Bobby Sands famously said:

“They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of one Irishman 🇮🇪 who doesn't want to be broken.”

The same is true of Palestinians 🇵🇸

🚨BREAKING: TOWER BRIDGE BLOCKED

Today, Youth Demand and a coalition of groups shut down the bridge to demand the UK Government stops arming Israel. 

This is just the start. In the next weeks, young people will be doing the same all over the UK. Sign up: https://t.co/rqU3Oswm2K

@Stevie_Poacher Surely we should trust Jim Gavin et al and the massive process they went through to get to this point.They know better than us! Lots of negativity around adopting the rules as a package. The rules all compliment each other. Hand picking 2 favourites won't have as good an effect.

I stand with @ClientEarth in demanding that Marine Protected Areas are respected by ocean fisheries and oil companies.

Together, we can ensure marine life thrives, and we all thrive with it.

As the UK government announces it will back Europe's largest plastics project, I am joining @ClientEarth to support them as they take legal action agiainst food and drink companies' over-reliance on plastic.

Paris is investing £225m to transform the iconic but car-choked Champs-Élysées boulevard into an “extraordinary garden.” Among other things, 140K on-street parking spaces will be removed. Bold city-building leadership from @Anne_Hidalgo & team. Via @TheB1M

£4.9 billion profits, up 40%, when your nan daren’t leave her immersion heater on. There is something unfathomably wrong with this. But hey, don’t pay attention to these cowboys, look at the boat people instead.

#NoNewOil

[Damien McGovern @damomcgovern]

We want a safe climate now and for future generations, @RishiSunak

Don’t approve more oil and gas drilling

#NoNewOil #StopRosebank

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

You might have spotted us on @RishiSunak’s roof.

We knew:
- He wasn’t in
- How to climb up safely
- How not to cause damage

Rishi knows that new oil and gas:
- Won’t lower bills
- Won’t give us energy security
- Will wreck the climate

🚨BREAKING: Climbers are on the roof of Rishi Sunak’s mansion draping it in 200 metres of oily-black fabric to drive home the dangerous consequences of a new drilling frenzy.

A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.

[Brendan May @bmay]

Those damned climate protestors walking slowly, causing havoc and delays in Rhodes this afternoon.

Oh, wait- sorry it’s the climate causing the havoc.

Mass holiday evacuations have now begun. Perhaps we should build more wind farms or something.

Iran is reaching the limit of human survival as temperatures hit 66C (152F) 💀

This is what the Extinction in Extinction Rebellion means. If temperatures increase above 5C globally, we face an existential risk.

Everyone gone. Forever.

Don't let it happen.

Yeah, it’s a bit hot, but it’s summer. Let’s keep drilling for new oil. Who cares about about our kids and their kids’ future anyway?

@CahairOKane1 In the derry defensive structure, apart from the two man marking full backs, is there really any actual match ups? McKague and McEvoy will watch their men (not the ball) and the other 12 will shuffle left and right on repeat, no?
