🚨 This morning, rebels blocked the entrance to HMRC in Newcastle, demanding they end their relationship with Barclays. HMRC banks with Barclays, the largest funder of fossil fuels in Europe. That’s millions of pounds of tax payers money funding our deaths, without any choice.

Extinction Rebellion will respond to the failure of #COP26 by mobilising two million in the UK to take mass civil disobedience, with the first major act of civil resistance taking place in April 2022. Will you stand with us? #ActNow #ClimateEmergency

Why is a man responsible for exploitation of both people and planet speaking at a conference supposedly aiming to end exploitation of both people and planet? #COP26
And here he is. @JeffBezos tells #COP26 that 'when I was in space' earlier this year he realised just how thin the globe's atmosphere was. Think he forgot to mention just how many fossil fuels he spent getting into space.

So this government isn’t just NOT acting on our changing climate but they are ACTIVELY pushing policies that will make it worse. Seriously fucked up and tells you everything you need to know about how much of a success #COP26 will be… #Budget2021
