The Kirby Misperton Protection Community are defending North Yorkshire from #fracking attempts at the KM8 well, after a successful DA campaign in late 2017.

Lawyer for Cuadrilla asks judge for ruling at earliest possible point on Friday, says company had been hoping to start fracking on Friday. Says that every day the company is injuncted and unable to frack is costing it £94,000

No political party or NGO can/should take credit for the cutting stop in #HambacherForest - it is thanks to years of direct action and occupation, of couragous and autonomomous people, organising collectively and putting their bodies in the way. Let's not forget that #hambibleibt

Climate campaigners are often accused of not communicating well. We're too negative or too positive or too hard or too soft. Well, let me tell you, we have tried *everything*. There is no magic formula for defeating industrial lobbyists and public hostility.

The new #fracking Tsar, an MP, Castle Howard, @CPRE, @F_F_Ryedale, a Cllr and the local conservative president. Chuck in 100 people with differing views and the national press! Should be interesting... #LetCommunitiesDecide #Fracking

CEO of Qatar Petroleum, world’s biggest LNG exporter, says it’s “difficult to believe” in IPCC 1.5C report because doesn’t spell out cost of getting off gas. Saad Al-Kaabi says not dismissive of report but can’t see how world can reduce gas use sufficiently with renewables alone

Nice of @CuadrillaUK to make sure people are able to witness them trashing the #Lancashire countryside against the wishes of the people and the health of the planet 🌍

[KM Protectors @KMProtectors]

And we’re done! With the last of the trials following arrests at the KM8 #fracking site. Third Energy still haven’t fracked that well, here’s hoping they won’t be back! We’ll be there to meet them if they are.

Last night's beautiful #sunset over Ryedale. Long may it remain #frackfree!

.@patrickharvie asks the First Minister about the rights of fracking campaigners, who have been labelled “domestic extremists” by Police Scotland

@NicolaSturgeon says she will always respect the right of people making peaceful protests #FMQs

One year on.
Kirby Misperton Protectors return to KM8 to celebrate another #FrackFree year.

[David Mackie @ma6kie]

Who would have bet then that, a year later, no frack would yet have taken place at #KM8? https://t.co/sA4IvBVMRB

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Unbelievable.

@claireperrymp has just granted premission for another #fracking well at Preston New Road - just two months after it trampled over local democracy and approved the first.

And they've done it during recess so MPs can't hold them to account.

Happy Anniversary to the protectors of Kirby Misperton. It's a year to the day since this assault on democracy took place, as people were ruthlessly dragged aside by @NYorksPolice to allow 1st #fracking vehicles to enter KM8 against the overwhelming wishes of residents.
WE WON!

2 @Third_Energy Directors RESIGN as accounts deadline looms!
These cowboys once said they'd be #fracking by LAST #Christmas!
It's been a YEAR since their HGVs hit Main Street, Kirby Misperton and they still haven't achieved ANYTHING! Except a whole bunch of organised opposition!
