Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.

Absolutely Loving this from Stenhousemuir. C'mon the Warriors. #YorkshireDay

Happy Yorkshire Day

That fossil fuel extraction is killing our planet - and hence us - is beyond argument now. That it is happening for the enrichment of already obscenely wealthy corporations is madness. That we're just sitting watching it happen is inexplicable. Start the fight back, now! Join @greenparty.org.uk

Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...

We could have had this 10 years ago and avoided the disaster of Brexit if the media had done its job right. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

So, Farage has another hissy fit about ‘the establishment’ not including him in social care talks even though he excluded himself by sticking his snout so deep in the trough he triggered several investigations into his insatiable greed. Pipe down you utter clown. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...

Reform MPs complain that Farage was not invited to social care reform talks - but his resignation means he is unable to | LBC

The Reform UK leader hit out at Mr Burnham for ignoring his party which 'led over 300 national opinion polls and represents thousands of councillors and millions of Britons across the country'

Excellent point about BBC's Burnham interview

It's noticeable, too, that there wasn't a single question on the climate, at a time when Europe is experiencing catastrophic wild-fires & record-breaking heat. It's astonishing how low down the political agenda this remains in Britain, when all the environmental indicators are signalling disaster.

Wildfires are raging across France and Spain, engulfing green spaces, threatening homes and forcing evacuations. This isn’t a faraway crisis. It's already happening on our doorstep. The climate emergency is here. And the need for action has never been clearer.

London faces 'exceptional' threat of wildfires this week

The capital faces a ‘perfect storm’ of rising temperatures, parched land and lower humidity

@ronanhession.bsky.social Should be lively at Vicarage Road today, can't move in London without bumping into Herta Rostock fans.

It's fine to complain about public services but all communities could be massively improved if residents took a couple of hours a year to pick up litter, weed pavements, clean signs etc.

Yes @drfcofficial.bsky.social I'm looking at you. Although I might as well piss into the wind, since the media department was taken over by the youth and they sadly stopped posting on here. #DRFC

Quite funny Nigel Farage calling for a general election and claiming Andy Burnham has no mandate when he isn’t even an MP and is locked in an electoral struggle with a bin.

Yet another example of how the British right-wing press is in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby. Still.

As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.

A new government sets its direction early. I've just signed European Movement UK's petition asking Andy Burnham to drop the red lines on Europe and set out a real plan for the UK's European future. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/5_asks_for_a...

Our 5 Asks for Andy Burnham

Andy Burnham must seize the moment to build a bold, forward-looking agenda for his administration to lead the UK towards a new European future.

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

THIS!

Please Andy Burnham, Don't waste £264 billion on Unproven Carbon Capture technology. Invest a fraction of that money on planting street trees for shade, restoring wetlands, peat and bog, preserving ancient woodlands, adapting the UK to hot weather - all Proven Carbon Capture devices!

BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

Just signed the petition calling on Andy Burnham to kick the controversial US tech giant Palantir out of our NHS & police! 🚨 Their £330m contract is a total bust: the tech is rubbish, staff are boycotting it, yet they still have access to our private health data: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Kick-Out...

Andy Burnham: Kick Palantir out of our NHS!

I just signed the campaign calling on the Prime Minister to kick Palantir out of our NHS and police, can you ad your name now?

Schools must update their safeguarding training every year. Yet the Government's latest statutory guidance still says nothing about climate change, even as children sit in classrooms above 40°C during heatwaves. Kit Marie Rackley reports #EduSky

New school safeguarding guidance has a climate blind spot

The latest safeguarding guidance has some strengths, but its silence on climate risk leaves schools to join the dots themselves

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.

@timcouncillor.bsky.social @mydoncaster.bsky.social Armthorpe needs a Kevin Keegan mural as a lasting tribute to a local lad who became a global superstar.

Badenoch just said, on national TV, that UK's carbon emissions have gone up "in total" because of the 2008 Climate Change Act. They have, in fact, declined by more than half. Did #Kuenssberg break in to point this basic fact out? Of course not

Oh bless em. I guess they might feel a little bit like people living in the North have felt for the last 50 years. #LevelUp #TheNorth

We pay our dues. They should too.

Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. We must stop this!
