thank you @BarryGardiner. Finally a clear voice that grasps the seriousness of what we face and the lack of political will to act at speed and scale we need. Please continue this kind of conversation @BBCNewsnight we need much much more of this on mainstream national media.
July 2023 is set to be the hottest month ever recorded.
The consequences are tragic:
Children swept away by monsoon rains.
Families running from the flames.
Workers collapsing in scorching heat.
No more hesitancy or excuses.
#ClimateAction - now.

@Beccabell05 Glad you have found this lovely series, beautiful theme tune, gentle, recognisable characters. I sometimes visit Danebury when I need a break.
