Access to nature is even more important as cost of living bites. Yet parks and woodlands are in decline as local authority budgets are stretched. That's why my amendment to the Levelling Up Bill to enshrine a #RightToNature is so vital @WCL_News @rcpsych inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/…

😉 This is the sort of tweet that challenges me not to say ‘I’ve been saying that for 30 years’
The UK has a home insulation problem - which has consequences for energy bills and the climate. 3 mins on the reasons why, what the government says it's doing about it & and why some say it's not enough.

British-Egyptian pro-democracy activist @alaa has been on hunger strike in prison for 200+ days, surviving on ~100 calories/day. As the #COP27 started in Egypt, he stopped eating and drinking water. There is no climate justice without human rights #FreeAlaa #FreeThemAll

Tory MPs are threatening rebellion over miniscule tax rises for the well-off. Didn't do that over destruction of the NHS; cuts to schools, wages, pensions; children going hungry; deaths from austerity, Grenfell deaths; contracts for cronies. You know what side they are on.

After one of most vital climate summits, all our PM could muster was a 33-word tweet. Where is new & additional loss & damage finance? Why won't Govt rule out new climate-wrecking oil & gas? Why is it standing idly by while Alaa remains in prison? @FreedomForAlaa #COP27 My UQ 👇

The report on @BBCr4today of @Keir_Starmer's stance on immigration seems rather #ToryLite? He's deaf to his own Members' calls for PR, for the public turning to re-enter the SM and EU, and seems as out of touch with the country as the Tories are.
