Calling all river guardians!. With the global Rights of Rivers movement now taking off in the UK, i’m excited to share that @LawForNature are convening a National River Guardian Summit this autumn. We would love as many River Guardians as possible to join us to learn, discuss &

Something grimly amusing that in championing the supposed nature recovery benefits of the incredibly destructive Sizewell C construction, the government’s most senior nature representative chose a picture of a blasted industrialised landscape with not a single living thing

Congratulations to @metpoliceuk on setting a new record for the most number of arrests from a single protest today. Fabulous work protecting Londoners from the dangers of cardboard signs with words the government dislikes on them. Special thanks must go to everyone who was.

Maybe next time I get burgled I should tell them the thief left a placard supporting Palestine Action at the scene: they might actually turn up & investigate it then?.

Imagine if all warning signs in our society were for such whimsical dangers?

As other crimes go uninvestigated & unpunished because the police do not apparently have the resources to stop them, it is ludicrous that some of the most highly trained & highly paid officers are wasting their time trying to get a zoom meeting cancelled, to stop people holding.

Superb work by this family: not only saving their beautiful veteran oak, but also pushing back on the racket of insurance companies unnecessarily demanding to fell trees for profit. Hopefully this will set something of a precedent & also inspire others around the country to save

It’s quite funny how so-called Yimbys criticise ‘Nimbys’ for agreeing with building housing in the abstract but not in any specific instance, but then use the exact same logic for nature. Simon here providing a classic of the genre: he agrees we should “protect natural beauty”.

Sadly I didn’t quite win the election in Barking today, but it was a close run thing, & an excellent result: . - A huge 30% swing towards the Greens. - The largest opposition vote in Barking & Dagenham in *15 years*. - Reform beaten into third place & shown there’s no room for.

Well, polls have closed and whatever the result later this evening, it’s been an incredible experience standing for election for the first time. It’s been exhausting, but I’ve really enjoyed talking to people about their issues with the area, but also their hopes & dreams for

One of my favourite parts of standing for local election has been meeting so many catstituents out in the streets of Barking.

When I smelt the unmistakable smell of sewage whilst out canvassing today, I pulled on my trusty waders & took my testing kit to the suspicious outfall. There, I found the shocking result: off the scale levels of ammonia, meaning that raw sewage was illegally entering the river
