‘Planetary health diet’ could save 40,000 deaths a day, landmark report finds Diet allows modest meat consumption and would also slash food-related climate emissions by half, says report by 70 leading experts from 35 countries

A legume portion a day, keeps the planetary crisis at bay…. Particularly if it’s swapped for meat, survey finds.

MPs have to be across everything, so it's not surprising that this survey finds that many don't realise how urgent climate action really is.

That's why top experts are coming together to brief politicians and other influential people.

Is your MP going to the National Emergency Briefing?👇

As a country we desperately need to up our understanding of global heating! That’s why @mpwatch.bsky.social is supporting this excellent initiative

Red line for Palestine outside the @GreenParty Conference so long you couldn’t see both ends.

MP Watch was excluded from our event @teamlabouruk.bsky.social conference last week because of the arrest of cofounder at @defendourjuries.bsky.social protest. So a relief to be with like minded folk.

Green Party membership overtakes Liberal Democrats under Polanski Around 20,000 people have joined the Green Party in the past few months, and new leader Zack Polanski says he has "undoubtedly" had a role in this success.

The @greenparty.org.uk recent surge following @zackpolanski.bsky.social become leader means they now have more members than the @libdems.org.uk

MP Watch are at the conference & the rising energy is palpable.

Thousands of Italians stop work in support of Gaza.

An important inspiring story that doesn’t seem to have had the coverage or impact it deserves.

Labour conference backs motion saying Israel is committing genocide in Gaza Union-led call for tougher action by government passes, as more cautious alternative proposed by leadership fails

Genocide in Gaza!

At Labour Party Conference ordinary citizens have their views expressed at last .Thanks to work of unions @aslefunion.bsky.social & @unison.org.uk and all the constituency labour groups that tabled motions (and were knocked back)

None of this is difficult to understand. And what is worse: it is also not difficult to understand - because we have all the knowledge and data - what happens when this approach is being pursued: it simply strengthens Reform, normalising their extremist policies on immigration and in other areas.

Ramón Méndez Galain, the humble professor who turned little Uruguay into a renewable energy giant

Uruguay proves renewable energy isn’t a dream — it’s a choice.

And it’s entirely doable — if politicians have the guts.

A humble professor called Ramón Méndez Galain showed the so-called leaders of Europe and the US how it can be done. 🧵

This is the UK now- those who can’t bear to let the genocide unfold branded terrorists by those still arming Israel.

UK Lib Dems ditch flagship net-zero policy The U.K.’s third party said the policy, adopted in 2019, is “no longer practically possible”.

What ARE the Lib Dems thinking? Our children's future should not be geared towards short term political polling. Where is their integrity?

‘Without integrity, you can’t build trust. Without #trust, you can’t have #democracy’ @labourlewis.bsky.social on splendid form at the Robin Cook Memorial lecture this evening.

He also reminded us that Robin Cook resigned over the Iraq invasion.

"But we must not condemn those people in the country who are feeling scared right now, who are not feeling listened to, who have suffered the consequences of decades of austerity and have been left behind"
