Elise has secondary breast cancer which has spread to her lungs, liver and bones.

All she wants is control at the end of her life. To know she won't be forced to have a drawn-out, painful death.

To not live in fear of what is to come.

Peace activists in the UK have been sentenced as terrorists. They were not charged or tried with terrorist offences and the jury was not informed that the defendants could be sentenced under terrorism laws. The judge ruled there was a ‘terrorism connection’

The evidence has been clear for a long time.

Yet we still had to go to court last year to fight for active travel funding in England.

And now newly issued government guidance on transport allows councils to spend “dedicated funding” for active travel on road schemes!!

@AskNationwide I received an email about voting but it was empty. I would like it sent again successfully. I also want to know that I can vote for the customer representative

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

Government is now allowing "dedicated funding" for active travel to be used for other transport priorities!

Shocking news exactly one year since we won a historic Court of Appeal victory against cuts to walking and cycling.

@LucyHunterB @RachelWilde13 I think people with these views are ill-informed, almost certainly deliberately. The impact of drugs on young people’s bodies is horrific. Yet that’s what they are wishing upon them. So irresponsible.

@GreenJennyJones is proud to support the Wildlife and Countryside Link's 'Let's End Bycatch' campaign.
Every year, thousands of marine animals are needlessly killed, when they become entangled in fishing nets.
The government must take action now to preserve our seas and oceans

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

The British fishing industry suffers from a profound moral rot.

And our politicians are not brave enough to do anything about it.

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

On this day in 2025: We won a landmark victory at the Court of Appeal against the cuts to the cycling and walking budget.

Now? New flexibilities for cash strapped councils risk hollowing out the “dedicated funding” for cycling and walking.

What is most important about the absolutely horrific attack in Northern Ireland is, first, the victim and his family and, second, that the attacker was completely insane.

No normal African or Sudanese person thinks that beheading people is acceptable.

There is a legitimate question about how the attacker was granted refugee status in 2023. And he ought to be now deported, without question.

But the biggest and more difficult challenge, which politicians and commentators are predictably avoiding, is the extreme mental disorder of people who commit such heinous crimes.

We need to have a robust policy response about how to properly detect, monitor and detain people with dangerous mental disorders that are a threat to public safety.

But loads of politicians or journalists can’t be bothered to properly investigate, because it’s not politically fashionable, they’re addicted to social media and/or the systems in place for those with dangerous disorders are complex to understand

Good news. Bluefin tuna numbers are recovering after coming close to total collapse 20 years ago. Catch restrictions have had a dramatic effect - a lesson for other fisheries.

@greenbenali You might find our Essex-Kent Superlinks report on alternatives to the Lower Thames Crossing interesting.
Spoiler alert: They bring better results at a fraction of the cost! https://t.co/jyjjCk4Y4I

Unpaid carers provide vital support and prop up the NHS and care sector - yet too many are themselves left to struggle without the support they need.

This #CarersWeek, I urged the govt to take action to provide greater respite care and ease the strain on unpaid carers now.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Well done @NatalieBen. I'm proud to have supported Natalie and campaigners in building support for the Nature's Rights Bill.

This landmark Bill would instill legal protections and create a duty of care towards the natural world,

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

It’s a scandal that, for one of the most important transport connections in the UK, no serious exploration of alternatives to the Lower Thames Crossing was ever undertaken - until we did it! 👇

The problem with this argument is that the overwhelming majority of meat produced in the world comes from animals that spent their entire short lives crammed miserably in vast feedlots and factory farms, kept alive on a constant supply of antibiotics. Compared to which, alternative proteins are a dream come true.

Tomorrow, MPs will debate her petition, signed by 114,000 people, calling on the Government to act to ensure the democratic process is respected, in light of the deliberate obstruction of the assisted dying bill in the House of Lords, despite the bill receiving both MP and public support.

Ireland’s datacentres used 22% of the country’s electricity last year, more than all urban homes combined. And the number is still growing.

Around the country, a huge tree planting programme of our most important native tree is underway. But no bureaucrat decreed it in a policy paper, & it relies on no government funding. This mass planting is being carried out by nature herself.

2025 was a ‘mast year’ for acorns. In order to have the best chance of reproducing, some trees like oaks all produce a huge amount of acorns in the same year. This sheer abundance overwhelms creatures like squirrels that snack on the nuts, as they simply can’t eat them all.

Now, in woodlands & fields across the country, we see the results of this self-directed tree planting. Huge carpets of baby oaks that in some places are so thick they look like a grassy green lawn. I’ve honestly never seen so many oak saplings in my lifetime & this scene is all the more incredible given the oaks somehow knew to coordinate their reproduction like this.
