Seriously? New Environment Sec has taken money from major backer of a climate-denying think-tank. Why did Barclay accept donation? What discussions has he had with Hintze before & since receiving it? Does he agree with GWPF climate-denial? We need answers

32,000 people dead, famine imminent, UN Special Rapporteur saying reasonable grounds threshold for genocide met. Unconscionable UK is still selling arms to Israel. I joined Parliamentarians of all parties demanding an immediate end to export licenses

RT @fossiltreaty: Shame on the #G7 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇹🇯🇵

In their official communique released today, they frame fossil gas as "important" & "appropriate" & even called for expansion.

Fossil fuels are the top cause of the climate crisis.

It's time for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. https://t.co/k3lPR76bMO

For nine months, the Government has been fighting to keep its assessments of the risks surrounding its climate plans in the dark. It’s not hard to see why.

We’ve got their risk tables here:

WTF?! The UK is one of the world’s richest countries & we’re really going to tell our kids we can’t “afford” to pay for a liveable planet for them?? And we’re going to betray some of the poorest countries?

So deeply depressing - & frankly terrifying - that as many as 68 Tory MPs just voted to make shameful

Bill even more shameful by supporting amendment which would explicitly disapply any international law that might stop removals. This is seriously dangerous territory

RT by @CarolineLucas: Context for today's £28bn kerfuffle:

The UK spent a staggering £265bn on energy in 2022 – the most recent data available – including more than £100bn on imported oil and gas alone

Insulating homes + expanding domestic green energy supplies wld bring those numbers down…

is waging a dangerous culture war on everything from climate change and vaccines to trans people and immigrants. Rather than endorse it, we need a Prime Minister who stands resolutely against it.

You couldn't make it up: our waters are full of shit, but rather than giving Ofwat new powers to protect our environment and hold water companies accountable, the Government is instead imposing a legal duty on them to consider economic growth.

You know it's bad when Conservatives from Rudd to Patel are telling this Govt not to politicise extremism. What we're seeing from Sunak's Govt now is downright dangerous. The issue of extremism is far too serious to be used as an election strategy.

Grim - Farage's views &amp; methods are pure Trump. He’s spent his political career whipping up nasty, racist, populist division &amp; rather than simply trying to push Tories even further to the right, he’s now setting up an even more extreme alternative power base. Profoundly dangerous
