Was the biodiversity report suppressed?

‘The Times reported that No 10 had blocked the report's release owing to fears it could be considered too negative. A government source did not dispute this interpretation when asked by BBC’

Nigel Farage apologises for 17 breaches of MPs’ code of conduct Reform UK leader, who failed to declare £380,000 on time, says he is computer-illiterate ‘oddball’

New standards in politics should include a ceiling for how much politicians can earn besides their MP salary.

The UK media is a fortress accessible to vested interests but not open to expressing common sense views of the British public like the need to act on biodiversity loss, to get free of fossil fuels or not to support genocides.
We need an #honestmedia for an #honestpolitics.

Very reductive- but then I guess social media is. A good section of the night looks at the ownership of both legacy and social media and the effect of that.

Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security This strategic assessment explores how global biodiversity loss and the collapse of critical ecosystems could affect the UK’s resilience, security and prosperity.

Starmer and co have just sneaked out the until now suppressed national security report on the climate and ecological crisis

It's grim, but it is only a few pages long and doesn't look like the full report

When are we going to see the rest of it Mr Starmer

www.gov.uk/government/p...

The Government has been sitting on this stunning awful news and only just released the report. Turns out the ‘eco zealots’ are right.

NOW will they do something to address the issue?

Number of UK newspaper editorials arguing for more (blue) and less (red) climate action, 2011-2025. Some editorials also present a “balanced” view, which is categorised as advocating for neither “more” nor “less” climate action. These editorials are not represented in this chart.

Poorer just as we might need that dosh to stand up against American tariffs on Greenland

Bruce Springsteen speaks up for Renee Good,

"Gestapo tactic against American citizens"

‘Climate change is here’: Experts warn global crisis is decades ahead of forecasts Drought, heatwaves, hurricanes, and wildfires are arriving sooner than we imagined according to scientists

"Climate change is here. We are seeing event classes [today] that were forecast in #climate models for the 2050s, 2060s, and 2070s.” - @oceanterra.org

Distasteful bootlicking by a veteran #BBC commentator.

NHS private finance diverts money away from healthcare, towards the pockets of private shareholders.

Cat Eccles MP’s motion can force the government to drop their NHS private finance plans from the Autumn Budget.

Is the #BBC telling the truth about climate? Let’s ask a top scientist?

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication.

I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵

You’re right - he’s being threatened. Thanks for correction - more haste less accuracy!

UK politics: Government says it is ‘fully committed to free speech’ after campaigners’ US visa ban – as it happened Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford among five Europeans hit with visa bans over claims they wish to ‘suppress American viewpoints they oppose’

Uk/US misinfo campaigner Imran Ahmed is being deported from US for telling the truth.
