The ongoing indulgence of Johnson is demeaning for our country. The man is a lying, contemptuous, self-serving disgrace. He abused his power and got kicked out for it.
No to an honours list. No to foreign ego trips. And no to paying his legal bills. Absolutely not.

Ministers say one minute they want to "embed nature at heart of every decision the Govt will take" - then the next minute they give green light *again* to a pesticide known to kill millions of bees, crucial to our natural world? Yet more nature-washing

Flying shame: the scandalous rise of private jets

Last week, Rishi Sunak flew from London to Blackpool – his third private jet trip in 10 days. He’s far from the only one using air travel for short journeys. Just how much damage is this doing?

#bbcwato so if a single parent on universal credit earned even a fiver over what they should’ve to be entitled to the measly pittance this govt doles out … they would be penalised. At once.

This is a powerful article about how the fossil fuel industry keeps insisting on a scarcity model as renewables ramp up to provide abundance.

Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.

Climate protection is not a crime.

In what is becoming a new tradition, doggo and I waited until the nice day was over and it was dark and grim before going for a run today.

The River Wye is under threat. We're bringing legal action to protect it.

You can join our campaign at http://glplive.org/tg1

Our supporters have told us why they’re backing this case:

This Saturday 14/1 I will join activists in Lützerath to defend the village and stop the coalmine. Join us at 12.00 to protect life, and put people over profit!

The science is clear, the most affected people are clear: no more fossil fuels!
