With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

WOW! Huge news from Supreme Court - an absolutely giant step forward to a fossil-free future. No longer can oil & gas projects get away with only counting a fraction of real emissions they're causing. Huge congrats to Sarah Finch, @WealdActionGr and @friends_earth #CountTheCarbon
OMG! 🎉WE WON! 🎉
WE WON, WE WON, WE WON, WE WON!

#ThisIsAwkward is back. Can you send @cities_clean your pics of your long lost stolen bikes?

Has this happened to you?
What impact did it have and how did it make you feel?
Reply to let us know, and share a picture of your old bike, too! #ThisIsAwkward

Enjoyed being on a great panel discussion today @ecioxford with @HP_water_world, @RobbieMac_ and @kl07b with Nick Eyre about what it takes to make #Sustainability a reality.
Great to visit some old haunts in Oxford today and thanks to @ecioxford for inviting me to speak about sustainability policy delivery. Enjoyed the rich discussion with @RobbieMac_ @KathrynPharr @HP_water_world covering Overton windows, stone soup and everything in between.
Latest ep: a live panel chat @EnergyREV_UK's central London event. @RFordUK & @fraserjfstewart explore energy-smart places and local energy approaches to a #justtransition with a brilliant panel.

Great to host and speak at the #UK100 Net Zero reception this evening- inspiring to meet with local councillors and organisations getting on with delivering net zero and decarbonisation. Empowering local communities to achieve net zero was a key conclusion of the #NetZeroReview

@Mark_J_Harper @grantshapps the UK sent an ambitious proposal to @IMOHQ of 37% emissions reduction by 2030.
Now, unbelievably, the Chair’s draft J5 paper has no 2030 target whatsoever, abandoning previous commitments to align with Paris Agreement.
Will you demand 2030 included?

Champions for delivery are there, co-benefits are huge - social, evonomic, environmental -
in areas where #JustTransition is most needed that will push towards #NetZero - why are we still reluctant to run forwards! #energysmartplaces
