🚨 LEGAL ACTION LAUNCHED. I’ve sent a protocol letter to MMO challenging dredging licence in Tees
Just 31 samples to assess safety. Our marine life deserves better 🦭🌊
I'm not trying to shut the port,just ensure it's SAFE.

Tees Seal Pups vs Defra
In the week the government reveals its Environment Improvement Plan, our investigation into the seal pup mortality in Tees Estuary shows how hard it may be to persuade Defra to take it seriously:

A grid of samples across the dredged area would be able to detect contamination hotspot, hopefully finding the PCBs that are compromising the seal pups - https://t.co/ErDQjOLw2p

Over the 10 years of the previous licence 150 samples were taken to support the dredging of over 1million tonnes of contaminated sediment a year which was disposed of at sea - https://t.co/ErDQjOLw2p

Mark Carney, "The lessons of Brexit are beginning to be applied to the United States"

"When you break off or substantially rupture trade relationships with your major trading partners, Canada included - the most important trading partner of the United States"

"You end up with slower growth, higher inflation, higher interest rates, volatility, weaker currency, a weaker economy"

"We're seeing the early stages of that in the United States"

Thanks to @RosieP4 for this ‘badge’. So I’ll also happily tweet it out.
I’m asking everyone to save this image and use it to reply to every post @RachelReevesMP and her little gang posts. We must fight for our natural spaces, our waterways, our wildlife. Team Bat. Team Newt 🦇🦎

Excellent to see Labour getting rid of the arbitrary deadline to register all historic rights of way.

Landowning lobbyists had got the Tories to put in a deadline of 2031 to register 49,000 miles of lost paths.

Next step: a right of responsible access!

Must watch explanation on clean energy by @g__j on #BBCQT - also watch Tim Stanley squirm repeatedly when Jackson gives answers

Greg Jackson, "We've crossed the rubicon.. Clean energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels"

"Power from wind and solar is cheaper than power from fossil fuels"

"Consumers don't see the benefits because our markets are run in the old traditional way"

"We need market reform so when we build wind farms, people get cheaper energy"

"It doesn't help that we are paying wind farms to turn off when it's windy, instead of giving people cheap power at those times"

"59% of all of the renewable energy has been built in China"

Fiona Bruce, "They're also building huge coal plants"

Greg Jackson, "The majority will never be used, they'll be mothballed"

"Why are they building green energy? It's not because they're nice people. Now they recognise clean energy is cheaper, and energy is the engine of growth for their industry, they're investing in it"

"Six or seven years ago if you went to Chinese cities people wore face mask because of air pollution.. That's gone"

Tim Stanley, "If you have a period where the wind dies and the sun doesn't shine, what happens, you have to rely on back up.. Rely on gas.. Import the power from overseas"

Greg Jackson, "Allow me to help you with this answer.. As somebody who buys more power than anybody in the UK.. I can give you an authoritative answer on what to do"

"An electric car holds enough power in its battery for a typical house in the best part of the week"

"As more and more electric cars hit our roads, we have distributed storage of electricity, days on end, without wind"

"It's not the whole solution but it's a big part of it.. And it helps us reduce our reliance on things like those fossil fuel backups"

"It's always windy somewhere, it's always sunny somewhere.. As we connect our country to others.. When they're windy we get their power, when we're windy we sell ours to them"

"By the way, we are one of the windiest places in the world.. This is a huge export opportunity for the UK"

When is Net Zero actually Not Zero.
Sadly when its on Teesside producing 10s of millions of tonnes of extra CO2, not best way to spend £4bn of UK funds.
It has to be stopped, so I just supported this case! https://t.co/hHnIf9F7Zo via @CrowdJustice

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Left: Boris Johnson says we got the vaccines because of Brexit

Right: Dr June Raine (CEO of the MHRA - Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), "We have been able to authorise the supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law which exist until the first of January"

Brexit did not enable a speedier vaccine roll out because we were still using EU law to roll our the covid vaccine
