We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild it's land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/prom… via @38degrees

I’m exhibiting @TAGSfestival in Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket, December 7th 10am-5pm! A big trek up for me but I’m super excited to attend this event. With so many amazing creators attending I’m excited to meet lots of new people & see some familiar faces in such a beautiful city! 🖤

Imagine a world where decisions are made based on facts and figures, not uninformed prejudice… time to face these facts @Jacob_Rees_Mogg.  Fossil fuel subsidies, which you said didn’t exist - total a whopping £60 billion a year in the UK and a mega whopping $7 trillion globally. But fossil fuels are cheap you say. Green energy needs no subsidies btw - shall we discuss this next?

In the meantime folks, don't drink the water or worry about vanishing wildlife, flooded farms & streets, rising food prices, cold, unaffordable homes & dirty air cutting lives short or global climate change & ecological breakdown. It's not 1997. When will @Keir_Starmer look up?
The Labour Party@UKLabour

These are @Keir_Starmer’s first steps for change 👇

Imagine the shock for those cheering & applauding the Prime Minister’s threat to leave the ECHR when they find out it protects • the right to a fair trial • freedom of assembly & expression • the right to participate in free elections • freedom of religion • freedom from discrimination • the right to privacy • freedom from torture & degrading treatment suggesting the UK could join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the human rights convention is just completely insane & any argument we can just leave the ECHR & create our own bill of rights presupposes we can actually trust the government with our human rights in the first place - WE CAN’T
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2

To rapturous applause Prime Minister @RishiSunak just threatened to join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR - and even more shocking - not a single journalist present thought it worthy of question or challenge If that outrages you RT this widely

BP/Shell and Infosys signed a £1.5bn deal. Infosys is owned by Sunak’s father-in-law. BP/Shell are the Conservatives biggest donors. The very next day Rishi Sunak gave them 1,500 new Oil and Gas contracts, purchased from him.

Stop whatever you’re doing and take a few minutes to listen to this breathtaking speech by @laurensunfl0wer telling oil chiefs that, since they have no humanity to appeal to, we will instead fight to stop them destroying our living planet for profit.

I just confronted the CEO of @equinor and it’s majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM. The people in this room are responsible for the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field - Rosebank. We are no longer pleading. We will #StopRosebank

Michael Gove lied on TV by saying that Britain‘s water quality hasn’t gone down and that standards have gone up under Conservative Government. RT if that liar needs to take a swim and a nice big gulp of that clean water.

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

The kind of front page historians may one day analyse in disbelief. Scientists have run out of words to tell us how serious an emergency this is. And still both main parties bury their heads in the sand

Could @UKLabour please find its guts and commit to renationalising this utter shitfest? Polls show it would be massively popular with the public. Sod the billionaire press and its fatuous objections. It hates Labour anyway, so why not be hated for giving us what we want?
