[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Thank you for speaking to our future...@nationaltrust

[National Trust @nationaltrust]

After a summer of wildfire and floods, and records broken here in the UK, yesterday's announcement is barely fathomable. Future generations will ask why, after these stark signs, the government would put this country’s global leadership on climate change into reverse.

Fairness should absolutely be central to any change, but it is not fair that our children will have their future blighted by the poor decisions made today. It isn't fair that businesses that have invested heavily in pioneering green technologies and the jobs of tomorrow will have to put their plans on ice, nor that changes in policy endanger our much-loved cultural heritage and natural environment, undermining everything from food security to our health and wellbeing. And it isn't fair that the poorest in our society will lose out most in the future.

Progress towards Net Zero must be sustained, not kicked down the road for political expediency.

We urge the Prime Minister and his Government to rethink.

In today’s Sunday Times-Jonathan Sumption on war with France, Brexit and cancel culture ‘He has little time for social media. “The way algorithms deliberately reinforce existing prejudices and therefore eliminate nuance/doubt is symptom of the narrowing of our intellectual world’

France needs to invest €66bn a year on climate action, government report states – @EURACTIV https://t.co/lgMnv922kC

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

1 in 3 women around the world experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime – mostly by an intimate partner.

We can all do something to help eradicate this human rights violation & major public health problem.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right for people fleeing violence, persecution or war.

We have a duty to help refugees rebuild their lives.

Wherever they come from. Whenever they are forced to flee.

@ELPinchbeck Sorry you have to put up with this Emma, people tend to reflect their own beliefs, experiences and actions onto others so it says more about the individual in question than anything else.

Electricity distribution earnings from ex WPD push National Grid profits to £4.6bn https://t.co/cto6PkZhOq

[James Murray @James_BG]

On the same day the WMO says we are likely to breach the 1.5C warming threshold, the Environment Agency pulls forward its Thames flood defence plan by 15 years. Adapting to that there climate change is going to be expensive. https://t.co/uZWyTESeqO

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

🌡️ Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.

More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall & other weather extremes further increase risks for human health & ecosystems.
