A monumental victory for the common good over incompetent and complicit government 👏👏👏

We're back on @BBCRadio4 at 1:30 today for a special episode updating Series 1 of Buried (the waste crime series) with new revelations from across the UK. Buried: Recycling Corrupted is available now on @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

No more Tap Water scares! No more Swimming scares! No more Pollution scares! To coincide with the march in London 🚨 MARCH FOR CLEAN WATER - BELFAST 🚨 2pm, this Sunday 3rd November Writers Square to Belfast City Hall #FloodTheStreets #SaveLoughNeagh

🚨Two Stormont departments hauled over the coals in relation to mining interests in Northern Ireland this week. One 'breached' the habitats directive and the other got a telling off by the PAC - full story in my #EarthsCorr column belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-…

It's worth trying to get this article not least because of what I say. We are not just tolerating pollution, we are paying the polluters. And the total subsidies over 20 years run to well over £1 billion. Yes, billion. #epanow m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/environme…

On the eve of Stormont returning from summer recess, campaigners made a stand against their complicity in Ecocide. Their policies have decimated our Water Service, incentivised polluters to murder Lough Neagh & they continue to take no tangible action! #SaveLoughNeagh

The #Mobuoy super-dump is recognised as “one of the biggest environment crimes in UK history” in @BBCRadio4’s series #BURIED. The sentencing on 11 October will determine if waste crime pays in NI. #Systemfailni @danielashby @lucytaylor

Even more finance focussed on turning what's left of the living and once abundant liminal space between the water and the bed of #LoughNeagh into concrete. ASSI habitat removal continues on epic scale. Underwater mining - out of sight, out of minds!? newsletter.co.uk/business/north…

"The double standards are glaring!" @BridSmithTD calls out the hypocrisy between the establishment focus on Ukraine versus its abandonment of Palestine.

Come to Northern Ireland, a polluters pardise. Not only will we not fine you when you pollute but we will give you loads of subsidies and grants to help you pollute. #kleptocracy #farmsnotfactories #systemfailni bbc.com/news/articles/…

Let's go ✊ 🇵🇸

When the SLN campaign met Muir earlier this month, this was one of the 'immediate action points' we proposed. Sad to see it rejected. The Minister should rethink his timescale of 'decades' for taking action, he won't be in office in decades and the clock is ticking on his legacy.

Further from #Bernadette on the plans by some Irish politicians to take the bad look off #GenocideJoe on #StPatricksDay 🧵 "Boycotting Biden's St Patrick's Day Breakfast in Washington is not much to ask. It has been asked of all political leaders, including Sinn Fein." (Contd 👇)

And the soy that feed these poor creatures is stripping the Amazon; their shit ends up in Lough Neagh; the profits from these global agri businesses is extracted from NI. This is the global agri- industrial machine And it's destroying real farmers. belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-…

Got a few messages about the @BBCNewsNI coverage of today's debate. I haven't obviously followed it all being in the chamber. If true that other parties with same amount of MLAs received coverage and our message didn't then we will once again raise this with the BBC.

The immortal words of Refaat al-Areer painted on the Free Derry Wall...

This is untrue, macroinverts are used as standard to assess lake quality. NIEA have failed here. “Due to the size, depth and the complexity of lake beds it is difficult to obtain meaningful representative samples of benthic invertebrates for lakes.” belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-…

Our director @Ciara_Brennan1 speaks to the @guardian concerning NI’s governance failures that have and continue to cause grave environmental damage 📢 amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/j…
