What a performance what a message ..

[Dr Andrew Boswell #CarbonReckoning @Andrew9Boswell]

Hugely important letter to PM Andy Burnham from @KevinClimate &Tyndall colleagues.

Rapidly shrinking global carbon budgets were ignored when Govt set the recent Seventh Carbon Budget - now a key ground in #CarbonReckoning legal case https://t.co/pzsc1X6BHm (see below)

Drone footage has shown hundreds of tonnes of "revolting" illegal waste, fly-tipped in a field next to the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire. The cost of removing the waste is estimated to be more than the entire annual budget of the local council

BREAKING: A major war crimes complaint has been filed against 10 British nationals who served with the Israeli military in Gaza.
The case could set a legal precedent in the UK @CPSUK @metpoliceuk @ForstMichel @CIJ_ICJ @ICJPalestine

If the Rosebank oil field goes ahead, the UK public will cover 84% of the cost of developing the project.

We'll end up giving Rosebank's owners Equinor and Ithaca Energy billions in tax breaks.

Equnior made £24 billion last year.

We're being ripped off #StopRosebank

Thank you @LaylaMoran

[Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ @LaylaMoran]

We have been asking for recognition of Palestine for so long. Govt say they will when it's most likely to achieve peace. But it's not about that anymore. It's about ensuring the existence of the country in the first place.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall joined 1000 others today for an occupation of the road outside the Royal Courts of Justice, as the ‘Lord’ Walney 16 face a mass appeal against the extreme sentences handed to them for peaceful protest.

A Nature Restoration Fund to help developers meet their legal responsibilities for nature *could* be positive if it's done well, but it mustn't become a free pass for unsustainable building.

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/

[#StopRosebank @StopCambo]

BREAKING 🚨: The UK Government has admitted in court that approving Rosebank without taking into account the full extent of its climate impacts was unlawful.

Now our court case is a straight up fight between us and the oil and gas industry.

[#StopRosebank @StopCambo]

BREAKING 🚨: the Scottish Courts have given the go-ahead to the legal challenges against Rosebank - the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK.

We are going to court.

While absorbing the distressing news that the contemptible Michael Gove has a series on BBC radio, I cling to the memory of last night’s final of the BBC Young Musician competition and dream of a time after Tim Davie and a return to civilised values. https://t.co/rsmYYgfMX2

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Today I presented a bill to Parliament: the Water (Agricultural Pollution) Bill.

My bill draws attention to the fact that the Government's own Water (Special Measures) Bill makes zero mention of agricultural pollution - despite the fact that it is such an important problem. 1/2

Listening to his constituents @CalumMillerLD #BotleyWest #RenewableEnergy

[Calum Miller @CalumMillerLD]

The proposed Botley West Solar Farm does not deliver on key community benefits.

I will continue to work with developers and local groups to ensure any renewable energy projects properly involve the community and benefit them in a meaningful way.
