Important new report. While everyone became fixated on tree *planting*, we lost sight of the vast potential for *natural regeneration* of forests. Establishing woodlands this way can be cheaper, faster, wilder, richer. And it needs no plastic guards or glyphosate.
Tree planting has become a go-to option but natural regeneration has a key role to play in reforesting Britain. 🌳 Natural regen will happen on a large scale if we allow it 🦋 Natural regen brings additional biodiversity & climate benefits Our new report: rewildingbritain.org.uk/refo…

"Let’s do this another way. Let's stop thinking our voice don’t matter and vote. Not just for the president...educate yourself and know who you’re voting for. And that’s how we're going to hit 'em."

Because climate change is a real thing and not a matter of opinion, it will increasingly be the case that people who invest real money based on real risk assessments will force the issue. Stubborn Politicians and opinionated columnists will be marginalised, and not before time.
This is an extraordinary letter (and extraordinarily well-written). This is @blackrock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink on how climate change is driving "a profound reassessment of risk and asset values". Recommended reading. blackrock.com/uk/individual/…

Izzy is threatened by the police while her home, Australia, burns. She is on the frontlines of the climate and ecological crisis.
Izzy was moved on by a mob of riot police at @StrikeClimate’s camp out outside Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Kirribilli House. Sydney is choking, NSW is burning, & our PM is nowhere to be found. #FireMorrison #Auspol #FireScomo #WhereTheBloodyHellAreYa #ThisIsClimateChange

We’re going after the tax dodgers. We’re going after the dodgy landlords. We’re going after the bad bosses. And we’re going after the big polluters. Because we know whose side we’re on. The big question is, one month today on Thursday 12th December, whose side are you on?

I'm Northern Irish. I was brought up in a Protestant area. Here's the score. Corbyn didn't support violence here and he didn't support the IRA. He supported efforts to secure a peace. He participated with the Good Friday Agreement. The Tories are liars. They use us, simple as.

Donald Trump is trying to interfere in Britain’s election to get his friend Boris Johnson elected. It was Trump who said in June the NHS is “on the table”. And he knows if Labour wins US corporations won’t get their hands on it. Our NHS is not for sale.

Boris Johnson has spent months promising we'd leave the EU today. The failure to do so is his and his alone. Labour will get Brexit sorted by giving the people the final say within six months with the choice of a credible leave deal or remain. And we'll carry out what you decide.

This is the fight of our lives. The chance to end a lost decade of Tory rule and cuts, decline and chaos - and build a new society run in the interests of working people. Let’s do this!

The prime minister promised our NHS would be off the table in trade talks with US So why have there been 6 secret meetings with US drug companies? He is putting the NHS up for sale. He cannot be trusted #HandsOffOurNHS
THREAD: 1/10 Dispatches has found that secret meetings have taken place between senior civil servants and representatives of US pharmaceutical firms where the price the NHS pays for its drugs has been discussed.

No Deal is now off the table so tonight Labour will back a General Election. We're launching the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change our country has ever seen. This is a once in a generation chance to build a country for the many, not the few. It's time.
