@James__Shooter @OliviaMLondon If we had a Citizens Assembly on the Climate crisis and the public heard the facts on Carbon capture then I pretty much guarantee that we wouldn’t be spending £22b on it. @edmilliband01 @Keir_Starmer Time to involve ordinary citizens.

[Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 @Kate_Bradbury]

Imagine if they spent £22 billion on restoring peat bogs, the oceans, forests (proven carbon capture), or on public transport, insulation, solar – literally anything but this, which is just playing into the hands of the fossil fuel bros and delaying the transition to green energy

[David Eminson @david_eminson]

@steviedubyu @dpcarrington The other potential benefit of leaders leading by example is that they are more likely to put in place policies that tackle the climate emergency, which is also essential.

[David Eminson @david_eminson]

@GreenJennyJones So where has @LabourGov found this £22b from? It’s a lot of £30,000 breakfasts they’ll have to sell - oh wait that’s just for the party. Unbelievable.

A few months ago, the Science Museum dropped oil and gas producer Equinor. As we approach the 1 year of the genocide in Palestine, it is high time for the Science Museum to drop Adani.

Oil & gas companies ARE NOT investing in the transition. It's a sham.

92% of North Sea oil & gas companies plan to invest NOTHING in UK renewables between now and 2030.

Only 8% of North Sea oil & gas companies will invest ANYTHING on green energy.

We're used to extreme weather disasters in the Global South not generating much media attention, but Hurricane Helene has wreaked "unprecedented havoc" in the USA, wiping entire communities off the map, and it's barely talked about

Shifting baselines, or downplaying? Both?

bad about those Just Stop Oil protesters throwing soup over a pantings protective case though #vangogh

HUNDREDS have joined together at Southwark Crown Court today for our #FreePoliticalPrisoners Exhibition.

We’re holding a mirror up to the judicial system to show that what they are doing today - imprisoning peaceful protestors - is nothing new.

@XRNottm Property always more important than nature in both politicians and judiciary minds. We need a citizens assembly - what are politicians frightened of?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Depressing reflection of media priorities that focus is all on frocks & football tickets, rather than on real obscenity - that Labour is accused of receiving £4m, its largest-ever donation, from a tax haven-based hedge fund with shares in oil and arms #bbclaurak @openDemocracy

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

Today, campaigners hand-delivered a petition to Attorney General Richard Hermer KC, at the Ministry of Justice.

Signed by over 60K people, the petition calls for an end to the imprisonment of peaceful protesters, including the #WholeTruthFive

We lack leadership at all levels on climate and nature chaos and here is some evidence of why. Let’s challenge our politicians with this. “We can't be too saintly”: Why members of parliament in the United Kin... https://t.co/RVV0oYIvu4

@EtienneStott @xr_GPsAndElders Even in the face of Central European flooding, Portuguese wildfires South Carolina and Mexico flooding, Shanghai storms - but still @BBCNews won’t mention climate change never mind #FossilFuel #Don’tlookup whatever you do.

[David Eminson @david_eminson]

@BBCNews - you are complicit in your silence. Central Europe flooding and Portuguese wildfires @BBCOne news at 10 and you only have a local woman saying “it’s nature - what can we do?” unbelievable and criminal. #FossilFuel or #fossil-fools

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Poland this morning. General lack of coverage in the media who are more interested in the Emmys. How can we save ourselves if the public doesn’t understand what’s happening?

[David Eminson @david_eminson]

Scientists warn 70% of the world’s population to see rapid increase in ‘unprecedented’ weather. Maybe @BBCBreaking could cover fossil fuel causes as Central Europe floods instead of ignoring. https://t.co/HRRdRNH23S

Clean rivers, vital for health, wildlife and recreation. Time for a Citizens Assembly on the state of our waterways @Keir_Starmer @DanielZeichner @carla_denyer @XRNottm @XRUK_Actions

What % of UK citizens know that 'jurors have an absolute right to aquit a defendant according to their conscience.'

[Plan B Earth @PlanB_earth]

Thank you @EllieChowns for the question

The Solicitor General's response implies that compliance with international law is no concern of the @attorneygeneral or UK gov:

https://t.co/ko3SN9ZLhG

She also suggests that conviction is a matter for juries. Are you aware @sarahsackman of the measures to prevent juries reaching not guilty verdicts in the trials of those exposing corporate violence and lies? Such as removing all legal defences from the jury's consideration? And banning the use of the words 'climate change' in court?
