Big thanks to Jamie at the Chesterfield @VodafoneUK store for taking the time to help my aged father access his online account this week. So often these days old people are penalised for not being tech savvy so it’s great to hear about good customer service! Thank you 🙏☺️
Today is the #Inglorious12th - the start of the red grouse shooting season. This outdated, unjust “sport” is underpinned by crime, and supports nothing but a scorched landscape which is void of balanced biodiversity.
Pls RT if you’d like to see an end to this practice - for wildlife and people.

Story by me https://t.co/QcLQvWTA0G
There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..
It's responsible for more greenhouse gas pollution than all the world's transport. Yet there has never been a word about reducing it in any global climate agreement. Livestock farming. If you don't address it, kiss goodbye to climate targets. My column.

We must keep this in the news - it’s no coincidence at the very moment workers say enough is enough Sunak plans to rob millions of them of their democratic right to strike, force them to work against their will & allow them to be sacked if they refuse
I’m very sorry to report that @CambsCC have approved the felling of 1000 ancient fruit trees within an orchard just outside #Cambridge for a new bus route to…get this…tackle climate change! 😖 Please continue to support @BonkersBusway. It’s not over yet

The recent spate of tree destruction has left people feeling justifiably angry. That anger is a manifestation of our love for nature, but we must not let it make us bitter. Let us transmute anger into action with this 🧵 of tree campaigns you can support & actions you can take…
People are easily brainwashed and Big Oil have billions at their disposal to pay trolls to flood twitter with lies that everything is rosy and that people want to believe to maintain business as usual even as our climate and nature visibly collapses
Something very weird is happening on twitter. I’m worried my tweets aren’t visible to people today.
Seems very weird that we’d launch such a serious and significant petition to a quarter of a million people and would only have 200 signatures so far… https://t.co/qPFafu31XK
"This is going to have to be resisted on the streets, through campaigns and through industrial action. We can’t do that alone. We need everyone with us."
@RMTunion's Mick Lynch on why we need to defend the right to strike.
RT if you're with him 👊

This is going to fucking kill our families. When will famous people other than David Attenborough and the royals go on TV and tell it like it is and wake the masses up to what their kids are going to go through?
Hen harrier chicks stamped to death in nest on grouse moor in Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Why has it taken 6mths for police appeal? This is blatant censorship of raptor persecution crimes, designed to assist the grouse shooter's narrative.

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from @GeorgeMonbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.
