The average private jet emits 2 tonnes of carbon per hr. The average commercial short haul emits 8 tonnes of carbon a yr. A private jet to Nice & back is more than half a year’s emissions of a commercial plane. The UK is the biggest private jet polluter in Europe. Tax them.

🚨 SHOCKING FACT: 1 in 10 flights taking off from the UK are now PRIVATE JETS. Private Jet emissions are up to 30x higher than normal flights. Does anyone else think it's UNFAIR we're paying for the super-rich to pollute?

Artificial lawns should be banned. In the face of a biodiversity crisis, we should be creating habitats, not covering our gardens in ugly plastic where no life can exist. They're non-recyclable, dangerous to pets, the negative list goes on... please sign!! https://t.co/Ix3S7uMUT4

A disqualified & uninsured driver ploughed into the pavement & hit a pregnant woman - she lost her baby & caused serious injuries. He has been banned from driving for just 42 months. Why should such a selfish, immature & irresponsible person ever be allowed to drive again?

What a hideous, heartless action but so characteristic of the Tories. This centre is for LONE child migrants😥

Junior Doctors want 35% to get back to 2010 pay levels, Steve Barclay said 6% and I’m not going to discuss it. And suddenly the Junior Doctors walked away. RT if you support NHS workers and give the finger to this ****

I recommend this👍🏻, did it last year. Tip: park at Grange-over-sands, get train to start at Arnside. Then you’re walking back to your car. Last year late trains from GoS were cancelled, leaving those who’d parked at Arnside stranded

How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please RT if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less 🐝
