Our communities don’t need advice they need immediate action.

In a time of climate catastrophe coal tips are becoming ever more dangerous. Advice doesn’t help those living in homes in the shadows of dangerous coal tips.

@walesgreenparty.bsky.social knows the money needed to solve…1/2

BBC news headline with picture of coal spoil tip in Cwmtillery headline reads “About 800,000
homes to get disused coal tip advice
Families were forced from their homes in Cwmtillery after a coal tip collapsed following heavy rain during Storm Bert in November 2024”

Our rivers are full of it. Urgent, effective action is needed now.

“Farmers must be properly supported in making the changes needed to tackle this pollution crisis, together with strong legal deterrence in place to ensure that polluters pay for the cost of their actions.”

Airport expansion at a time of climate chaos and rampant inequality is a betrayal of future generations and the planet.

Another disastrous, yet all too predictable decision from the UK Labour government.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 24d

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis.

Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet.

Just big business & their own interests.

Don’t let Labour talk about Israel/Palestine without talking about their role in arming the Israeli military and the ongoing genocide.

Anthony Slaughter @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social · 24d

The UK government's recognition of the state of Palestine is welcome, if long overdue, but it does not end the genocide.

It's time to put an end to the UK government's complicity in the ongoing genocide with meaningful sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

UK recognition of Palestine as a state is welcome, if decades overdue. It does not stop this genocide though.

We need sanctions against Israel and the companies enabling it. The cost of continuing the slaughter must be made far too high for it to continue.
