1. THE GREATEST ACT OF FUCKING TREASON IN BRITISH HISTORY - The hiding of the report by the joint intelligence committee on the threats to UK security of the climate crisis and collapse of critically important ecosystems. It is totally beyond me that the British people are being subjected to the greatest ever grotesque act of tyrannical fuckery and everyone in the public sphere is going "Oh well, how upsetting". The security forces are saying that this country has "no future". What the fuck do we think this means? This is the same old same old British establishment routine that said we were experiencing "difficulties" on the western front in WW1 when literally thousands of young men were being blown to bits everyday. Millions more bodies are about to be sacrificed as the El Nino is turned into another mass killing machine by the pathological elites' refusal to slash emissions. The most fucked thing about this is that somehow Ed Miliband is being made out as our man in the thick of it as he waves bits of paper about peace in our time. Why the fuck doesn't he threaten to resign unless the report is published in full? Because he has absolutely zero guts. He does not a give flying fuck about this being a democracy - rule by us not him. When did we decide we are just dumb serfs to be fed into the final mass meat grinder rather than citizens whose fucking government actually belongs to us, not to the Labour Party? Why isn't someone, anyone, screaming - "we fucking demand the report in full because we are not fucking idiots ready to roll over and die". FUCK! Chronology: October 2025 - Report due to be published, but publication was cancelled. 14 October 2025 - Baroness Boycott raises the report in the House of Lords. The government declines to comment. Late 2025 - Ruth Chambers of Green Alliance submits an FOI request for the report. The request is initially refused on national security grounds. 20 January 2026 - The government publishes a 14-page version of the report following the FOI request. 27 January 2026 - The Guardian reports that the published version is significantly shorter than the original report. May 2026 - The Environmental Audit Committee asks the government for the full report. The request is refused. July 2026 - The Environmental Audit Committee raises the issue again. The full report is still withheld. 23 September 2026 - Ed Miliband briefs foreign ministers at a private meeting during the UN General Assembly in New York on climate change and ecosystem degradation as national security risks. 24 September 2026 - The UK government publishes a statement about the Foreign Ministers Dialogue co-hosted by Miliband, the EU and Kenya. September 2026 - The full report remains unpublished, although sections of its contents have been reported by The Times, The Guardian and ITV. - .GOV press release about the above 24/9/26 : gov.uk/government/news/press… - Guardian 23/9/26 : theguardian.com/environment/… - Parliament Debate 3/9/26 (skip to Adrian Ramsay) : hansard.parliament.uk/common… - Parliament Research Briefing 2/9/26 : commonslibrary.parliament.uk… - Environmental Audit Committee 8/7/26 : committees.parliament.uk/ora… - Environmental Audit Committee 18/5/26 : committees.parliament.uk/ora… - Ruth Chambers/Green Alliance who requested the report via FOI 29/1/26 : greenallianceblog.org.uk/202… - Monbiot/Guardian 27/1/26 : theguardian.com/commentisfre… - Times 23/1/26 : drive.google.com/file/d/1URu… - .GOV 14 page summary released under a FOI request 20/1/26 : assets.publishing.service.go… - Baroness Boycott House Lords 14/10/26 : hansard.parliament.uk/lords/… - Times 8/10/25 : drive.google.com/file/d/1DeF…

“A real test of this government will be to see whether or not they will rule out new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The reason they have decided not to announce that before the by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is incredibly telling.” Caroline Lucas on the government’s refusal to rule out new North Sea oil and gas on #BBCQT.

This is utterly unacceptable. Labour said they were going to bring the feudal system of leasehold to an end. And now it all "very much depends." Labour have a huge majority. What does it depend on?
‘You didn’t say it “very much depended” in your manifesto, you said you’d bring it to an end...’ @Lewis_Goodall presses Angela Rayner on Labour’s manifesto promise to 'bring the feudal leasehold system to an end’.

If it was dangerous in September 2025, it is still dangerous now. But backtrack Burnham has gone back on his pledge to fix our broken electoral system.

