The government can explain the data as it wishes, but the numbers don't lie. We need ministers to start treating this with the seriousness it deserves. They must bring forward a Clean Water Bill that matches the scale of the challenge we face. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq6d0y5e3mjo

The government is creating a false choice here. Creating jobs and apprenticeships is crucial, but it should not – and need not – come at the expense of environmental standards or community benefit.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

Peatlands are vital for some plants & animals, and are carbon sinks that help combat climate breakdown. But they're being lost & damaged through human activity & impacts of climate change, including wildfires. Choosing peat-free compost is one way to help: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/Pro...
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
