Hi @rory-stewart.bsky.social & @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social!

Vital information was shared with over 1,200 people in Westminster at the National Emergency Briefing

It now needs to reach a much wider public

You could help open up serious national discussion on issue of genuine importance 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social unfortunately couldn’t make the National Emergency Briefing.

Would they consider having @mikebernerslee.bsky.social on #Leading?🙏

Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity.

Clips from Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social's powerful opening & closing statements at the National Emergency Briefing.

"We are asking for a WW2 level of leadership. Leadership, as if the survival of our society depends on it... because it does."

A shrinking number of farms & farmers is the route to even more food imports..

We need radical changes in food & farming policies to prevent this

Alternative Real Farming Conference (at Jesus College) is for “people in the UK & around the globe who want to transform our food and farming system”

Food accounts for about 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions

🍔But roughly 13% of food is wasted before it gets into the shops

🍔 about 19% is wasted in places such as homes, supermarkets & restaurants

Greater efficiency could make food cheaper for people to buy 💷💷💷

As Pope Francis declared:

“Creation is groaning!”

He urged humanity to listen to the land itself, to remember that we are part of an interconnected web of life, not its masters

And yet, as the door opens into 2026, there is still much love, friendship and beauty to celebrate, so we hold on, knowing that #ABetterWorldIsPossible

Appalling illegal act by Trump to seize Venezuela’s oil. Rajan Menon, Prof of International Relations, outlines Trump's fictitious justifications, including false allegations #Venezuela “stole” oil & land belonging to US. The truth is the US has no legal claim to Venezuelan oil & Trump is a gangster

A French court ruled that TotalEnergies misled consumers over its #climate claims.

A high court in South Africa halted an offshore drilling project after a legal challenge by coastal communities, stopping Shell and TotalEnergies in their tracks.

Another reminder: frontline resistance, backed by the law, can still stop extraction projects outright.

Insurers continued pulling back from coal mine coverage as #climate policies tightened.

Without insurance, new coal projects become unviable.

This is quiet but powerful pressure, driven by risk, regulation, and sustained campaigning.

New research has found that insurers adopting carbon underwriting policies are significantly reducing coverage for coal mining operations.
