🔥8 in 10 Brits want our water in public ownership.
We were out at the #MARCHFORCLEANWATER demanding the government take our water into public ownership. #FloodTheStreets

Brilliant atmosphere at the @MarchforWater today with thousands of people flowing through the streets, calling for the government to clean up our rivers and seas 💦🌊

Sorry @ThangamDebb - calling out unethical sponsorship deals is *not* pointless! 🤨💰🏛️
This is a disappointingly uninformed and misleading piece which overlooks the fundamental reasons why unethical corporations with an image problem like BP seek to sponsor the arts... 1/x

I'm deeply concerned about the recent push by 18 African nations to seek $5 billion for a new fossil fuel project lender.
This is a critical moment for our continent. We are at the centre of the ongoing climate crisis. Africa cannot continue to be a platform where fossil fuel interests are advanced, while African communities suffer

The BMJ has gone further in its climate commitments, now banning ads from banks financing fossil fuels, as well as those producing fossil fuels! 🙌
This, @britishmuseum, is the kind of leadership this moment demands.
Stop being an apologist for Big Oil and #dropbp!
People can feel powerless in the face of a worsening climate emergency, but divestment is a positive change that is fully within an individual’s or an organisation’s control.
The BMJ describes how we are acting on our promises, and why others must too

Throughout history change in our society has happened as a direct result of peaceful non-violent protest .
It's time @UKLabour reinstated those rights .

Despite a landscape of failed #CCS projects around the world, the Govt is throwing £22bn at the technology - allowing fossil fuel companies to pursue new polluting projects
There is a nature-based alternative. Why isn't the Govt looking at that?

🚨BREAKING: Oil giant BP has DROPPED a target to cut its oil output in the next five years.
Big Oil is prioritising shareholder PROFIT over the future of life on earth.
Pass it on.

📣📣 “The climate crisis is a class issue.
It’s disproportionately cause by the rich, and disproportionately paid for by the poor.” - @NadiaWhittomeMP
Excellent speech from @NadiaWhittomeMP! Powerful words in support of workers and our climate in front of the Treasury💚

My letter in the Independent, calling on @Ed_Miliband and @UKLabour to not waste £22bn on a CCS con that just props up the fossil fuel industry.
This is Labour's first major misstep on climate - there is still time to reverse it.

Our address to queuing MPs and delegates at #LabourConference24.
End NHS privatisation NOW!

Please join us in calling for @Ed_Miliband to put an end the UK government's financing of burning trees for electricity. It's a disaster for our climate, for Nature and for health... funded by subsidies meant for genuinely sustainable alternatives.
DRAX power station in Yorkshire is the single largest source of carbon emissions in the UK– yet it's received £7BN in renewable energy subsidies from the taxpayer since 2012 .
With a new Govt , it's time to put an end to this gravy train– email your MP at lovera.ge/stopburningtrees
A crucial public inquiry into the political policing of protest groups - and the abusive tactics used by undercover officers - was pushed into crisis by the previous government. Will Labour now step in to save the inquiry, or will they let the truth be lost?
Alongside family justice campaigners and others, today we called on Yvette Cooper to act now to prevent the #spycops inquiry plunging into crisis.

The case against the @sciencemuseum agreeing a sponsorship deal with #Adani was damning when they signed it.
But it continues to get worse, with the company pushing the world deeper into #climate breakdown…
#dropadani
Terrifying new report finds #Adani plans to double coal production & dig up & burn 7 billion tonnes of coal - more than any other private company in the world. Yet @gautam_adani & @AdaniOnline present themselves as climate champions. Disgusting & dangerous hypocrisy. #StopAdani🧵
