We'd all like our public officials to be honest and not cover up mistakes. (We'd also love our elected representatives held to the same standard. ) How would it work? find out in this webinar:

MP WATCH has had a couple of wins this week. A couple of MP's written questions about #CCS storage are in to clarify the government's position. Labour have relied too much on cherry-picked figures from the last government in formulating policy. Donate to help us keep them following evidence.

Thames Water just got court approval to pile on more debt—on top of the billions it already owes. Meanwhile, leaks run rampant, bills keep rising, and execs cash in. Privatisation isn’t failing—it is the failure. Time to take our water back: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Dear Keir Starmer. Just another consequence of blocking the Climate & Nature Bill. Businesses can see that the UK's emissions targets are incredibly weak👇👇 A clear signal that the UK Gov is not serious about net zero. www.edie.net/hsbc-weakens...

[email protected] when you have climate professors calling your response to the CCS letter a 'farce' isn't it time to think again. #FakeSolutions like carbon capture & storage and sustainable aviation fuel will only delay action on Net Zero.

"In the face of the current wave of environmental backlash and net zero scaremongering, rejecting Rosebank is a golden opportunity for the UK to draw a line in the sand against the myths and misinformation" writes @carolinelucas.bsky.social in our latest blog. Read it now👉

I said this during the GB Energy debates. If we do not have energy security we continue to be dependent on the volatile international markets. This Money did nothing to bring greater energy security. We have the 3rd best wind resources in the world. Investing in reenables is good for lowering bills

UK Gov has no clear plan to cut shipping emissions. One easy way is to transition rapidly to renewables. Around 40% of global shipping carries fossil fuels, including the huge amount gas UK imports from the USA. www.edie.net/uk-governmen...

Many like @philmoorhouse.bsky.social and @aidthompsin.bsky.social (below) are frustrated by Labour aping of Reform. They didn't canvas on growth at the last election, it was about CHANGE. We're gutted that Net Zero is being sidelined. Can we have Sue Gray back? #WheresTheChange

Nigel Farage loses to everyone but Badenoch. Badenoch loses to everyone but Farage. This is why the other parties need to start pointing fingers at them and laughing rather than treating them like serious opponents and copying their increasingly extremist policies.

@carolinelucas.bsky.social and @rupertread.bsky.social are a powerful combination. They have teamd up here to make the case that those who want to see action and climate can and must learn from populism (but without needing any of its rampant deceit). www.newstatesman.com/environment/...

UK govt has awarded Drax more subsidies for burning trees for power. Critics say biomass power is bad for the environment. Drax says the subsidy extension is good news for energy security. The strike price is £113/MWh, around twice as expensive as some offshore wind projects.

Last week we had a success in alerting the Public Accounts Committee to the dangers of subsidies to Carbon Capture & Storage for new fossil fuel projects. So next month we will be at the court of appeal to watch this case. Please support

Carbon Capture and Storage is complicated. That's why we did a briefing on it here: www.mpwatch.org/climate-brie... But below @sioldridge.bsky.social gives you the headline points. 1. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A COVER FOR FURTHER FOSSIL FUEL POWER STATIONS.
