There is now no way to claim asylum in the UK. You cannot claim asylum either in the country or out of the country.
We have now formally abdicated all responsibility to asylum seekers.

I feel deeply sad and ashamed.

"A YouGov poll from last week showed that nearly 70 per cent of us want more action on the climate crisis."

'The real zealots are the fossil fools of No10 Downing Street', says @DaleVince in the Express.

‘Adventurers’ who paid £250,000 each for dangerous thrill of a lifetime expedition ultimately cost taxpayers countless millions. Refugees, desperately fleeing for their lives, pay 3000 euros and also cost millions. Both journeys risky, but only one is essential.

Wow. Hard hitting observation 😥

A ~4,000 mile long stretch of severe marine heatwave conditions extends all the way from the coastal waters off of West Africa to the coastal waters just south of Iceland.

We are witnessing one of the most extreme marine heatwave events ever recorded in modern history.

Here’s a peek at our new ‘grid scale’ battery storage units - undergoing factory testing now - they’re due to be installed and live on the grid in time for this winter - when the grid needs support the most.

We’re installing them at our most recent Wind Park (Alveston in south Glos) and hoping to add a Sun Park next for a three way hybrid energy park - and grid share.

There is no justification for any province of the Anglican Communion to support the criminalisation of LGBTQ people: not in our resolutions, our teachings, or the Gospel we share.

#MorningPrayer
God of love and peace,
by your life, death
and resurrection,
you have reconciled us
to yourself,
to one another,
and to all creation.
Inspire and enable us
to live in,
and to live out,
the healing love
of your kingdom;
may our lives reveal
the unity we have
in you.

@CottrellStephen Absolutely Archbishop. I also pray that @DioceseOfYork and @churchofengland Commissioners will divest from fossil fuel investments. An important and prophetic act. @OperationNoah 🙏💚🌍

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Every day, the equivalent of over 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic is dumped into our oceans, rivers & lakes.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay is a call to #BeatPlasticPollution.

We must work as one to break our addiction to plastic, champion zero waste & build a circular economy.

“Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
I was recently asked which book (apart from The Bible!) I’d found useful in ministry so far. This may not be a classic leadership book but it’s been a useful reminder on my desk to ask myself ‘is this my responsibility? Is this my monkey?’

The @churchofengland pension board has voted against #Shell bosses at its AGM because closed-door climate talks have ground to a halt. This is the kind of action we need to end the #FossilFuel industry's power and influence and accelerate a just transition to #RenewableEnergy
