One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

‼️Reform will privatise our NHS.

Amnesty UK welcomes the judge's ruling that the ‘Barclays 5’ will not be sentenced as terrorists. The ‘Barclays 5’ were responsible for the direct action against Barclays bank in Burnley in August 2024.

Just logging on to the BBC News site so that I can see what’s on Nigel Farage’s mind this afternoon.

The area of the National Trust’s Holnicote estate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown. Continue reading...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… It won’t come as any surprise that the first significant rainfall in the South East has meant the coast of South East England has lit up like a Christmas tree with pollution alerts on the Surfer’s Against Swage app. #SouthernWater

“The whole thing is such a massive scam [..] that most people can’t believe it.” Recently I hosted a screening of the docu-drama exposing the sewage scandal, Dirty Business, in Norwich. It was important to me to platform the real people behind the show, like Ash Smith of @windrushwasp.bsky.social.

For years, London's children’s lungs lagged behind. Now they’re catching up. A major new study shows the ULEZ cut exposure to toxic NO₂ and reduced impaired lung function from 14% to 9%.

A liveable future means no new oil and gas. Andy Burnham must say no to Rosebank and Jackdaw.

ULEZ will be the best decision any London Mayor has made since the Clean Air Act in 1956 was enacted after an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 Londoners lost their lives in the 1952 London smog. Sadiq Khan who finally implemented the zone in 2019 londondaily.com/significant-...

Today, a new hosepipe ban came into force - yet nearly 3 billion litres of water is lost a day from leaky pipes belonging to privatised water companies. That's 5x more water than a nationwide hosepipe ban would save. We need to bring water back into public hands now.
