If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now… https://t.co/dfAstBeuoh

Or not flying at all

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

SAF is not the answer for net zero flying. Flying less is the answer.

Let's pass the #CANBill to drive the science-led action necessary for a liveable future.

🚨 BREAKING: MET POLICE RAID JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTER'S HOME

Joe was arrested this morning for allegedly thinking about taking nonviolent action at airports last year.

For THINKING about taking nonviolent action. LAST YEAR.

@YvetteCooperMP is this what democracy looks like?

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Make no mistake, Trump’s rhetoric and actions seek to sow seeds of hate, deliberately causing chaos and creating divisions in our society.

These same forces threaten to undermine our democracy here in the UK.

@TheGreenParty offers Real Hope through cooperation for transformative change. We’ll support the most vulnerable, create green jobs, and protect our NHS. This isn’t just wishful thinking. This is Real Hope and Real Change. Together, we can make it happen.

On Friday night, 280 people gathered outside HMP Eastwood Park, where Gaie Delap is currently imprisoned, for a vigil led by Quakers.

Friday was Gaie's 78th birthday.

Gaie was returned to prison because the tagging company failed to fit a tag after she was released.

🚨 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL PAINT CHARLES DARWIN'S GRAVE

🔥 This action follows the news on Friday that the world has smashed through the "safe" 1.5 degrees of warming limit agreed by world leaders.

Today the National Trust launched a 10-year strategy with ambitious plans for nature & climate. Almost every paper reported positively - from the Mirror to the Express. Even the Mail. Only one outlet has used the word ‘woke’ and framed climate as a ‘culture wars’ issue. The BBC.

[ClimateMediaCoalition @ClimateMediaCo1]

Truly extraordinary attack by BBC on exciting @nationaltrust climate & wildlife restoration 10 year plan!!

[Rachel Smith-Lyte @SmithLyte]

@BBCNewsnight @faisalislam +much as I feel sorry for Californians WHY are news outlets and BBC in particular going on about it? USA largely architects of own downfall by not recognising 🌏 limits. Almost no mention some in UK been flooded out a 3rd time gives the message we don't matter. It's got to stop.

🚨 BREAKING: SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR GANTRY CLIMBER

Abigail Percy Ratcliff was found guilty by a jury at Chichester Crown Court today, after she climbed a gantry over the M25 in July 2022.

Abigail, 25, took action prompted by UK temperatures topping 40C for the first time, causing multiple fires to spread through the country and resulting in the busiest day for the London Fire Brigade since the second world war.

At the same time she was found guilty and sentenced, fires continue to burn through Los Angeles.
