@KaiserChiefs “I predict a riot” is being used by anti asylum protesters at their rallies close to an asylum hotel in Seacroft, Leeds. I attend the counter demos and have heard it blaring out. Could you make a public statement disowning that? And promote our demo on 11 Oct? Ta.

@_JessCarter We love you Jess! You are a Lioness in more ways than just playing for England

The British Ban-it Corporation has pulled its coverage of Kneecap at Glastonbury. Pathetic pandering to the government and media. Shame on whatever suited & booted BBC exec made that decision @BBCNews

[Matt Price @Matt_Price_1971]

The BBC: try to ban Kneecap and when that fails refuse to air the set.

Bob Vylan:

Top set so far 🫡

Dear @RachelReevesMP, please support a wealth tax on billionaires at the G20. The super-rich shouldn’t get richer while the rest of us struggle — Labour must deliver on its promise of economic justice. #TaxTheirBillions

I've mostly stopped using Twitter for obvious reasons but I had to share this. @DaleVince is spot on here

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

‘Sustainable’ Aviation Fuel is an oxymoron. There’s nothing sustainable about it.

We can’t allow the industry to greenwash us in its pursuit of growth. It’ll undo all the progress we’ve made to green up our grid…

Heathrow’s Third Runway is a no-go.

[Nick Hodgkinson @NickHolteBoy]

@GreenAllianceUK @JohannBeckford @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live Some good points but it's not helpful to suggest the expansion of northern airports. We should stick to the simple message 'no airport expansion'

[Nick Hodgkinson @NickHolteBoy]

URGENT: The Government could let a third runway be built at Heathrow Airport. It would spell bad news for the environment. Will you join me and say NO to Heathrow expansion? https://t.co/ftdBOoKrsl via @38degrees

@Keir_Starmer Stick with your position. Our collective human future is hanging by a thread

@The_AEF @theCCCuk Hmm, that’s not exactly fulsome acknowledgment of the @theCCCuk scientific expertise

Is the environmental health of the planet in safe hands when it comes to market traders? 🤔

The EU ETS is designed like a financial market, argues @Tarim_E, and is therefore could be vulnerable to unscrupulous speculators. @ConversationUK

Great work from @transenv 👏👏

They've ranked current EU train operators and highlighted areas that need improvement.

Rail connectivity and reliability is crucial in the shift to lower-emissions travel! 💪 1/2

BBC on aviation & climate avoids any climate context https://t.co/vbJLEYBIIt
A 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C requires global CO2 cuts of ~19% year on year. For "well below 2°C" it's 7% pa.Yet we're still discussing angels dancing on the head of a pin. Where are the grown-ups?
