🚨The first stage of the trial of Shell V Ogale & Bille communities is taking place in the UK High Court today.
Shell has been in the Niger Delta since the 1950s, generating billions in profits.
For the local communities who live and need the area for their livelihoods - it’s a different story.
The land they farm has been poisoned.
The fish they eat is contaminated with oil.
The water they drink is toxic.
And, Shell could walk away without being held to account.
We can’t let this happen - no clean-up, no justice.

We call on Iranian authorities to halt the executions of Pakhshan Azizi and Verisheh Moradi, quash their convictions, and release them immediately.

Well this is ridiculous. Rather than fix our sewage problem @RishiSunak, @DefraGovUK and @theresecoffey want to fudge the numbers and stop tracking it instead. Let's make sure they know we won't stand for that: https://t.co/sNWJMj58hM
@duolingo Hello. We’re off on holiday and will have no connection. Whole family desperate not to lose their streaks. Can we transfer gems between us? Or protect ourselves in some other way?
HUGE relief - the @GovUK have officially scrapped the Rights Removal Bill 🎉
The bill would have ripped up our Human Rights Act - a blatant power grab to give people in power MORE power.
Yet, there's still work to be done. 🚨 The fight is not over.
@UkHomeOffice ’s migration plan is inhumane, expensive and ineffective. And now the Courts have declared it unlawful too. Will you join me and demand the Government scrap the Rwanda scheme once and for all? https://t.co/Bw0i0HSQlM

An independent BBC needs an independent Chair! I’ve just signed the petition demanding the DCMS Committee makes the selection of the next BBC chair an independent process. Will you join me? https://t.co/EFZu5Vn5oK
Our BBC must be able to hold those in power to account without fear or favour. With every day BBC boss Richard Sharp remains in post, he's further damaging the independence and impartiality of our country's biggest media outlet. He must go NOW. Agree? https://t.co/S5MlWrFn6e
