Vigil 21.11.25 outside #WestYorkshirePensionFund @bradfordcouncil.bsky.social saying #divest now from #fossilfuels.. for a future! So although #COP30 didn't deliver all we hoped for it showed one truth: people power surged and a shift began. Ending fossil fuels feels closer than ever.

Good to be in #Wakefield today with @standuptoracism.bsky.social. More of us than them. Excellent speeches. Scary times but fascism can be beaten again. Reform's funding by fossil fuels is unpopular with punters.

Shell and BP have reneged AGAIN on #climate commitments. Engagement clearly does not work despite West Yorkshire Pension Fund's claim that it does. Time to #divest from #fossilfuels before pooling makes this harder. Time to do your job!
