Mother & grandma. Thought she was leaving education to write her book, spend time with her granddaughter, drink coffee with friends & walk the lakes. But then faced up to climate breakdown. Now doing all she can & hoping you are too.
When will mainstream media - mainly talking to YOU, BBC Today - stop letting politicians bang on endlessly about growth!!!!??? Increasingly irrelevant & stupid as we storm past 1.5 degrees. What do you think got us into all this shit?

And this one on fossil advertising too please, also with days left to run.
govpetition.uk/700024

(The fact a public information campaign is needed is further demonstrated looking at a petition that has reached 100k, which confuses carbon dioxide removal with aerosol injection.)
Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship
Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...

Why indeed does the opinion of Farage and Blair hold more weight than actual climate experts?

At last. A journalist who speaks truth to power. Perhaps it will catch on?

No time to be a bystander. If you are one of the 60% of people who regular say in polls you want more action on climate breakdown please join us in Parliament Square, London. What could be more important right now? What's going to get you that action?
Bill is right. If you want to play a part in resisting this direction of travel, come to Parliament Square London on Sat April 26th. Join with others who feel the same; let’s show our numbers, our anger, our refusal to be complicit. Or stay at home and stay silent. As ever, it’s individual choice.

Tax the super rich now.
When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*
Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform
Exclusive: Pressure group set up by MPs from seats where Reform came second amid concern about party’s rise

'Global warming is concerning' says Professor of Understatement, Liz Bentley, chief exec of Royal Meteorological Society on BBC Today programme today. She knows 1.7 is a death sentence. Where does the BBC find them? Sign up with #juststopoil for Parliament Square this April. #tellthetruth.

Time the fossil fuel execs were behind bars not the people trying to protect us from floods & fires caused by burning oil, gas & coal.
🛢️ They took action in April last year to demand an end to new fossil fuel licences, something which is now government policy.

⛓️ Margaret has been on remand at HMP Styal for 5 months after being arrested by Greater Manchester Police last August.

The devastating scenes from California are a reminder of what should be dominating headlines.

2025 is a red letter year for the climate and this Govt must show us it’s willing to take bold action.

Half-baked measures simply aren’t enough.

Brilliant!
This is amazing: it’s incredibly windy in the UK right now, so only about 10% of the National Grid is currently being powered by fossil fuels.

Yes. But its nothing new. Its just more blatant.
This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.
