Exclusive: Conservative MP Conor Burns was the subject of a sexual harassment complaint five years before he was sacked as a minister for alleged inappropriate behaviour at the Tory Party Conference, Channel 4 News can reveal. Mr. Burns strenuously denies these allegations.

EEEEK SO EXCITING!!!! Tell your students! Tell your friends! Bristol’s new MA in Environmental Humanities will start Sept 2023 💫🌍🪸🪶

@jonathancoe @EuropaEditions So glad to see this.

So: 1. More of our taxes is going to oil and gas giants to guarantee their huge profits 2. More of our income is going to banks and lenders because interst and mortgage rates higher 3. Banks and oil / gas giants (and the wealthy) are paying less tax Yes?

Every person ... even those without bonuses

@patmcfaddenmp @SkyNews "This is not a game."

What is more important: saving face for the Prime Minister and Chancellor or saving the mortgage payments of millions of people? From ⁦@SkyNews⁩ today.

@jonathancoe And this is our money they've lost. "Fiscal responsibility" means knowing it isn't your money

What the government are doing presents an existential threat to UK nature protections - and the UK nature conservation movement *has* to respond accordingly: not just with strong words, but mass mobilisation - mass MP lobbying, marches, direct action. It’s now or never.

In response to the Governments announcements this week including today's #MiniBudget and lifting the ban on #Fracking, failing to help those struggling with the #CostOfLiving while giving bankers a handout, we have to say:

The UK budget is beyond shameful. A massive handout to the rich, punishing for the poor, destructive towards the planet. Dark money interest and think-tanks and Brexit deregulators now run Britain. (We are tweeting out analysis here.)

@AndyBurnhamGM @DavidWaywell I see that global temperature over time graph is just busting out all over

I’m trying to think of the word that best describes today’s Budget and only one does it: immoral.

“We serve you to only to fill the emptiness and loneliness of your own society” If you do one thing today, watch this speech by Colombia’s president at the UN. 1/2

Charles is attacked for comments on Rwanda. 'Wills' is lauded for speaking up for the planet. The climate emergency is not political then, not a matter of competing interests. Strangely though environmental activists are intimidated, imprisoned and killed. Who can be doing that?
