DRAX power station in Yorkshire is the single largest source of carbon emissions in the UK– yet it's received £7BN in renewable energy subsidies from the taxpayer since 2012 .

With a new Govt , it's time to put an end to this gravy train– email your MP at https://t.co/PLMl89gfY1

[Tessa Khan @tessakhan]

BREAKING: The UK gov't has rightly recognised that approving the Rosebank oil field without taking into account the full extent of its climate impacts was unlawful. It has conceded that argument in our & Greenpeace's legal challenge against the field.
So what does that mean?

Hi @Unilever, the palm oil in your products shouldn't come at the cost of communities like Rio Mukti in Indonesia.

Nengah and Ketut are here in the UK to demand justice at your AGM. Will you listen and take action? #PlanetOverProfit

On Thursday 2 May, voters in #SouthYorkshire will elect their next Mayor. Would be great to see @NickAllen1987 @olivercoppard @HannahK_LD Douglas Johnson commit to making climate and nature a key priority by signing the @friends_earth Mayoral pledge https://t.co/0g9IT2GvUS
