Tree-burning #Drax power station is UK’s largest single source of CO₂ emissions—and a major air polluter. Yet ludicrously, UK Gov pretends its emissions are zero. Reports on its impact on primary forests have been covered up. Ministers are being played. Again. Great article by @dalevince.com

"Its a weed!" a man exclaimed as I snapped a photo for tonight's #WildflowerHour. "No, they're #UrbanPlants," I called back with a smile. So, let's chalk and talk about these plants by naming them and drawing attention to urban ecosystems #BotanicalChalkandTalk

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Councils across the UK want to protect us from climate change, but are being held back by lack of funding—from a leadership (Starmer & Reeves) which seems utterly uninterested. Excellent report👇 Here’s what councils want to do… and why they can’t. A quick thread 🧵1️⃣

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

Spidey sense tingling. Also sadly I'm quite sure that 👇🏻 @beeasmarine.bsky.social ☝🏻 has been mega hacked, can't retrieve her account, as she never ever tried begging for money with questionable sob stories and dodgy GoFundMe before.

"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid" When exactly are the international community going to do more than wring hands and make sad faces? Israel is violating international norms and rules of war. It is indiscriminately targeting civilians inc a million children
