It's a week since I woke up expecting to be part of a global sigh of relief, rather than a global gasp of horror & dread. Resistance is FERTILE, serious & organising brilliantly.

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.
Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

“Around 200 people protested peacefully outside during the opening of the challenge - with scores of them silently holding up signs saying ‘I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.’ Several sign-holders were then arrested by police.”
We must challenge these attacks on free speech and protest.

This important thread (by Paul Parker of Quakers in Britain) on today's National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature (and peace) makes for sobering reading but includes some moments of encouragement.
Representing @quaker.org.uk at the National Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature crisis in a packed Methodist Central Hall. Impressive list of speakers but suspect we're in for quite a challenging morning. I'll keep you posted.

Cop30 didn't deliver all we hoped for; there were some wins, including recognition of Indigenous territories as a climate solution. It also underscored that climate leadership comes from the people, and we must keep the pressure on our governments to leave fossil fuels in the past!
