People flee fires, floods & famines Tories retreat from green policies

@HugoSAS Yes

Do you think disposables vapes should be banned? #plasticpollution theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

We live in an age where the rich, government and corporations are unashamedly greedy. It means low wages, poor public services, lower standard of living, fewer rights and the removing of environmental protection. And today, again, with a little rain, there is shit in the sea.

The home secretary is confused, can you point out for her which of the following images is not 'serious disruption' ? #ClimateEmergency #EndFossilFuels twitter.com/SuellaBraverma…

@StuHennigan, reading at 'a monday night in middlesbrough', held in the @aux_project photos by @elsieandjackandphil on ig sometime soon

@TechNoirUK @BladeoftheS Paid nearly £10 for fish and chips at the weekend!

What has become a luxury in the UK that was once easily affordable?

It will be the most important 3 minutes and 20 seconds you spend today. 👇

Private water companies were given a clean, debt free slate to start with. The rack up £56 billion in debt. They chronically underinvest. They pollute massively. The extract £72 billion in dividends. Now that they want the tax payers to bail them out. What a scam. @GoodLawProject @JolyonMaugham @Feargal_Sharkey

Thank you Olivia Colman for speaking up for our oceans on World Oceans Day! 🙌🙌 Deep sea mining is a new threat to our oceans - and the UK government must act like an ocean leader and BAN it immediately. Tell them to act now: act.gp/43tBdc2

@SchweppesGB looks like the message isn't getting through #PlasticPollution #beach #2minutebeachclean

Greedy water companies stole the money they should have invested to protect the environment from pollution. They now want you to pay it back.

After dumping sewage in seas, chemically polluting rivers, failing to upgrade Victorian pipes & handing huge dividends to shareholders, all water firms have to offer is “sorry - oh by the way we’re putting your bills up”. What a shitshow. @Feargal_Sharkey bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

The UK is home to 73 million fewer birds this #DawnChorusDay than it was in 1970. This staggering decline of almost a third is almost impossible to comprehend, so we have created a website that allows you to see what’s changed in your area 👉 bto.org

Are we really supposed to believe this is a natural occurrence? #teesside #teesworks #ecocide #saltburn

@annaturley The amount of dead muscles on Hartlepool beaches is crazy and has been like this now for months

Are the water companies and the government dicking us over saying that they are actually going to do something about the sewage dumped in the sea? This has gone on for years the sea is full of this plastic shit #plasticpollution @tampax

@Feargal_Sharkey @Keir_Starmer Good this is finally making the news ...but it has been going on for years, though, and has gone unnoticed...water company's used to dump sewage out to sea on boats, what we are seeing now though is visible sewage not just human waste but all the plastic sanitary products!

"Starmer accuses government off 'turning Britian's waterways into an open sewer." Good to see that someone sees through gov's totally vacuous PR. First it was £250m, then 'crazy', then £25m now unlimited? Do make your mind up. Well done @Keir_Starmer👋 theguardian.com/environment/20…

What about the billions the water companies have already trousered? Saying bills will rise is just gaslighting so we accept their shit. It's an argument I have heard for years. Ofwat just need to tell them "NO". But they won't.

A horrific plan for more factory farming of one of the most wonderful creatures . As much as I try to like humans as a species some of them truly make it hard . Yesterday Plymouth Councils ecocidal mania , this morning this . . . I am an angry man again bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

The ocean is now home to over five trillion pieces of plastic, and 24 trillion microplastics. The beach was covered in microplastic this morning and sewage @tampax #sewage #microplastics
