Police have banned Steve @snb19692 from around Downing Street That's Tory Britain for you Don't like you You're banned Protest for something they don't want They'll ban you Democratic? They're demagogues and charlatans #GeneralElection
Police just served an order on me and banned me from every street around Whitehall and Parliament. Apparently 2 people complained. Probably Rishi Sunak and his wife.

Lest We Forget. As politicians and media propagandise this weekend about those who made the 'ultimate sacrifice' for 'our freedom' a reminder that many who fought in the trenches thought they had been used as pawns by our rulers:

Sunak to β€˜double down’ on anti-green law in kings speech a) historically irresponsible b) economically illiterate c) misleading if it supposes it helps with energy security d) not aligned with mainstream opinion so about a β€˜core vote’ strategy theguardian.com/politics/202…

"Are you talking about erasing a people?" @krishgm asks the Israeli Ambassador to the UK how it is possible to "erase Hamas" without causing "massive civilian casualties".

As the ground & air offensive intensifies, #Gaza has lost contact with the outside world. Oxfam is extremely alarmed about the escalation and the total loss of communication with Gaza. Wars have rules. We demand a #CeasefireNOW to protect innocent lives. chng.it/SxNdmDBwCG

It's official- #fossilfuels are over. But African countries are still being pressured into disastrous gas projects instead of a just transition. @vanessa_vash & the youth movement will demand #RenewablesNow at #COP28. bit.ly/3MgV7jW via @guardian #EndFossilFuels

Removing your key net zero policies is removing the commitment to net zero itself. The government is not on track to meet net zero with these policies, never mind without them. People and planet want and need a strong to commitment to net zero - this is nonsensical from the government. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

FUN FACT: Since the expansion of ULEZ in 2021, harmful pollution levels have fallen - in some areas by almost 50%. 4 MILLION Londoners are now breathing cleaner air. The government must do more to help drivers on lower incomes transition to greener vehicles.

I have come to the BRICS Summit with a simple message: in a fracturing world overwhelmed by crises, there is simply no alternative to cooperation. As we move towards a multipolar world, we must urgently restore trust & reinvigorate multilateralism for the 21st century.

Another climate tragedy.
You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

Whats driving record-setting global temperatures in 2023? A switch from persistent La NiΓ±a conditions to a growing El NiΓ±o on top of warming from human emissions, with minor contributions from the solar cycle, the HT volcano, and marine low sulphur fuel standards.

🌿🌍My Unheard Voice needs to be heard 🌍🌿 I've been a victim of climate change since I was 10yrs old. A journey marred by irregular weather patterns, floods, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. I'm confronted with a sobering reality: even when I speak out, just a few people actually listen, and only a few leaders take serious action. Childhood should have been a time of wonder and exploration, not one clouded by our planet's impending calamity. I recall a time when fresh air and bright seasons were the norm when the heat of summer was matched by the cold embrace of autumn. But those memories are fading as irregular storms, extended droughts, and terrifying heatwaves take their place. It has been both a responsibility and a difficulty to speak out about the urgency of climate change. It's distressing to observe how the gravity of the issue frequently goes unnoticed. The alarm bells are screaming in our globe, yet some choose to ignore them, dismissing our planet's crisis call as an unpleasant truth. The irritation grows when we contemplate the absence of decisive action from leaders with the ability to effect large-scale change. While a few champions arise, eager to address the situation, far too many stay trapped in politics, short-term advantages, and a worrisome disregard for the generations who will bear the repercussions of their inaction. But, even in the face of adversity, I refuse to give up. I am part of a growing chorus of concerned individuals calling for dramatic change. We work together to break the silence, to change the focus away from economic gain and towards the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. To create a sustainable future, we must unite as a global community, crossing frontiers and beliefs. Climate change is no longer a distant problem; it is a contemporary reality that affects us all. The events in #Pakistan and #Maui are just a taste of what is to come. It is past time for our leaders to move beyond political rhetoric and make real steps to decrease emissions, promote renewable energy, and invest in innovative solutions that will protect our planet for future generations. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to people who are taking action instead of waiting for leaders. Your initiatives give people hope and demonstrate that change is possible. And to those who are still skeptical or apathetic, I encourage you to consider the far-reaching consequences of your decisions. My path as a survivor and champion of climate change is far from over. I am resolved to be a change agent, to add my voice to the chorus demanding action, and to leave a legacy of accountability, compassion, and a renewed commitment to our planet's future. 🌿🌎 #ClimateActionNow #ClimateEmergency #climatebreakdown
