💬 “Despite the UK being one of the most nature depleted countries in the world, Thérèse Coffey is attending the UN biodiversity summit empty handed.”
@adrianramsay on our calls for a Rights of Nature Act as COP15 gets started 👇
Painful to witness Starmer in tortuous arguments about “making Brexit work” when it clearly can’t and won’t. Pretending we can prosper just as well outside the EU as inside is intellectually dishonest, as mounting evidence shows #r4today
🚨 BREAKING: Thames Water has seen their first-half profits soar to half a BILLION pounds - but the company also saw a surge in burst pipes and raw sewage discharges.
Anyone else think their profits should be used to fix water infrastructure?
Today, Israel killed Omar Mana’, a young baker from Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem. He was trying to protect his brother, who was also arrested. Every day, Israel’s occupation is getting more brutal and costing more lives. Time to end the killings! Time to end the occupation!
"Three Cornwall beaches polluted after sewage overflow."
In 2021 local water company @SouthWestWater paid a "special dividend", of £1,500,000,000 to shareholders.

Oliver Dowden's claim that PM is "personally committed" to climate action is ludicrous - shamed into going to #COP27, he plans huge new oil & gas extraction, has failed to meet financial pledges to climate vulnerable countries, & removed climate ministers from Cabinet #kuenssberg
8:23am Friday morning.
From the Bristol Channel to the Thames Estuary, sewage dumping on an organised, industrial scale all of it caused by just 2 companies, @SouthWestWater & @SouthernWater.
And the @DefraGovUK, @Ofwat & @EnvAgency does what exactly?
BREAKING: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just £1.40 PER DAY.
Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living.
Anyone else think our government should do something similar?

💰 A wealth tax on the richest 1% of people would help us out of the cost of living crisis and set us on a path towards a fairer, greener country.
❓ Will the PM do the right thing?

"Raw sewage dumped into River Thames, Oxfordshire by Thames Water."
A @thameswater spokesperson say that they "had to allow a consented discharge of sewage".
I'm sure local MP @robertcourts can explain how what was illegal on 25th Aug is now legal.

FGS. Starmer has come out in support of the government's Public Order Bill, the most repressive legislation of the modern era.
Does he really believe this sh*t, or is everything he does an attempt to appease the Sun and the Daily Mail, both owned by overseas oligarchs?
