First time a policy was re-taken for failing the Environmental Principles duty. No more “light-touch” assessments.

📢 SCRAP CARBON CAPTURE (CCS)

Hugely pleased to have the support of @adrianramsay.bsky.social who knows CCS is just more fossil fuel infrastructure

Decarbonising: creating jobs in renewables, insulation, & nature restoration is the way

A fossil fuel project in Teesside has landed a £10bn subsidy for a fairytale technology. But the government’s carbon sums don’t add up.

Very pleased to have filed a new, second legal challenge to Net Zero Teesside with @goodlawproject.bsky.social 🙏

Govt chucking £10bn subsidy to make climate change worse
- the plant’s total emissions would far exceed any carbon stored under the sea

We call for a Plan B to tackle congestion west of Norwich—one that prioritises economic sense & environmental care. Protecting the River Wensum SAC & species like barbastelle bats must be central. Let's rethink, reset, & find smarter, sustainable solutions.

We stand with John Allaway in exposing NCC’s failures on the NWL project. Flawed surveys, negligence, and deceit have destroyed trust. We demand Cllr. Mason Billig resign immediately. #StopWensumLink #Accountability #EnvironmentalProtection

Norfolk County Council blaming bats for the NWL fiasco is absurd. This project failed due to mismanagement, zero economic justification, and reckless environmental harm. Taxpayers deserve accountability, not excuses. Norfolk needs leadership that prioritizes people, sustainability, and transparency.

With Mr Trump drilling for oil, Ms Reeves building a 3rd LHR runway, & emissions higher every year, all hope for an equitable climate future seems lost. All I’ve ever stood for & sacrificed feels pointless.

So I walked for 3 hours today by the river. She was beautiful. Still flowing. Still flowing.

Keir Starmer wrote in the Daily Mail attacking a Green campaigner.

He replied: "I don’t virtue signal. I’m doing this for my grandchildren. Starmer is virtue signalling to the Daily Mail and the fossil fuel lobby.”

Starmer is so awful at all of this.

It's also, I believe, flat wrong if not dishonest. I can't find any case which "reached" (his word) the Supreme Court. The case he is describing was refused permission by the Supreme Court. And not because it had "no logical basis" but "because there is no arguable point of law."
*Absolutely disgraceful* from Starmer, to write using this inflammatory language, about an identifiable individual.

Wildly irresponsible - reminiscent of the worst excesses of the Johnson era when Cummings fed the papers thinly disguised attack lines and I got real death threats.

This is very good news. Another major set back for this destructive project.

Many reasons (climate, cost) why it should not proceed.

Most of all a rare and small species has been protected in a unique environment against almost inevitable local extinction.

Long live the barbastelle bat

Kay Mason Billig’s attack on Natural England is an unnecessary, damaging distraction from Norfolk's road disaster. Wasted funds, ignored nature, failed leadership. It’s time for her resignation. #StopWensumLink

Norfolk County Council have put the Norwich Western Link "on hold" today. First we celebrate - one more step towards towards the end of this road @stopwensumlink.bsky.social

Those who kept the project going at £27,000/day -for years and against the evidence- MUST NOW RESIGN
👇
Norfolk County Council's NWL road project is on hold—too little, too late. Years of warnings ignored, millions wasted, and now they blame bats. Time for resignations and real accountability for this catastrophic mismanagement. Stop the shambles. #NorwichWesternLink #Accountability
