Plane Stupid is a direct action network. We want to see airport expansion plans scrapped and an end to short haul flights.

Hey @British_Airways Stop taking deportees now. Passenger advice: 1) ask at check in if there’s a deportation on your flight; 2) if you see a passenger accompanied by 2 guards, talk to them; 3) stand up and refuse to sit down. Follow @lgsmigrants for more info #SeeItSayItStopIt

The new guidance from the Committee on Climate Change says that we can't accommodate any increase in airport capacity. The court ruling today is that the third runway can go ahead, not that it will go ahead. @crisortunity on #SkyNews and why there will be #NoThirdRunway

Much respect for the Sipson community, the direct action crews and the climate campaigners who, as they have many times before, will be summoning their resilience, determination & creativity to stop this climate catastrophe from going ahead #nothirdrunway

The ”net” in ”net-zero emissions” could be among the greatest - and most dangerous - loopholes ever created. The fact that our governments are using the same language as the worlds most polluting fossil fuel companies really says it all... #FightFor1Point5

This morning, the govt published its call for sponsors for #COP26 in Glasgow in 2021 - as well as its selection process. Which sectors/industries will the government screen out from the applicants? Could this mean a red line on fossil fuel sponsorship? https://t.co/tslDR2iTs9

The crowd-funder to pay for a Judicial Review to challenge the decision to allow Manston to open as a freight airport (with the probability of passenger planes as well) has raised £25,000 in just 9 hours: https://t.co/84k5Ruv4QQ via @CrowdJustice

Animal Rebellion have now dyed the Trafalgar Square fountains red, symbolising the blood that is on the hands of the UK Government. We are here today to demand that the government prevent future pandemics by ending animal farming and transitioning to a plant-based food system.
