I just signed the campaign: Save Essex: Stop the Cuts, Save Southend, Protect Education

Every name that is added builds momentum around the campaign and makes it more likely for us to get the change we want to see.

Trump started it.

Reform and Tories are at it too.

And Labour already heading in that direction.

All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

πŸ”₯🌍 The biggest barrier to climate solutions isn’t just denial, it’s propaganda that shapes what we believe is possible.

Fossil fuel narratives define what counts as β€˜practical’ and subtly limit our imagination. 🎧 Listen, share, and help reshape the conversation. πŸ”„

BREAKING: Allianz stop insuring Israel's biggest weapons company, Elbit Systems.

This πŸŽ‰WIN after intense pressure from the movement. #BoycottBloodyInsurance continues to call for orgs to boycott Allianz as they continue to insure F-35 suppliers and other deadly companies.

A warning that we could see "-20Β°C in London for 3 frozen months of the year", and -30Β°C in Edinburgh for 5 months.

Everyone needs to hear this whilst there's still time to avoid it. #NEB2025

Trade unionists call on the Labour government to do the right thing by our planet, UK communities and workers, and refuse approval for the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field.

Reform accepted Β£9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on politicalΒ donations.

It's official: 400 redundancies and a campus closure. At-risk staff will get a letter next week. Absolutely no serious consideration of any of the union's counterproposals.

The large increase from 2018-2021 was driven by #Climate activism.

Lesson: The widespread mobilisation of the climate emergency movement ( @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social, @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @endegelaende.bsky.social ) was crucial for creating political salience

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.
