It's not just about climate chaos. It's also about landscape chaos. The damage we do to the land's hydrology is layered on top of the damage we do to the atmosphere. Our mismanagement of land commits us to a cycle of flood and drought. We can change this, as explained here. Please read. Thanks.

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

They knew burning oil was making us sick and heating the planet — but lied to keep doing it. They knew plastic could get into our bodies — but increased plastic production >200X since 1950. There is no question Big Oil CEOs are mass murderers. The question is: Are Big Oil CEOs serial killers?

As Israel goes to the polls today let us all pray they don’t reelect war criminals. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

"This is some of the strongest evidence so far that the #AMOC has weakened over the last 40 years.”

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

This story went up late on Friday and got less attention than it otherwise might have done. A sentencing hearing on Friday was told three participants in the Tory election-betting scandal - dismissed at the time as "a flutter" - would have made nearly £50,000 if undetected www.ft.com/content/510e...

Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.

The media have ignored the Covid Inquiry outcome. All those deaths directly caused by Johnson and Hancock ignoring advice. They need banging up. But we are moving on. Because the media say we should. Failed 6yrs on by our media colluding with the vile Tories. Never forget.

Farage caught out in blatant lie He pretends to care about poor people while proposing our NHS replaced by US-style private healthcare where the super-rich get excellent care the well-off go bankrupt the poor left to die "Our NHS is not safe in Nigel Farage’s hands" www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9fnI...

Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

UK lacks essential electricity transmission/storage systems. Billions paid to solar & wind turbine farms to switch off during periods of high sunshine/winds, expected to cost £8bn a year by 2030. National Grid pays dividends. What is the Govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

As a white man in my 70’s I approve this message.

If the economy grows but you can't afford a home, who benefited? If productivity rises but you work longer hours, who benefited? If corporations make record profits but you can't afford food, who benefited? The owning class is robbing us all blind.

We must halt AI data centre developments until we know their true impact on wildlife. Demand Angela Rayner calls for a moratorium: protectthewild.org.uk/no-to-data-c...

A 1GW AI data centre is coming to the Liberty Steel site in Newport, beside the River Usk. The Usk is protected for its salmon, shad, lamprey and otters. Newport City Council approved three applications for the facility, yet no plans or ecology reports are available online. Why not?

In the Budget HMRC will be granted powers to seize money directly from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their taxes. Does this include people like Nadhim Zahawi, Lord Bamford and all the other massive tax avoiders. Or is it just for the little people as usual?

The grouse moor industry continue to plead their pathetic case to keep burning moorland (because it maintains their heather monoculture, boosting numbers of grouse for shooting). You don't fight fire with fire, you fight it with water - as the government recognise bsky.app/profile/moor...

“If we are to be truly prepared for all of the threats that we face, we need to have a clear sight of what those threats are.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for a broader approach to national security on #BBCQT.

Reminder of #OneHealth reality - environmental, human and animal health are interrelated, and all terrible on these nature-depleted isles, with #biodiversity in an awful state

2/2 There is a clear opportunity for the Government to tax bank windfall profits and raise up to £15 bn each year for our public services. That's why I've signed @richardburgon.bsky.social's motion, calling on the Government to introduce a tax on bank windfall profits ahead of next week's Budget.

The Trussell Trust’s latest report makes for grim reading: • 9 million people are projected to experience severe hardship in 2026/27 • 3 million of them are children • That’s around 1 in 7 people in the UK What should Labour do in the Budget to make sure people can afford the essentials?

We don’t need a business-as-usual Budget. We need a Budget to tax extreme wealth and make the UK affordable. This is the scale of change Britain desperately needs – and only the Green Party can deliver it.

Depressing to hear the BBC propagating the non-story started by the Tories about the possibility of power cuts because of renewables A classic fossil fuel lie being given credibility by our public service broadcaster #BBCR4Today

If this death toll was the result of a terrorist attack, the world would be up in arms And remember, this is not the new normal From the perspective of 2100, or even 2050, the summer of 2026 will be one of the coolest www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Apart from anything the messaging is massively confusing They've just demonstrated, very publicly, that they are not taking the climate crisis seriously Now they turn around and ask us to take it seriously, but do so with zero authority

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

Banking lobby pushes misleading numbers on tax. Claims UK banks paid £47.8bn in tax; includes PAYE, NIC, VAT paid by other parties; that leaves £25.7bn borne by banks. Silence on profiteering, £100bn subsidy over last 3 years via interest on central bank reserves. Banking frauds buried - HBOS.

Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

🗣 "There's nothing pragmatic about selling our children's and our grandchildren's future down the river" @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to Andy Burn 'em's 'disastrous' decision to drill for more fossil fuels.

Vote Labour get climate change, vote Green get Net Zero and climate responsibility. It would have been so easy for Burnham to get it right but he is terrified of the fossil fuel lobby. Zack Polanski is the only political leader talking climate sense.
