For the sake of a handful of votes, #RishiSunak is helping to trash the habitable planet. A man without principle or substance.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

If most newspapers and some TV stations here weren't owned by frankly psychopathic offshore billionaires, almost everything about this country would be better. Good stuff would come easier, bad stuff harder. But politics is dominated by people who couldn't give a damn about us.

Sunak's U-turn is a reflection of the total Europe-wide collapse of the market-based, neoliberal consensus on how to tackle the climate crisis. It marks the centre‐right's new path. And with the Left AWOL, our species is being quickmarched to extinction

Utter chaos, confusion and uncertainty from the Govt.

We’re in a climate emergency. Now is not the time to water down vital net zero measures.

The Govt are undermining business confidence and passing up a huge opportunity to reduce bills, create jobs & increase our prosperity.

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

Now we can see the devastation #climatechange will bring, with Libya floods and Antarctic ice loss. That’s with 1.2C rise so far. ⁦We’re heading towards 3C. So ⁦@RishiSunak⁩ decides to weaken green policies under pressure from the right. Really? https://t.co/v7d3JNflKJ

[Sir David King @Sir_David_King]

The day before the UN General Assembly where climate is the critical topic not only is the UK PM not attending but now we see clear reneging on our Net Zero commitments. In the face of a deepening crisis what does this say to the world?

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Absurd that Solicitor General is prosecuting a pensioner for silently holding a sign with the law written on it. It shows how afraid government & judges are that juries will not convict activists when they are told the true scale of the climate crisis https://t.co/uc5ayDjAMn

Truss is ludicrous and clearly unhinged but she's just a symptom. The disease which caused her, a puppet of libertarian funded think tanks, is the utterly dysfunctional conservative party which gave her the top political job in the land. We must get rid.

HELP! 40 climate activists from @fossilfreeLDN targeted a Beatles exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in #London singing reworked Beatles songs, in protest at the gallery's dirty fossil fuel sponsorship by Bank of America

The BBC #Brexit appeasement needs to be challenged and @stephenfry shows how easy it is to do this 👏

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

I'm currently the target of a significant scam operation on Twitter involving 100s of profiles . They come in the form of paid-for adverts claiming that I made money from cryptocurrencies , then using my fake 'endorsement' to encourage others to invest too . . .

For the avoidance of doubt , these are all scams .

Please RT !

And @ElonMusk @Safety - please fix this !

A short film about why the dirtiest and most antisocial economic interests dominate our politics. I believe it's the key to understanding the terrible state we're in.

To escape the helicopters and jokes about Chiswick and Daniel K (labradoodles, rental prices, and local screenwriters already having written the part for Tim Chalamet) we decamped upriver to Teddington Lock where there is a more peaceful swim. The Vermouth Belle played its part.
