BREAKING

Defend Our Juries website taken down as attack on freedom of speech worsens - blocking access to important legal info for protestors.

This is what happens when the Government uses anti-terror law to silence dissent.

Instead of financing new oil and gas companies, @LloydsBank branches could be part of climate resilience hubs, helping customers prepare for the coming extreme weather.

A very worthwhile petition from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship

Lots out in solidarity with the #LordWalney16 who were given draconian sentences for peacefully protesting

Don't let West Sussex County Council cancel our May 2025 elections. If you live in West Sussex please join me and ask the government to refuse their outrageous request.
