UK farmers lose £800m after #heat and #drought cause one of the worst harvests on record. Many are now concerned about ability to make a living in a fast-changing climate after one of the worst grain harvests recorded.

Claims to be a man of the working class. He's bloody minted and like Trump he ensures his pockets are filled with cash first. I think he has refused to publicise his tax arrangements which suggests that it would reveal suspicious income streams.

It was World Environment Day on Thursday! Who knew? I did, but don't think the Government, NGOs or media mentioned it much- if at all.
An opportunity missed to celebrate progressing initiatives and castigate those who damage our fragile ecosystems.

WAKE UP AMERICA! Extreme weather events are devastating your communities & they're due to the climate crisis driven by burning fossil fuels. Trump's 'burn baby burn' policy will cause more of this mayhem.

How the hell has the American justice system failed its citizens, and the World, by allowing Trump to get away these crimes and become one of the most powerful men on the planet. This is a dangerous precedent that is a slippery slope for humanity.
