You state the UK government "needs to walk the walk" on the climate and nature crisis @annietrev,that being so, how can with the same breath authorise the first deep coal mine in 30 years (Cumbria) ? Its absolutely abhorrent, ecocidal hypocrisy. #CEEbill

Whilst standing at the site, taking pictures & speaking to witnesses, the police started pushing me & threatening to arrest me, though I repeatedly explained I was a barrister who was there for lawful purposes. They then fined me £200 & said I would be arrested if I didn’t leave

[LawyersforXR @XRlawyers]

Lawyers, we have the right to do our job especially in these difficult times !!!

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Outrageously, I have just been fined £200 under the covid regs for daring to do my job as a barrister and to assist activists in the tunnel at the Euston anti-HS2 protest to halt actions by the the National Eviction Team that threatens their safety.

@Ls4Ca released in October the first Law Firm Climate Change Score ranking. You can see in there how much law firms contribute to climate change.

[Law Students for Climate Accountability @LS4CA]

THREAD: We just released the Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard, the 1st ever study of top law firms' role in the climate crisis.

A large majority of top law firms are on the wrong side of history--and we have the data to prove it (1/8)

🚨Tomorrow the Supreme Court will overturn the Court of Appeal’s judgement in favour of Heathrow’s expansion which would mean at least 40 million tonnes of CO2 by 2050‼️Tim Crosland has broken the court embargo as an act of civil disobedience to protest against this decision.

[Plan B Earth @PlanB_earth]

BREAKING: HEATHROW VERDICT

I am breaking the court embargo on Heathrow to protest against the injustice of the verdict, which is a betrayal of the younger generation and those on the frontline of the crisis in the UK and around the world:
