My take on the Lower Thames Crossing debacle, highlighting why it is the wrong answer to a difficult problem and why organisations like @tcaginfo and @WoodlandTrust are so against it

Proud to be out alongside the Quakers and @AntiRacismDay in Rushmoor today, standing in solidarity against racism - thanks to everyone who joined us #RefugeesWelcome #standuptoracism

❓Did you know that a transport infrastructure review is currently taking place? 😟While it is very welcome, we have some concerns... 1) It's not being held in public 2) It's unclear who is advising Louise Haigh. National Highways? Companies involved with road projects? 🧵

We always hoped our fight in Surrey would have wider impacts. So good to see that happen with today's announcement: the Govt won't defend the development consents for Rosebank & Jackdaw. Here's a #StopRosebank banner on the Horse Hill gates. gov.uk/government/new…

What an AMAZING DAY. It was a privilege to stand with so many grassroots campaigners who have worked soooo hard to get to this point. Special applause for @MadamPratolungo and Lorraine from @WealdActionGr whose skills and energy are outstanding. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@TunWellsFoE @twlabour This looks great. How many candidates have taken your pledge?

Well done Sally and all who voiced their concerns about Gatwick's expansion plans at the public hearing yesterday. Let's hope the Inspector's listened and act based on People and Planet not just business interests.

Did you know? Replacing flights with rail on the UK's two most-used air routes would save 1.75 million tonnes CO2 per year. More info here: flightfree.co.uk/post/should-a-… Sign the petition to ban domestic flights with a 4.5 hr rail link here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6499…

On the way to Gatwick airport to speak at the Hearing for the proposed expansion. The airport is relying heavily on the govt’s Jet Zero policy to deal with emissions from flights, so it can justify the expansion. But Jet Zero won’t bring emissions down.

Good to hear @MoleValleyDC kick off the public hearings with a clear statement of concern about Gatwick Airport's expansion plans, #noexpansion #ClimateActionNow #climatechange #AirQuality @CAGNE_GATWICK @_SafeLanding @AirportWatch

Here to support residents who don’t want to see more noise and air #pollution from expansion of #Gatwick airport. @cagne_gatwick
