Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

Yellow background with ripped white paper over the top and four photos from the actions against Bristol airport expansion: a mock-up of the sun newspaper in a bus shelter, an ostrich with its head in the sand, a projection on a building, and a protest with speech bubble placards.

Campaigners saw wins in the struggle against Bristol airport's expansion!

Stop tainted timber destroying forests, homes and wildlife Take action Our investigation has uncovered a disturbing truth: “sustainable” timber from Malaysia can’t be trusted. Certification schemes are failing, so timber linked to forest destruction, wildlife...

“Sustainable” timber isn’t always safe. Forests are being destroyed, Indigenous communities displaced and critically endangered species like the Malayan tiger are under threat. Demand the UK government takes action @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...

Imagine spending thousands a year on petrol, servicing & engine repairs — and hundreds of wasted hours standing at a petrol pump like a mug.

Then calling #EV drivers brainwashed. The sweet smell of irony.

That’s peak ICE Stockholm Syndrome. #Bettrification is the only way out.

Hayes, Hillingdon: High Street heroics against the odds Shopkeepers in a town in the west of outer London are showing remarkable resilience in the face of many difficulties

For some, Hayes, Hillingdon will always be Hayes, Middlesex, due to its past association with vinyl. Today, its shopkeepers engage in High Street heroics against the odds. I met some great people there: www.onlondon.co.uk/hayes-hillin.... @nickplumb.bsky.social @howarddawber.bsky.social #truelondon

Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act Tory leader says she would replace it with ‘cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate

🚨 Badenoch has pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act. This Trump style climate denialism is dangerous—for our economy, for the planet, and for people.

We need to update the UK’s climate legislation in line with the science, not revoke it—we need the Climate and Nature Bill.

‘I was told I had two weeks to live’ – why are so many young, fit, non-smoking women getting lung cancer? For decades, lung cancer has been viewed as a disease of older men who smoked. Now, cases among young women are on the rise and doctors are baffled. Could air pollution be behind it?

"We’ve got to the point where the burden of ill health caused by #AirPollution is so huge, I’m asking myself: ‘What will it take to make the public demand more action?’." Well said @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social.

Such a powerful read about the rise of #LungCancer in non-smoking, healthy young women.

You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗

Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like.

If you hate him, give it a RT.

An image of countless empty drinks cans on the ground as a plane soars up into the sky. Text on the image tells us that a return flight to Barcelona emits as much CO2 as you'd save from recycling drinks can for more than 5000 years. Image source is Small World Consulting Ltd for Possible based on economy class flights from Gatwick airport.

The problem? We don't get enough holiday to allow for less impactful travel. The solution? Ask your employer to sign up at www.climateperks.com to allow extra travel days for greener travel. From those wonderful folks at @wearepossible.bsky.social

The headline here should say:

"Number of private schools increases by 35 - showing fears of an exodus to be unfounded".

The far right twisted a tragedy into the biggest racist riots in decades. This new series from ‪@hopenothate.org.uk‬ lays it all out: what happened, who was behind it, and how we stop it from happening again.

10 minutes on the pitch and Luca Vuskovic manages to assist, score and block what looked like a certain goal. Not too shabby #THFC #COYS

Wonderful campaigners Possible are a tiny organisation - if you can be one of just a thousand people to support them with a couple of pounds a month it will transform their ability to operate

This migrant needs to take Nigel Farage to court and sue the pants off him.

His lies and hatred are fueling this violence and he needs to be held responsible.
