Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards

So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

Incredible scenes in Afghanistan today as male students walk out of their university exam in protest against Taliban’s decision to BAN women & girls from university.

The time is now for men across the country to rise and stand in solidarity!

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

BREAKING: The Taliban have banned women from universities.

This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don't respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.

It had to happen eventually - "woke capitalism" cited in this piece. And an appeal from @UKSIF CEO James Alexander: “It’s really important to recognise the country that they hope to lead is not solely made up of Conservative party members." https://t.co/o6PTr4Uqrm

@helenbarrett It was entertaining imagining how Boris Johnson would cope if he took his enthusiasm for delivering to a job with Royal Mail. But I'm now truly over hearing it, especially when they're too scared to say what's in the pipeline: "delivering... for the public." What are we getting?!

!!! California’s Attorney General just launched an unprecedented investigation into the fossil fuel + petrochemical industries and plastic pollution.

This starts with a subpoena to ExxonMobil to determine its alleged role in deceiving the public: https://t.co/jKPoEScwd5

Next question is from a grumpy shareholder linking a reduction in HSBC's share price to its climate commitments

He accused the bank of being distracted by the climate crisis

I’m glad this has been picked by @PrivateEyeNews the money being thrown at this company is eye watering & their ideas aren’t particularly original. I want to see what is going on with Holes Bay first & foremost which we secured just before the Tories took control 20 months ago

@Will_Robins I'd argue cost of living crisis calls for care and responsibility rather than generosity but yes this govt has shocking record on all the above and I do think it links to some kind of ideology. But labelling the ideology might lead to trolling so I'll leave it there...

[Christine Dawson @steane_d]

@Will_Robins I don't think they believe in thinking

I've just signed up to count my plastic waste. In some ways I'd rather not look at how much I throw away, but it will be interesting to see the results from thousands of people taking part in the #BigPlasticCount

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

Solving the plastic waste crisis requires BOLD thinking and BOLD action.

Sign up to The #BigPlasticCount, count your plastic for one week, and together let’s gather the evidence needed to push for proper change 👉 https://t.co/30budkTewM
