CCA folk joined a Xmas action at the offices of Grayling, a PR firm who help greenwash Drax, to remind them that they are fuelling the climate crisis. Old growth forest trees from US, Canada and South America are burnt at Drax as ‘sustainable’ fuel.

I'm just over 100 days as the leader of the Green Party.

We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour.

And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership.

Then we're coming for Reform.

Scotland has announced £1.8 million in new support for community energy💰

Set to benefit 23 projects, including a community solar farm on the Isle of Arran and the V&A Dundee.

It is fuckin' shameful...in a supposed democracy....
Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

It was my experience of deforestation in Borneo when I reached my tipping point.

I stopped flying, became vegan, became an activist with @scientistsforxr.earth, and left academia to become a filmmaker.

Satellite images reveal the Martabe gold mine in northern Sumatra has begun expanding toward key habitat used by the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan. Campaigners say the mine's expansion could push the ape to extinction. My latest for @theguardian.com

This decision is a huge embarrassment to both the Scottish and UK Governments.

The Acorn carbon capture project's main backer is pulling out of the scheme.

Politicians have promised over £280million of (supposedly scarce) public money to a technology with a long history of failure.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.

Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?

Just asking questions.
