Wowzers, it's here! An actual printed book! It feels a bit weird to be 'happy' about a book about ecocide ... But I am happy to have worked with lots of lovely people to bring this book into being. 1/4 #ClimateJustice #ClimateCrisis #happypublishingday

Worth remembering today that there’s at least one party that’s committed to rejoining the EU as soon as the conditions are right #VoteGreen 💚
Britain will not rejoin EU in my lifetime, says Starmer - which is pretty damned depressing. There isn’t a single challenge we face which wouldn’t be easier to address if we worked more closely with our neighbours as part of the EU. Let’s prove him wrong theguardian.com/politics/art…

People need to fekking read Polanyi already. Economic insecurity is THE high road to fascism, and it is the core product (along with the complete destruction of planetary stability and of democratic capacity, lolsob) of our current neoliberal economic order and ideology.
A poll found ''improving the economy & reducing inflation" were most important influences on voters in European elections which swung far-right.

.@EvanHD seemed to like my suggestion of a #ClimateDebate. But which broadcaster will come forward to host it? @BBCNews @ITVNews @Channel4News @SkyNews @5_News
Political parties need to be held to account on the defining issue of our time.

#ClimateChange is about consumption of richest people in our global society
50% global emissions are emitted by top 10% of population = anyone earning >$37k/yr
90% of global emissions just 50% of population
We need climate justice to save our planet.
The rich need to step up

"We often hear it suggested that the #climate crisis is a crisis of communication, or a crisis of imagination, but it's also a crisis of connection... the more isolated we are the less able we are to respond" - Dr @AnnaPigott explaining the significance of climatelab.swansea.ac.uk/
💚 Thank you to @alexsobel for championing the need for science-led, people-powered action on climate and nature!

This #CANBill replaces the previous #CEEBill thanks to @zerohour_uk for their support.

Excellent interview on @BBCr4today just now - @LouisaCasson doing a brilliant job of rebuffing the narrow-sighted, disingenuous claims of would-be deep sea mining companies theguardian.com/environment/…

NEW: A study has found that hospitals that are privatised typically deliver worse quality care after converting from public ownership.
Researchers analysed 13 long-term studies from different high-income countries such as England, Germany, South Korea and the USA.

Spot on thread from @PhilipRalph9. I actually never watched Doctors, but I sure as hell value the arts (which reminds me, I need to renew my BBC licence..), and the desecration by the Tory Government of public services he describes sounds mighty familiar over here in Higher Ed...
🧵Today is the last day of filming @BBCDoctors A show that has run for 24 years, employed thousands of people, produced more than 4,500 episodes, will call ‘cut’ for the final time. As a writer on the show for the past 19 years I’m personally impacted along with hundreds 1/

There are three main areas where we're not on track to kick the fossil fuel habit. Unsurprisingly aviation is one of them.

It's only taken me a year to catch up on this tweet from @emilyveg (i've not been on X much!) but it's still well worth sharing 🙌🏾
Sometimes I need to think visually. This is my attempt to better understand how land is used in Wales. #wales #protectedsites #agriculturalland #woodland
