Tax the rich.

Psst…the only way to stop climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels. Pass it on.

Memo to Ed: nuclear is outdated, hugely costly & far too slow. Hinkley Pt C is already years late & tens of billions over budget. Nuclear isn’t zero carbon, it won’t be “always on”, we still haven’t found a safe way to dispose of waste & it poses huge security risks @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

This proposal by the BBC is explicitly anti-democratic. As @natashadevon.bsky.social and others have pointed out, more women are moving to the Green party than are men going to Reform - yet the national broadcaster is falling over itself to pander to the extreme right. Why?

We've got a great opportunity at the Liverpool Echo. You can be the person to tell me that my intro was inevitably too wordy. Apply here: jobs.smartrecruiters.com/ReachPlc/744...

It is a law as old as the hills: Permit agents of the state to use violence against civilians to "maintain public order", and they will use it to advance private and particular interests.

If we want to prevent the most catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, there must be no new oil and gas drilling. The evidence could not be clearer. So why won't Starmer commit to leaving all fossil fuels in the ground?

“Give new dads six weeks off work at full pay.” Fixed it

We love to see community energy getting the attention it deserves🤩 @briznrgcoop.bsky.social helped Latcham triple their solar panels, from 400 to 1,276, at zero upfront cost 💸 ✅ Cheaper bills ✅ 542 tonnes of CO₂ saved ✅ A greener future powered by community energy What’s not to love? 💚

There was no Reform UK Landslide! Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming @northwestbylines.co.uk

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Transport remains Scotland's largest source of emissions. But it doesn't have to be. 🚌 Provide reliable, affordable & accessible public transport 🚴 Invest in walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure 🚆 Increase rail connections and ferries as an alternative to flying

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

IMAGINE asks #OceanRebellion how much damage a net as big as ten jumbo jets causes as it drags across the seabed. It catches everything in its path, destroys marine life, releasing the ‘blue’ carbon stored there. Bottom trawling emits more greenhouse gases than aviation 1/4 youtu.be/zddTB9PzmsA?...

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

The UK Government pushed for the Global Ocean Treaty, agreed by the UN in March, so they should show leadership by implementing it and support a ban on deep sea mining immediately. Can you join me and call on David Lammy to deliver global ocean protection now? Thanks ✍️ act.gp/44M8iQA

On World Oceans Day, our oceans are in crisis. Industrial fishing, oil drilling, warming temperatures and plastic pollution threaten one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Tell DavidLammy to deliver ocean protection! action.greenpeace.org.uk/protect-ocea...

Putting solar panels on new build homes is a no-brainer. It cuts energy bills, reduces emissions, and sets us up for a greener future- built in from the start.

Today's Berardelli Bonus - Dust Invasion Engulfs Florida! It's actually quite typical this time of year. But do you know the mechanisms that make it happen? And that the Florida and Bahamas coral reefs may not exist without the dust? It's vital! Here's more...

Love this story - the sacred (religion) providing sanctuary for the sacred (nature). Some of these trees protected by Chinese temples are thousands of years old www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hunts kill foxhound puppies who don’t “make the grade,” sometimes just over markings. They use a brutal method called thumping—smashing puppies against hard surfaces to kill them. It’s cruel. Foxhounds deserve better. Tell your MP to stop this now. Link in comments 👇

The Scottish Government must recommit to action on climate and nature. Recently we've seen Galloway National Park dropped, Flamingo Land given the go ahead at Loch Lomond, and the heating bill watered down. It's not enough to talk a good game, we only have one planet, we need to look after it.

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

Snares don’t kill cleanly. They torture. England is the last UK nation allowing this cruelty. Why is animal suffering still up for debate? Make your voice heard—sign to ban snares NOW: protectthewild.org.uk/ban-snares/

Tune out the blah blah. This right here is why the climate crisis continues unabated and why we will cross 2ºC Emissions MUST fall by 5.5% THIS year and EVERY year thereafter until 2030 if we are to stand a remote chance of staying below 2ºC - there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of this level of reduction.

"Not only are they content to sell off nature to the highest bidder, they’re only able to do so because they’ve utterly failed to defend the regulations that once protected our environment" Damn right @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On #WorldEnvironmentDay I asked the First Minister to push forward plans to link Scotland to France by ferry, providing cheaper and cleaner transport for people and goods to mainland Europe.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 More than 5️⃣0️⃣ environmental groups demand that the government increase it's funding to DEFRA. ✉️ A letter sent to the prime minister and Rachel Reeves, warns that Labour’s credibility on environmental protection is on the line! 🔗 riveractionuk.com/news/defra-c...

Deputy leader of @greenparty.org.uk said: “Labour once again showing there’s nothing they won’t learn from Reform. Not only content to sell off nature to the highest bidder, only able to do so as they’ve utterly failed to defend environmental regulations." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spoke to the Guardian today about the urgent need to protect nature. Full article below 👇🏽

Following a letter from HXR and Bank Better, the Lancet now refuses adverts from fossil fuel companies and the banks who fund them, driving climate chaos - “the greatest global health threat facing the world in the 21st century” healthforxr.com/following-hx...

Senior @bankofengland.bsky.social staff members who resigned from climate and nature risk supervision roles have complained the central bank neglected the issues, leaving the UK financial sector underprepared, under governor Andrew Bailey www.ft.com/content/c991...

Destroying our natural wealth makes us poorer in every sense of the word Partha Dasgupta’s landmark study provided a way to put a value on nature – but many fear the report has been sidelined www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is Toasted Marshmallow (Toasty). His adoption has fallen thru twice due to reasons unrelated to him. He's was feral until 8 weeks old so he's scared at first but once he warms up to you, he's the cuddliest cat in the world. He will need another playful cat to live with. 1/2

Only about 24 hours in and we're already almost 1/3 of the way to the goal! You guys are AMAZING! 😭https://givebutter.com/catsofyore

Pakistan’s solar and wind boom just got a boost—cheap Chinese batteries are making clean power reliable day and night. Factories like Lucky Cement are ditching fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and keeping the power flowing. When tech gets affordable, the energy transition speeds up.

Privatised water monopolies have failed, clearly and catastrophically - and it's customers and the environment that are paying the price for shareholder profits. It's long past time to bring water back into public hands, where it belongs.

Has any party’s prospects? (SDP/Lib Alliance in 80s, Tony Blair & New Labour in 1990s?) been talked up as much by the broadcast media as REFORM? Feels like only one party matters? Will this continue til 2029? Sign for plurality now. We need to hear all parties petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
