The energy price cap rising at the same time as the withdrawal of winter fuel payments for most, is deeply concerning especially for those on lower incomes. I will be pushing for more support for those who need it this winter. https://t.co/WVFcHQET1m

A forecaster says bills will rise in the run-up to winter while experts say few cheap fixed deals exist.

UPDATE: Almost a year ago I initiated a legal case over Sunak rowing back key Net Zero policies . We've had a change of govt– yet there is still no indication that this new admin will reinstate these initiatives . We must hold @UKLabour feet to the fire of climate breakdown .

It was great to talk to local people about becoming a welcoming place for asylum seekers in Rushmoor. With @RacismStandup @FarnhamXr and local Quakers we spoke about standing up to #racism in our community. #RefugeesWelcome #standuptoracism

We were pleased to see this statement from the council. Having the facts available is so important. We stand against racist and islamophobic violence.

A message from Jamie Peters, interim director of Friends of the Earth - "We are disgusted by the far-right riots and racism seen in our communities, and appalled that the heartbreaking attack on children in Southport is being used as an excuse for this violence." (Continues 👇)

Today is #climatestripes day and today we share the stripes of the Blackwater Valley 🔥 Our climate is warming. It is clear. We cannot stand by as the world is suffering. If we do not step up together we will not have a liveable future, however terrifying that is to realise 💚

This is hard news to share but a new study from the NOAA just found CO2 levels have hit their highest level in recorded human history. Worse, the RATE of increate is rising. We are in unchartered territory and we do not even fully grasp the extent of the danger ahead. (1/9)🧵

#temperaterainforest is part of the UK’s heritage. It is where our rebels hid, our heroes fought and our druids healed. To walk into these native woodlands is to walk into the wild wonder of our past. Let’s protect this magic for future generations. ✍️ https://t.co/MpvpHvuonM

⚠️🦩🚫 Your flight is cancelled. Forever. With cases in Albania, Italy, and Portugal, the latest trend across Europe seems to be that of wiping out nature to build or expand airports instead. In this day and age, you would think governments know better.

We were disappointed to find those arguing ‘for’ the development were not community members, but workers for RBC and RDP (the developing power) and we will be taking it up with RBC themselves. Councils work for communities, not for developers and profit‼️

Last night we represented the community and our biodiversity at Rushmoor council, arguing against the loss of biodiversity and unsustainability of the Farnborough Civic Quarter in the town centre which could lose up to 237 trees and precious biodiversity 💚
