Great to see our new local MP getting stuck into the stuff that really matters

Lib Dems were proud to present the @zerohour_uk call for a Climate and Nature Change Bill to Number 10. We are in a climate emergency and facing biodiversity depletion. This was not taken seriously by the last Conservative Government. We will be pushing Labour to do better!

Thank you to the people of #BicesterandWoodstock I am honoured to be elected as your MP. This is my home. I stood because I want to serve my community, to speak for my neighbours and to represent this wonderful part of Oxfordshire. I won’t let you down.

Hive mind request! Looking for a sustainably run venue with lots of space and natural light for a workshop with up to 40 people around 10 mins walk from Blackfriars - any ideas?

Listening to how safe or not Rwanda is on radio, whilst COP28 is copping out of fossil fuel phase-out. Can't help feeling UK/rest of West is equally, if not frankly a lot more unsafe with our so-called leaders asleep at the wheel. Want to be optimistic but struggling

Who first saw them as religious beings, and how did they persuade others to change their attitudes towards them?! Over how many generations did it take the cobras to become calmer around humans?

Filming these cobras was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. I was fascinated by the relationship between the cobras and the villagers. On leaving I was left with more questions than when I had arrived. How did this tolerance of cobras first arise?

Goarn the King.... Wrapping up his speech, King Charles references indigenous communities, saying their "world view teaches us that we are all connected". "The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth," he says, as he finishes his speech to applause in the room.

Something in the air for doing good in the hood!

Excited for a new chapter kicking off this week in Lincoln.... and folks from Hastings to Portland to Miami to Berlin pending. Being creatively generous is positively infectious!

Twitter friends, what's the best, preferably free, event management software? Showing my age here, it used to be Eventbrite, then I loved @stef and crew's attending.io - what is out there now?

it is objectively quite funny that the biggest surge in immigration in British history came *after* Brexit

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28 It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy. Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment. Our report: iea.li/3R79gDf

this resonates, personally from experience and then in founders I've supported in a decelerator process - where identity = work, burn-out often follows - integrating all the parts of your identity into a coherent whole is the challenge and the opportunity

A psychological construct called self-complexity says that the key to a strong and enduring identity—one that is equal parts rugged and flexible, that can navigate the inevitable changes we all face—is to diversify your sense of self. Important thread 👇👇

The day before the UN General Assembly where climate is the critical topic not only is the UK PM not attending but now we see clear reneging on our Net Zero commitments. In the face of a deepening crisis what does this say to the world?

Been looking for this. "Economy vs climate" as a wedge to polarise UK on a critical issue is a misguided, deeply desperate way to influence voters. It was cynical last time, and inaction has made things worse for both cost of living and climate. Media need to join dots.
