Thank you so much for speaking so clearly about why this Bill must become law. I'm wondering what the next step needs to be.

🙌 Thank you for supporting the Climate and Nature Bill, @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social. It's been great to know you’ll be voting to progress the #CANBill on Friday 24 January, at its Second Reading!

Drill, baby, drill!
Again and again,
as if the earth will not break,
as if the children will not choke,
as if tomorrow is promised.

- Swales, 2025

Thank you yet again, Jon Swales, for putting into words what I cannot, but what is indescribably in my heart

He builds babels of oil,
shadows stretching
across scorched plains.
He laughs,
and somewhere,
ice falls,
rivers vanish,
and the sky weeps
for what was lost.

But the wind remembers.
The oceans remember.
The earth groans beneath
each hollow pledge,
each drilling rig,
each hand raised in defiance of the storm.

Drill , baby, drill—
fuel for the engines,
fuel for the empire,
fuel for the end.
A strange hopium,
sweet and sickening,
whispered into ears too weary to resist.

A voice of denial,
slick with crude promises,
slick with something darker.
He smiles,
as though the earth were endless,
as though the air were not heavy
with the weight of a thousand unheard warnings.

And yet the President speaks,
as if the earth were not already broken,
as if the fire were not already here.
