#EdMiliband needs to consider this very carefully. He knows that he is backtracking if he approves this, and he knows it is a climate disaster

The UK can lead in not allowing further oil and gas

Now is the time to do this Ed

And tell #Keir and #Rachel where they can put the anti-climate greed

BREAKING🚨: @Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank.

In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.

Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive.
People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

Jack @jackdawg52.bsky.social · 19h

Nope, you make protest obstructive and annoying you lose the good will of the general population.
When they ring their local member to complain - they dont tell the local member to deal with the issues raised by the protesters, they tell them to deal with the protesters.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.