Regarding whether, as @ZackPolanski said, climate change is a World War 2 level threat, every single political, journalist, broadcaster and citizen, needs to listen to this interview with Prof Kevin Anderson @KevinClimate youtu.be/mBFos_T7cT0?is=OYji… Professor Kevin Anderson is Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester, with additional appointments at Uppsala University and the University of Bergen. Formerly Deputy Director and Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, he is one of the UK’s leading experts on climate mitigation, carbon budgets and energy policy, and has advised governments and the European Commission on climate change. @piersmorgan @mrjamesob @IainDale @TomSwarbrick1 @vicderbyshire @jonsopel @maitlis @Emmabarnett @tombradby @WilfredFrost @CliveMyrieBBC @amolrajan @SophyRidgeSky @TVNaga01 @OborneTweets @JohnSimpsonNews @richardpbacon @rickedwards1 @MickBooker @MartinDaubney @PatrickChristys @carolvorders @bbcvickiyoung @KamaliMelbourne @BBCsarahsmith @kirstiemallsopp @krishgm @tombradby @skynews @itvnews @ITNProductions @esmewren @adamboultonTABB @KayBurley @alexberesfordTV @kayeadams @janem @rickygervais @rachelburden @bbcnews @skynews @NickyAACampbell @ShelaghFogarty @bbcnickrobinson @tomhfh @susannareid100

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn. They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future. Always follow the money.

There’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more North Sea oil & gas. The planet is already on fire. How many times do we have to say it will do nothing for energy bills or energy security - but would send a terrible message to the rest of the world? theguardian.com/environment/…

Good work by @TransportActio2 who persuaded the National Audit Office to investigate the Lower Thames Crossing. However the NAO haven't given a date, and the clock is ticking. Take this quick e-action to ask the NAO to fast track the LTC investigation actionnetwork.org/letters/in…

If you're worried about our future - Andy Burnham is very clearly signalling nothing will change. But we can still turn this around with the Green Party getting even bigger. No new oil & gas so we can all have a liveable future. We need your help. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Victory for common sense (for now, at least)… It’s a relief that @EnvAgency have finally realised that prosecuting volunteers for cleaning & restoring a river (that they had left to rot) without permission was not a good look, so they have dropped their charges in favour of a ‘warning’. Thank you for all your support & encouragement, from across the country, the political spectrum & around the world. I’m certain that the comms disaster suffered by the EA over this was crucial in getting them to begin to see sense at last. This is, however, not the end of the story. The River Roding & its tributaries, like most rivers in the UK have still been abandoned & in parts left to die by the Environment Agency, with no plans to even put a stop to the serious environmental crimes taking place (like illegal sewage dumping), let alone to begin the process of restoration that the river so desperately needs. I am therefore seeking a meeting with the EA’s Chief Executive to ask (1) that the EA instead use its prosecuting powers for good, to demand a detailed plan from Thames Water to fix all illegal sewage discharges in years, not decades & (2) that the EA turns this whole saga into a good outcome by using the River Roding as a pilot scheme for how the EA can work with, rather than against, grassroots river guardians, to provide the protection & restoration our rivers so desperately need. I hope they will accept these very reasonable requests. But if not, I will continue to defy the EA, & will not be seeking their permission or authorisation to continue to care for & restore the river I love.
The Environment Agency has dropped its threat to prosecute litter pickers over alleged environmental offences while clearing rubbish from a London River. It comes after Channel 4 News recently exposed legal threats made to Paul Powlesland and other volunteers for undertaking clearance work without a permit. The East Londoner claims he took action after authorities failed to clear rubbish from the River Roding. While the Environment Agency said it won't pursue a prosecution, it has continued to warn against future rubbish clearing activities, something Mr Powlesland has said he will ignore unless he's given a meeting with the organisation's chief executive.

Dear @EnvAgency. In February this year, after 4 years of asking you to look after the Aldersbrook, I led a team of volunteers to do your job for you & clean out tonnes of silt & leaves, as well as hundreds of bags of rubbish. Through the effort of community volunteers & donations, & at zero cost to the taxpayer, we turned a forgotten silted up ditch back into a river again. Last nights intense rain storm showed why our actions are the very definition of “strengthening water resilience”. A huge amount of rain fell in a short time, but the restored section of the Aldersbrook has been able to hold 100’s of thousands of litres more water, stopping this water running into the Roding, & thereby *reducing* local flood risk. The first photograph below is of the Aldersbrook after the rains this morning- a big contrast to the area before we did the work. Perhaps more importantly, this water, instead of running straight off into the Roding & hence the sea is now being held in the Aldersbrook & gradually released so it can be used by nature. It is feeding marshes, trees & wildlife, topping up groundwater & helping to reduce our flood/drought cycle. If you want to strengthen water resilience, we need thousands more projects like the Aldersbrook around the country. So the question I ask you, Environment Agency, is why you are threatening me with two years imprisonment, rather than offering to meet & discuss how we can work together to restore the Roding & its tributaries, which could become a blueprint for you cooperating with local river guardians nationwide?
Today marks 50 years since the last severe drought in the UK. We must continue to evolve to meet future water supply challenges. By working together across the sector, we can strengthen water resilience for the future. Read more: gov.uk/government/speeches/f…
