The planet has reached its first catastrophic climate tipping point.

160 scientists from 23 countries warn that unless global heating is cut to 1.2°C as fast as possible, warm-water coral reefs will vanish “at any meaningful scale.”

The science is clear: We need to act now.

If you agree that mandatory digital ID cards are a terrible idea, please ask your MP to sign my motion opposing them.

These plans risk turning us into checkpoint Britain. They must be scrapped.

Excoriating from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on Government’s new Planning & Infrastructure Bill which “betrays an undemocratic impatience with the people, motivated by the blatant appeasement of corporate power…the worst assault on England’s ecosystems in living memory”👇

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot

The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

🗨 "This Labour Government promised change - the only change I can see is that the north is being short-changed yet again."

🚆 Cllr Matt Edwards on Labour's woeful lack of funding for northern rail projects as Keir Starmer visits West Yorks.

Read Cllr Edwards' full statement below 👇

Matt Edwards @greenmattbfd.bsky.social · Mar 28

🙄 How many times is the government going to reannounce funding for the Transpennine Rail Upgrade?!?

💬 West Yorkshire and Bradford needs politicians in London to take these issues seriously.

🚂 This is only a fraction of what the North needs to try and catch up after decades of underinvestment.

PM's train late for West Yorkshire visit to announce transport boost

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visited West Yorkshire today to announce a major funding boost for transport in the north - but his train was late.

Today I asked if the UK government will finally name the Israeli government's actions in Gaza for what they are: genocide. While atrocities continue, silence is complicity - and we have a moral duty to do everything we can to end the suffering of Palestinians.

Trump's comments become more delusional and dangerous by the day.

It's more vital than ever that the UK government speaks truth to power, stands up for British values and interests, and challenges Trump's tsunami of disinformation.

Zero Hour for the Climate & Nature Bill @zero-hour.bsky.social · Feb 20

“The aversion to be legally bound by climate targets is being taken by many as another example that the government’s commitment to climate policy is not strong enough to meet the scale of the burgeoning threat that climate change poses.”
