Refugees and community Smethwick. #BLM. Vice chair @BearwoodAction @BOSSandwell. Transport planner @MottMacDonald for climate and active travel #LFC ⚽🏆
On a day when the EU has unanimously voted to open itself up to Ukrainian refugees without the need to apply in advance for asylum, why is the UK not doing the same? @ukhomeoffice#UkraineUnderAttack
In the words of our letter, we are incredulous that an exception has been made for ExxonMobil. We should disinvest right now in a company that is not aligned with the Paris Agreement and spent decades (very effectively) misleading the public on climate change @churchofengland
'As members of the Young Christian Climate Network (YCCN), we are writing to express our deep concern and anger that the Church Commissioners are making special exceptions to continue investing in ExxonMobil.'

@AlokSharma_RDG Speaking as a transport planner, please change gear from electrifying cars and planes towards real investment in walking, cycling and public transport!
We’d love to shout out Josh, and the wonderful, life-affirming pilgrimage that he and others in the @YCCNetwork are making as they head north towards COP26 in Glasgow for a ‘decade-defining opportunity to make a stand.’ https://t.co/Yn8WGuwd9v. #RiseToTheMoment#COP26
Good morning @andy4wm, thanks for backing the West Mids as a 'Region of Sanctuary' at #WMElects21. We look forward to our planned meeting soon. Ahead of it we await your statement on last night's announcement as civil society leaders are ready to work w/ the @WestMids_CA on this.
Today marks 100 days to #COP26. We gathered 100 people who care about climate change in Parliament Square to send a message to @BorisJohnson & @RishiSunak: #TheTimeIsNow to step up, demonstrate real leadership & take concrete action for people, climate & nature’s sake.
Exciting job alert: Could you or someone you know help us at @YCCNetwork to coordinate hundreds of volunteers for the (much greater than) 750-mile walking relay from the G7 in Cornwall to COP26 in Glasgow?
Full time | 6 months
Thanks, @christian_aid!

SO EXCITED to be sharing that IT'S LAUNCH DAY for our 750 MILE WALKING RELAY from the G7 in Cornwall to the COP26 UN Climate Talks in Glasgow. To pull this off we need hundreds of people and we'd love YOU to be one of them. Rise to the moment. (1/2)

Plenty of reasons for hope but we're still well short of the 1.5 degrees target in the Paris Agreement - some reflections on progress to date and next steps, especially for churches
The UK has one of the strongest medicines and vaccines regulatory systems in the world.
I can say that with confidence as a former Health Secretary.
So, please, don’t believe the scare stories.
If the @MHRAgovuk says it is safe, it IS safe.
Like it says - for everybody interested in whether #UKAid is cut. Many different ways to tell the same story: cutting aid from 0.7 to 0.5% would be bad for Britain and bad for the world
A thread for everybody interested in whether @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak are intent on breaking a manifesto promise from the @Conservatives to both the country and some of the poorest people in the world and cutting our life-saving, world-changing #UKAid.
Reminiscing about how 2020 PFA player of the year nominee Sophie Ingle completely outclassed me (and everyone) on the football field back in the under 11s days when she was at Vale Wanderers and I was at Cogan A. Well done Soph!
