We spent last weekend in Castlefields, talking to the constituents of Lucy Powell MP. They want her to give parliament time to ratify the Global Oceans Treaty, the best chance we have of saving our seas. Send her your own message here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... @lucympowell.bsky.social

Historians of today wonder if fascism had been stopped in Ethiopia or Spain, could World War Two have been prevented. Historians of tomorrow will wonder about Ukraine and Palestine. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

SAVE THE DATE: Our petition to Ban Driven Grouse shooting will be debated in parliament on June 30th. We be sharing a briefing for you to send to your MPs next week - watch this space!

'Martin Porter said “Large fossil fuel projects can’t go ahead without insurance. Unlike the oil companies, who publicly deny the science and have no other game they play, insurance companies know the risks of climate inaction.”' aboutmanchester.co.uk/manchester-i...

I can see me!

Well done @mancgreenpeace.bsky.social The government MUST sign the Global Oceans Treaty PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO

Keep your eyes open round Manchester for these posters. We want teh government to ratify the Global Ocean Treaty, and Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell is the key to this. @lucympowell.bsky.social

’We call on each and every one of the delegates to become climate heroes themselves and to help change their industry,’ says spokesperson Extinction Rebellion (XR) is set to hold a protest with a model sports car at the upcoming Biba Conference. www.insurancetimes.co.uk/news/extinct...

As someone who has watched The Last Of Us I'm a bit worried by this ... aboutmanchester.co.uk/climate-chan...

Any #Fellas out there wish to give Derbyshire County Council their opinion on this? #Ukraine

'Mr Porter said "The campaigners who ended fracking in Lancashire learnt their trade by coming to Barton Moss, and the brave councillors who voted against Cuadrilla did so after seeing our campaign on their TVs. "When the camp left in 2014 we had won."' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More coverage in the always excellent @aboutmanchester.bsky.social of the final end of the risk of fracking in Greater Manchester. Star Energy (formerly) IGas are off. We won! aboutmanchester.co.uk/fracking-bat...

It really is all over at Barton Moss now. Star Energy (formerly IGas) have decommissioned their well and are to start restoring the site this year. We won! Well done to everyone who helped out in any way with this amazing victory. People Power! www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

I'm in the Manchester Evening News, celebrating the final, final end of the threat of fracking in Greater Manchester. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

My 'editorial' in the Derbyshire UNISON newsletter on the importance of voting to stop Reform UK gaining control of Derbyshire County Council

Is it the right day now??!? Happy St George's Day everyone

Amazing KINDER RISING swim trespass today attended by hundreds - remembering the unfinished business started by the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass in 1932, & calling on Labour to make history again by passing a Right to Roam Act. Great speech too by Labour MP @philbrickellmp.bsky.social!

Great turnout for the @righttoroam.bsky.social Kinder Scout Mass Trespass anniversary walk and wild swim. Remembering my grandfather who was there in 1932

Swasticar gets a ticket in Hayfield today

This is how Nazi Germany worked. The only difference is Hitler's goons were on the payroll, whilst MAGA sub-contracts via social media.

That would be me then. You can hear me speak at 7PM if you want.

A very significant pontif. His book Laudato si' is a blistering criutique of capitalsim as well as a plea to save the environment.

Happy Easter! 🐣 Thank you to everyone working over the Easter weekend to keep us safe, warm and healthy 💜

We discovered water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of this planet a few years ago, but now the James Webb has discovered rarer gases. This isn't conclusive proof of life, but it's pretty damn close. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

In 2023 Patience Nabukalu, a climate change campaigner from Uganda, came to Manchester, where she joined a protest calling on Chubb not to insure the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). Well, we Chubb have said they won't cover EACOP. We won! This is a huge win for the climate.

I'm in the paper.

We spent Saturday at New Islington Marina, where the constituents of @lucympowell.bsky.social MP want her to get ocean protection done by allowing parliament to ratify the Global Oceans Treaty. Send your own message to the government here: docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLS... @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Remember the racist riots last summer? Nigel Farage spread disinformation and complained of 'two tier policing' whilst we were out on the streets facing off the Far Right thugs. In three weeks time Reform could run Derbyshire. Use your vote wisely on 1 May. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Global Oceans Treaty is the best chance we have of saving our seas from the dangers of climate change, overfishing and deep sea mining. Send a message to the government today: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We've been out campaigning in New Islington, where people have been telling their MP, @lucympowell.bsky.social, to give the House of Commons time to ratify the Global Oceans Treaty.

The only thing tanking faster than the stock market right now is the Democrat Party's popularity amongst its own voters. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Just like it did with Ukraine, the USA signed a treaty to defend Greenland. This means nothing to the Trump administration. avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century...
