Chuffing right

Dear oh dear, can’t Labour try to do better than the Tories?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) rightly said:

“We need rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society."

That calls for visionary leadership.

Listen to this - truth

And there was me thinking that a Chancellor was good at sims and checking her sources. Silly me! 👇🏻

Optics over outcomes: How the Chancellor’s airport expansion plans don't add up By the government's own analysis, expansion will not improve outcomes for communities across the UK

Alex Chapman questions the economic literacy of Heathrow Airport expansion: “The claimed economic benefits of full-throttle airport expansion are minimal at best, at worst, they are actively unhelpful.”

🚨IMPORTANT: Russia has sentenced 16 PEACEFUL climate activists to a whopping 41 YEARS.

Oh wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.

Climate protest is not a crime!

A third runway will be a disaster - not just for climate targets - but for our economy too.

Climate change is happening now and is the biggest threat to economic growth.

A pig flying.

"A third runway won't stop us from meeting our climate targets....”

Quick flashback to Keir Starmer in 2020. How things have changed.

The climate driven storm of the century should ground Reeves’ push for airport expansion | The Wildlife Trusts As a wave of recent rhetoric from UK Government sends shockwaves across a nature-loving nation, it would seem that the new Labour administration is trying out a populist, anti-scientific stance on nat...

The UK Wildlife Trusts have put it so well in this article opposing airport expansion plans by Rachel Reeves @heidialexander.bsky.social @theaef.bsky.social

In 2021, Reeves said she wanted to become Britain’s “first green chancellor”.
Today she said she will cut Environmental Impact Assessments and allow Heathrow airport to expand. She knows‘sustainable’ aviation is an oxymoron. She’s ignoring the CCC’s advice.
Just another untrustworthy politician

Rachel Reeves’ offensive against regulators sparks alarm from consumer groups Chancellor’s pro-business intervention raises concerns that protections are being weakened

Rachel Reeves now seems content to throw tackling climate change, the fair treatment of customers and workers, antitrust and other regulation, and consumer protection under the bus in her pursuit of growth at any cost. “People are holding their heads in disbelief,” said a senior Labour MP.

@pmkierstarmer.bsky.social Please stick to your climate action principles

GALBA is a small group of concerned citizens - trying to stop airport expansion for the sake of the climate and our community. We work hard to keep this issue in the spotlight. Today we are on the front page of the Yorkshire Evening Post highlighting a recent report by the Institute of Actuaries!

Please write to your MP as soon as possible. We must tell our MPs how much we oppose expansion of Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and any other airport

Please donate whatever you can afford. Thank you

A plump Wood Pigeon stands confidently on a bird table, chest puffed out, looking slightly smug. Beside it, a glossy Starling with shimmering green and purple feathers sits lower down, tilting its head up as if deep in conversation. The two birds appear to be mid-chat, giving off the vibe of scheming pals casually plotting how to dodge being counted in the Big Garden Birdwatch.

'Alright pal, got plans for the #BigGardenBirdwatch?'

'Nah, just the usual... hang out of sight whilst she's doing the count, then touch down once the hour's over. You?'

'Classic. Planning some fly-bys with a few of the boys, but we'll only land one at a time.'

'Niiice.'

Well done mate! 👇🏻
