💥 COURT WIN 💥 The High Court has now told the UK government not once, but twice, that its climate strategy is not fit-for-purpose, and is therefore unlawful. Full story here: https://t.co/nTPrlO886h

Hey @AskVirginMoney here's a question. Why have you locked me out my account, stopped my payments, passed me to 5 depts and kept me on hold for over 60mins so far?

Hey David @CEOVirginMoney - your bank has frozen my business account, locked me out of internet and mobile banking, stopped payments out of my account, crippled my business, passed me around 5 depts and put me on hold for over an hour with no info.

Hey @VirginMoney - you've frozen my account, blocked a payment and locked me out of internet banking (web and app) - insisted I call you and then passed me along to 4 depts - put me on hold for 40 mins and booted me off every call. Trying to run a business here. What gives?

Just FYI @hotelscomhelp, it was your reward programme that kept me booking my hotels through you - and your new one will see me stop doing that. A reward programme 'upgrade' that cuts benefits by 80% is a great way to lose customers.

That time you ask a bank (@cashplus) for it's ethical policy because you're thinking of opening an account - and they go very, very quiet.... #oldschool.

Hey @Cashplus - I'm shopping around for a new business bank - but can't find anything on your site (or elsewhere) about your ethics and climate change/ fossil fuel policy. Can you help?

The Nature Restoration Law is within our reach. EU leaders have a historic opportunity to adopt the first law to tackle climate and biodiversity at the same time. #RestoreNature

Your regular reminder that the UK's North Sea gas production is down by two-thirds since 2000 and is set to drop by another 97% by 2050 – even with new licensing rounds it would fall by 95%

Investment flows are shifting the world towards a more electrified, renewables-rich energy system. 5 years ago, for $1 invested in fossil fuels, the same went to clean energy. But today, for $1 invested in fossil fuels, $1.80 is going to clean energy → https://t.co/xyum3htwSB

What does climate inequality look like? The top map shows national responsibility for climate breakdown. The bottom maps show projected climate-change attributable health and mortality risks in 2050.

#COP28 #ClimateChange is about consumption of very richest people in our global society. 50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population. 90% of global emissions by 50% of the population. We need climate justice to save our planet. The rich need to step up

45 independent studies now conclude: there is no major role of hydrogen for heating our homes. The latest study was published today by @IEA. It says by 2050 hydrogen demand in the buildings sector will be: Zero 🧵 https://t.co/djcMVFhau5

My mum is 92 and voted Conservative all her life. Today she told me she cannot in good conscience do so at the next election. I’m no John Curtice but I think doesn’t bode well for the Tories.

Its hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment. They have blown past anything we've previously experienced by a huge margin. Over at The Climate Brink, we try and visualize this summer of extremes in seven charts. https://t.co/yApwMbyxgG

We’re taking the UK gov to court – again. We’re concerned that rollbacks on key climate policies announced by the PM on Wed could risk throwing the UK even further off track from meeting its legally-binding targets, and put the future health of its citizens in danger. 1/2
