When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

New work ready, and the garden felt like the right setting for some pix.
If you're in #Wales this weekend, you'll find these & more art by humans in the Bandstand, #Aberystwyth seafront, and ongoing at the Bay Gallery, Aberystwyth.

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

No doubt robots and computers can be applied to many great uses in science and medicine. But why use them for the fun stuff? Stop it please!

And still it keeps rising.

We are going to pull out all the stops to get the state visit cancelled. But if it goes ahead, we will be ready to protest in huge numbers.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday.

I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

UK folks, please get in touch with your MP on this, it doesn't take long
We’re on the brink of stopping new oil and gas drilling for good.

To make this happen, we need to make sure that every MP & MSP hears from their constituents that for a safe climate and affordable energy, we must stop new oil & gas now. www.stopcambo.org.uk/mp-msp-actio...

Finished! Is it finished? Finished. Maybe. There's a general carousel of oily trees and seas going on in the studio at the moment.

Great podcast, always an interesting listen

The Global South was ready for renewables. Then, fossil fuel lobbyists flooded in -pushing gas over clean energy.

When maximum sentence for chaining yourself to railings is over twice maximum sentence for racially aggravated assault, anyone who cares about justice should be appalled. This is a dangerous, undemocratic & disproportionate attack on longstanding right to peaceful protest in UK #DefendOurJuries
