An open letter in support of the volunteers and staff at the RNLI

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th...

Just Stop Oil protesters sitting peacefully outside Parl’t on Wed were escorted to police stations; masked thugs were escorted, still Masked, to train station. JSO protesters were released, mostly alone, in the early hours. Some had their return tickets, Oyster cards & railcards confiscated.

How about ‘but what are they protesting? The idea that the RNLI should not rescue people in trouble in the sea is abhorrent and inhuman and we should be utterly repelled by it.’

Emma Reynolds on Sky with a fairly robust response to the new far right agitation in Portsmouth overnight, and the events in Dover: "As a politician, I absolutely support the right to peaceful protest, but this has crossed the line. This is thuggish and intimidating behaviour."

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

The Rothbury Estate covers 9,400 acres sandwiched between two #nature reserves.

That 50% of people think immigration is the most important issue facing the UK, while only 25% think it's the environment, tells you all you need to know about how the media (especially the BBC) has pushed the non-issue of immigration, while deliberately downplaying the threats to our environment.

Two-thirds of UK news articles about wildfires this summer haven’t mentioned climate change - but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away, it just makes averting the worst of it even harder @eciu.net

Two-thirds of UK news articles about wildfires this summer haven't mentioned climate change

Analysis from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit adds to concerns that national newspapers are failing to link this summer's extreme weather to climate change and the net-zero policies necessary to mitigate its drastic effects.

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE.

People of Clacton! Show your support for me by putting a bin outside your house, one day this week, of a colour of Tendring Council's choice. This will be unequivocal proof of the success of my campaign.

If Nigel Farage loses Clacton to a refuse receptacle his career ends. A vote for Count Binface is a vote to end Trumpism in the UK.

As the UN Secretary General says, every new fossil fuel project approved today makes tomorrow’s heatwaves more dangerous & our world less secure. I hope Andy Burnham is listening. Caving in to the fossil fuel lobby as the planet burns would be unforgivable

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.

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

I really hope this is unfounded rumours. Hard to believe @andyburnham.bsky.social would approve new oil & gas production when the International Energy Agency, Lord Stern and other authorities advise against. Especially when we've just seen the hottest June day ever. @stopcambo.bsky.social

Stop Rosebank@stopcambo.bsky.social · 2mo ago

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?

I agree with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social here. CCS huge, ultra expensive - £264bn - white elephant - allowing fossil fuel use to go on when it shouldnt. And the tech is far from proven. And bioenergy with CCS could be a land based, natural disaster. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
