STOP THE INDUSTRIAL PLUNDER OF WEST AFRICA The industrial fishing lobby is powerful, and West Africa's fishing communities can't fight this battle alone.

For West Africa’s coastal communities the ocean is everything. Now, because of industrial plunder, their only livelihood is in danger. Will you sign to protect the oceans for generations to come? >> act.gp/3MpeWZE

Four more people w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis died this past week and no one except other #pwME is discussing it b/c most don't know.

"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" was a hideous misnomer from the start--crushing fatigue is one symptom out of 200--& the CDC failed miserably in coining the name in 1988

Palantir was a warning sign.

Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.

All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Having been back to visit family in Sheffield at Christmas. 3 trains cancelled to and from Manchester Airport. Needed a taxi in the end to not miss the flight. I'm excited that I'll be at least 70 by the time they upgrade the line...

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Energy bills are soaring, and the King is making profit at our expense. It’s medieval! King Charles says he cares about the environment, so you’d expect him to stand behind cheap, clean power. I’ve signed the petition to demand the Crown Estate lower fees on seabeds act.gp/48TINlv

NHS care for ME now Campaigning for ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) to be medically managed safely, to protect families from permanent disability or death from neglect of the illness.

I just donated, again. One week to go before Judicial Review deadline. Please support these brave families www.crowdjustice.com/case/justice...

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.

Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

To the point 👏👏👏

Tax the rich – do it now. Start with me.

Rage against the machine never specified what type of machine they were furious with, but it was probably a printer.

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero, says thinktank Exclusive: Common Wealth report argues debt, pollution and underinvestment justify process known as special administration

Which makes government’s refusal to even consider it all the more reckless @weownit.org.uk👇

A graphic centred around a map of US on the left and UK on the right, created by Simon Oldridge, and showing how liquified natural gas is being shipped from fracking sites in the USA over to the UK, indicating methane (the main component of natural gas) leaking at all stages of the vast international supply chain—starting from the fracking sites, along big pipelines, and then from LNG tankers crossing the ocean. Notes explains the following: "North Sea gas is maxed out. The extra needed for new power stations will be imported. Nearly 2/3rds of the warming impact of burning imported US gas happens along the supply chain—and won’t be captured. Methane (natural gas) is a very strong warming gas. These ‘upstream’ emissions make imported US gas worse than coal. The UK Gov says it’s not our problem because it happens beyond our borders.

The UK Gov intends to hand tens of billions in public money to the fossil fuel industry for a huge wave of 𝙉𝙀𝙒 fossil gas infrastructure. Let's be clear: this is a total scam.

They argue the emissions will be captured, but there's a massive catch👇

This must be stopped.

Fund for nature-friendly farming to be slashed in UK spending review Exclusive: Defra sources say scheme, which pays farmers to protect nature, will be targeted at ‘small farms’

You couldn’t make it up - this is the same government that promised to deliver significant nature recovery - yet once again they’re slashing key nature funding & massively undermining farmers in the process. Madness
