In May, the High Court ruled the Tory government acted unlawfully in creating legislation giving the police almost unlimited powers to restrict protests. Now Labour's Yvette Cooper is pushing ahead with an appeal. The new boss, same as the old boss standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

This is a very significant development in the criminalisation of protest. The Labour government is continuing the illiberal criminalisation of protest, which is very worrying for the state of democracy

We demand a stop to new fossil infrastructure and a just transition away from fossil fuels! Today we have joined the mass action organised by Geef Tegengas against the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Together we have blocked the Botlek bridge in Rotterdam. 👇

LISTEN 🎧 People felt powerless, their voices drowned out by the rich and powerful. But a movement emerged uniting people seeking climate, social & nature justice, calling for a system where every voice mattered, and, in that moment democracy began to be reborn #UpgradeDemocracy

Today our CEO Hazel Norman joined ecologists, scientists and medics to call on MPs to advance the Climate & Nature Bill to protect our natural world. #CANBill

Today: 1,176 top scientists sign letter calling on MPs to back the #CANBill in this week’s private members’ bill ballot. The time for science-led legislation to tackle the climate-nature crisis is now! zerohour.uk/scientist_lett… @Keir_starmer,  @ed_miliband

I support the Climate and Nature Bill - in fact I advised on early drafts of it The Environment Act & 2008 (!) Climate Change Act are inadequate in this emergency The #CANBill includes our overseas impacts, enables participatory democracy, sets interim targets - it has it all

For years, both Conservative and Labour governments ripped into the regulations designed to protect human life, workers, consumers and the living world, favouring corporate interests over the public interest. The Grenfell Tower disaster is one of the results. 🧵

It’s been said before but the second Greta started making connections between climate change and capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism the media coverage came to a screeching halt.

Apparently today is Plastic Overshoot Day, the day when annual plastic production exceeds global capacity to manage it Sounds like nonsense to me Our planet's capacity to manage plastic is zero. Plastic overshoot day is January 1st

#FreeThe20 activists unjustly detained for peacefully protesting against the harmful #EACOP project. Holding human rights defenders in maximum security prisons is an outrage! We stand with them! ✊ .Uganda Police Force #StopEACOP omct.org/en/resources/s… 1/6

How does the Fossil Fuel industry influence universities? Here’s the first comprehensive review. In addition to funding research they also sit on governing boards, sponsor professorships, career fairs and even influence curricula. Take a peek: wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wc…

Breaking: faith leaders, scientists, youth activists & orcas unite to demand that Citi stop financing fossil fuel expansion & the genocide in Gaza. For an hour, nearly 1,000+ bankers were unable to get into the HQ.🧵

Please back the Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill Clive! Climate and nature are two sides of a coin, we need to address them synergistically. This bill makes us take responsibility for our oversees footprint, sets interim targets, enables participatory democracy... We need it!

I don't know if any of my followers bank with Citi but this is a bank that would rather call the cops on climate scientists and watch them thrown in jail than stop investing in fossil fuels You might feel more comfortable with your money being somewhere else

Denialists often claim that scientists focus on climate change because 'that's where the money is' They were partially right - shady money has 'systematically infiltrated' academia That money is oil money, and it has helped prevent research on fossil-fuel phase-out
