The damning statistics that reveal the true cost of Brexit, five years on www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Merry Christmas! Today Ofwat have approved bill hikes for all water companies, with Southern Water topping the charts at 53% over the next five years. We’ve made it very easy for you to email your MP today to let them know how outrageous this is - campaigns.sewagecampaignnetwork.org.uk thank you

The Guardian is pushing ahead with its 'sale' of the Observer. But the journalism continues... If you value the Guardian or Observer, I urge you to read this. It's my attempt to investigate 'the money behind the money'. Who is 'buying' us? And why? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

This Thursday Ofwat will confirm how much our water bills will increase by over the next 5yrs. Southern Water bills are set to rise by 84%… if you think that is a joke, please sign below…

Great turnout for our MP Briefing on the water industry this evening at Portcullis House 💪🏼🆘🌊 and special thanks to @greenjennyjones.bsky.social for coming along to support us too 💚

International talks on curbing plastic pollution fail to reach agreement

In truth, every single major piece of legislation ought to be this somberly undertaken, this well attended, this carefully considered, and this passionately, but cordially, argued. If our elected chamber can be what we witnessed today, why can't it all the time?

Please consider signing and sharing this petition to stop the government from using public money to bail out private equity (again). Thank you 💪🏼🙏🏼🌊🆘

We have been told over and over that this is just ‘algae’, does it look like algae to you? 🤔

🚫 ACCESS DENIED 🚫 The environment sector has a problem with diversity. A 2017 Policy Exchange paper found it is the country's second least diverse profession. Little has changed since. In this podcast special we ask what lies behind the sector's problem with race and what is being done about it ⬇️

Huge thanks to @greenjennyjones.bsky.social @premnsikka.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for their relentless work on this bill so far 🙏🏼 As it moves into the Commons, now is the time for public mobilisation 💪🏼 Watch this space…

Didn’t somebody once say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Let’s end this never ending cycle of public bills bailing out private equity and bring water back into public ownership, now. www.ft.com/content/bc6e...

Tory Govt sewage-dumping South West Water £453m subsidy; £40m a yr since 2013. Company paid over £1.5bn dividends. It has 174 criminal convictions, paid fines of £4.54m. People fleeced - high bills, subsidies. Labour opposes public ownership of water democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-g...

Wales this weekend – climate collapse happening before our very eyes . We need to get serious . It’s why I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads . lovera.ge/ban-ffa 🧵

Holy sh*t. If climate breakdown doesn’t already keep you up at night, spend a moment with this gif. Nice work @edhawkins.org

If this post from @premnsikka.bsky.social has shocked you as much as it’s shocked us, please consider signing and sharing our petition calling for public ownership, we are so close to 300,000 signatures - www.change.org/p/return-the... thank you 🙏🏼

The brilliant @spoonybear.bsky.social writes about this new place we call home - long may it continue to be a safe space for conversation and connection 🙏🏼🦋

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
