Peatlands are among our biggest allies in the fight against climate change. However, the horticulture industry still goes through 760,000 cubic metres of peat per year.

If the PM is worried about cohesion, perhaps he should consider stopping the state directly funding religious, racial, and socio-economic segregation by abolishing faith schools👇

Yet another example of an independent faith school openly stating they have no intention of complying with the law.

The Government must address a system in which schools repeatedly disregard legal requirements and face little to no consequence.

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.
This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Time to recirculate this…there’s plenty our govts could do to stop the famine, death and destruction. Wringing hands and issuing strong statements doesn’t cut it.
Rant alert. Mega rant alert. How about our leaders stop wringing hands, issuing feeble denunciations, and actually DO something? Stop the moral equivalency. Stop pretending we’re helpless. There’s plenty we could do if genuinely committed. Here’s some suggestions for starters. 🧵

A child in care has been unable to attend the school identified as most appropriate for them due to faith based admissions criteria, a local authority has said.
Religious admissions are perpetuating disadvantage in our society. They should be abolished.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

This is absolutely wonderful. We have to resist slowly yielding to the lies; the corrosion of our conscience; acceptance of the false ideology pumped out by Trump and his ilk. We must not let our spirits be broken. We have to hold on to truth.
