🚨 Breaking: #COP29 finance deal falls short. “The world has been let down—this is a serious blow to climate action, but it must not stall the solutions that are desperately needed around the world.” said @manupulgarvidal Read @WWF ’s response: ow.ly/JExc50UemTK

The UK must stop using the ever-diminishing pot of UK aid to plug gaps. The UK has to get serious about making the wealthiest and biggest polluters pay, and ensure precious public finance reaches the most marginalised rather than focusing on derisking investment for profit."

Responding to @Keir_Starmer formal statement at COP29, @cat_pettengell said: "We welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment to stand with those countries on the frontline of the climate crisis and to seize the opportunities of tomorrow...

I have submitted a bill to parliament for the UK to formally recognise the state of Palestine, this would be a significant step in supporting the rights of the Palestinian people. The time for Palestine and Palestinians is now. As Israel has done everything in its capacity to destroy any chance of Palestinian statehood – through settlement, land theft, and now the wholesale decimation of Gaza – British recognition will serve to reinforce the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination, which cannot be vetoed by Israel. This would further ensure a path to peace for everyone in the region and the world, and would not come at the expense of any community. In May countries across the world were joined by Spain, Ireland and Norway to officially recognise a Palestinian state. There are 146 of the 193 members of the United Nations that recognise Palestine as a state, the UK must align with these nations to support peace and justice in the region. The bill will be debated on 29 November and has cross party support and has been co-sponsored by: Siân Berry MP, Ian Byrne MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Stephen Gethins MP, Adnan Hussain MP, Kim Johnson MP, Ayoub Khan MP, Iqbal Mohamed MP, Brendan O’Hara MP and Liz Saville-Roberts MP. I urge you all to write to your MP to be part of the debate and support the bill.

Thanks to your actions, we have sent 1.2+ million letters to @FIFAcom in one day🙌...incredible effort! Let's get it to 2 million! FIFA cannot keep delaying the inevitable sanctioning of Israeli teams- the need to #RedCardIsrael is urgent to isolate it internationally!

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Red Card Israel at FIFA Council. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/red-ca…

@FIFA doesn't want you to know it can expel Israel on Saturday 20th July for gross violations of its own Statutes and Palestinian human rights. Please take 10 seconds to tell its Council Members to urgently #RedCardIsrael to isolate it internationally actionnetwork.org/letters/red-ca…

Onshore wind is quick to build, and cheap But because you couldn't build it here, investment's been going overseas - with the UK missing out on jobs, economic growth and cheap energy It's great to see the ban lifted and we'll work to bring cheap power to communities who want it

Time for real leadership from the new UK Government at home and at @COP29_AZ

“Thames Water boss says bills need to rise by 40%.” Here’s why 👇

Thames Water confirms it, shareholders are not prepared to bail the company out. Will TW make it through the holiday weekend? Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock... 🤔 Not a penny of the public's money, you hear that @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet, not a penny of the public's money.

People in Gaza are being killed while the UK continues to sell arms to Israel. The UK could even be complicit in war crimes. I’ve signed this letter asking the UK to stop selling arms to Israel. Please sign too. oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/c…

You poor thing @gavinesler. That’s called taking one for the team.

Pleased to have worked on this letter to political leaders - core environmental standards are vital if we’re to meet climate and nature targets, support UK farmers producing food sustainably, and reduce our overseas impact. It’s clearly popular too with both WWF+NFU supporting

Listen to @Feargal_Sharkey on @BBCWorldatOne - he is right that UK environment agency, Defra and Ofwat are as culpable as water companies. Let’s legislate for no bonuses to water company and regulators’ bosses while this goes on. That would focus their minds.

You sitting down? 4,014,964 hours worth of sewage dumped into England’s rivers in 2023. An all time record. A massive 129% increase on 2022. Exclusive by those fantastic people at the @guardian theguardian.com/business/2024/…

"Sewage leak increase 'could cause Victorian-era diseases to break out across Britain'." It's called "sweating the assets", and @ofwat will still try and argue they were doing you the customer a favour. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/s…

Genuinely can’t quite believe that @Labour is supporting fuel duty freeze which - has cost c. £90bn since 2010 - ⁠increased emissions by 7% - ⁠benefits wealthiest most Has it totally given up on progressive politics? #Budget2024
