With Trump using the UN to amplify climate denial, the need for the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis couldn’t be greater.

Disappointing but not surprising by Labour. This has happened in a London borough where these policies would directly help so many people, where child and youth services have been cut for years and also where Thames Water has cut water to houses, not repaired leaks, routinely raised prices and more.

Cllr Liam Shrivastava @liamshrivastava.bsky.social · 14d

Tonight Lewisham Labour voted

❌ Against expanding childcare for families on lowest incomes
❌ Against scrapping the 2-child benefit cap
❌ Against Nationalising Thames Water

If you want a party that stands up for all, join @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social and let's build an alternative

How exciting to be in coalition saying with one voice:

Make Them Pay!

There is a clear minority who is making our lives harder. And that is billionaires!

We must make them pay.

The Green Party wants to tax the rich. We must.

The lack of regulation within the water and sewage treatment sectors is frightening and has culminated in harmful chemicals being spread over our crops!

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 26d

A massive, dangerous and disgusting scandal, of which far too few people are yet aware. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social we'll keep pushing to stop it. Congrats to @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social for continuing to shine the light:

Check whether your MP is going and if they aren't email them to ask why?

In this age where net zero targets are increasingly under attack in the media it is important that the facts are not forgotten. The time to act is now!

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today...

Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.

Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains?

These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Display case showing DASD fuze, used to make cluster munitions work.

Display case shows the fuze has been removed.

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it?
Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying.
