Anyone with eyes can see the difference between these violent, tanked up, racist, vigilante rioters and ‘protesters’. Could those in the police and the media still using that description please just stop being so untruthful?

@Number10cat Yes! When she finally showed up…

This election's conspiracy of silence on climate & nature is deeply damaging - and totally out of step with the public. My reflections on 14 years in which the environment became a top priority for voters, despite timidity & roll backs from other parties https://t.co/rdzFSGCHfo

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

It's official. This dying, dangerous, divisive Government has finally admitted defeat & named the date. Now’s our chance to kick them out! Labour on course for landslide - making it even more vital to elect Green MPs to hold them to account & ensure fair future for all #VoteGreen

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Great to see the @nationaltrust's Borrowdale Rainforests designated a National Nature Reserve.

These temperate rainforests remain fragmented & under pressure – I hope this inspires nearby farmers and landowners to get involved in rainforest restoration:

The last time the UK held a general election in July was in 1945. Labour gained 242 seats in a landslide...

"UK government can never accept idea nature has rights, delegate tells UN"

Away with this soulless, reductionist worldview that sees the rest of the natural world as merely a resource. It has led us to this point of crisis.

UK quits treaty that lets fossil fuel firms sue governments over climate policies https://t.co/6k9SCs1mZs

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

🥀 The Labour Party are set to slash their £28 billion annual green investment pledge by around two-thirds.

⚠️ £28 billion was already an inadequate amount and this latest u-turn will mean dirtier air, higher energy bills and more climate chaos.

💚 Want Green? Vote Green.

A reminder that our third Taste of Faith meeting is tomorrow night at 7.30pm.

The first two sessions were very interesting, with lots of discussion, food and sharing of ideas, so we’re looking forward to this session on Judaism and hope that many of you can join us

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

418 years ago today Robert Catesby, Guy Fawkes and others attempted a plot to destroy parliament. I think they’d be proud of what the Conservative Party has achieved in the last few years.

Dear @RishiSunak

As someone who cares about the future of young people, I have some comments on your speech.

1. You say you're committed to #NetZero targets but you're ripping up the plans to meet them, leaving them hollow and unattainable.

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

Rishi Sunak is putting the Conservatives’ narrow partisan interests ahead of the common good on climate change, writes @mfletchertimes. https://t.co/kqYPEngklR

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This is as true today as it was 75 years ago.

RT is you agree Aneurin Bevan, the founder of the NHS, was an absolute legend.
