We can build all the solar panels and wind turbines we wantβ€”but if they don’t exceed demand at peak times, and we ignore storage, fossil gas will fill the gap and set the high price for everyone.

β€œMany people would be expecting the prime minister of the UK not just to attend COP but to use it as an opportunity to pull world leaders together to deal with climate. If I was prime minister I would be going.”

Israel has announced plans to take over Gaza City.

Germany responded by stopping the export of any military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip.

When will Starmer follow suit?

The UK government must implement an immediate trade embargo on Israel.

Angela Rayner gives councils green light to sell off allotments Labour's Angela Rayner has approved the sale of eight allotment sites in England since the party came to power, according to a report in the Telegraph. The move has been branded a "kick in the teeth" ...

In a food insecure, climate collapsing world, we need MORE locally grown, preferably organic food NOT less. We need more working people with skills to make local areas resilient

This nature & climate illiteracy from @angela-rayner.bsky.social pushes against what makes life worth living for many

As smoke flares went off, activists held banners calling on WPP to cut the ties, shortly after Big Oil, who had heard of this demonstration arrived to remind everyone what money and power can buy you, and to join him and WPP to make easy money and be afforded the protection of the state.

Government is gaslighting us on planning bill and nature | Letter Letter: Ben Kite says a large number of experts and organisations are concerned about the bill’s environmental impact, in response to a letter by the nature minister

That @labouruk.bsky.social does not think it necessary to offer meaningful reassurance to...champions of the natural world is astonishing

But gaslighting the public by pretending that legitimate concerns about the planning bill are β€œmisleading” is shameful.
