101 years ago today: 11am on Tuesday 11th November 1919, crowds in London observe the very first 2 minute silence for those killed in the Great War. The men have removed their hats out of respect for the fallen. (I originally coloured this photo for the Evening Standard in 2019).

"Sizewell C... is now predicted to cost £47bn, with the govt & independent experts acknowledging even this estimate may rise significantly...new nuclear power means massive costs, a poisoned legacy to future generations, & whopping radioactive pollution."

I’m sure the world used to turn properly quiet for the 11/11 two minutes. Is that true?

Southern Water accused of lying on @BBCPM @EvanHD? "I'm at the beach at the moment and we've got around 70% of those beads now fully cleaned up." said Mr John Penicud SW's Waste Water director Outraged local volunteers claim that simply is not true. Apparently Southern Water

All the ranting & raving in the media about a 15 second part of an hour long documentary on the @BBCNews that happened a year ago & nobody noticed (not even Trump). This rage should be directed at the water companies that are routinely polluting our rivers & beaches.

The company was given four stars for environmental performance despite getting a whopping £2m fine for “reckless pollution”! And now they are praised by the minister for that meaningless rating https://t.co/8SdHASSZIh

The minister for water gave a speech yesterday at the British Water conference. It makes pertinently clear what govt's approach to the water industry is going to be. Roll over, play dead, give WCs what they want, pat them on the head and congratulate them for doing a nice

Leadership? The water industry has no idea what that means. Wouldn't that be right Emma Hardy? Why weren't the board, chairman, CEO, CFO and the whole senior management team on the ground at Camber Sands helping to clean this up? Of course not, send 3 junior members of staff.

I did NOT expect to be punching the air and going "HELL YES!" to Chris Patten. But what he says is SO rarely said and needed saying SO badly! "How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"

One week from today, 18th Nov to be precise will mark the 4th anniversary of what the @EnvAgency at the time called its "largest ever criminal investigation into potential widespread non-compliance by all water and sewerage companies in England". 4 years later not a thing, not a

"Volunteers cleaning up the pellets at Camber Sands have described it as "the worst single incident" they have encountered." I'm going to be down on the south coast this weekend. Perhaps the minister responsible Emma Hardy might like to join me at Camber Sands on Saturday

Are this pair oblivious to the fact that EDF “Braces for more delays at Hinkley Point” & “is likely to be pushed back by at least another year.” So, Pyke & Cann, Sizewell C “being a replica of HPC” is a cause for concern, not something to brag about! https://t.co/xBCeJPHXrw

20 second video taken on the A320, Runneymede, Surrey, where the Magna Carta was signed. That was our history, this is our present... Note the two words on the back of the lorry and then the general state of the 'highway'. 😂

Q: are you an architect, solicitor, designer, publisher, surgeon, banker or from another professional career? If asked to give of your services totally free of charge in return for a written credit or byline, would you say yes? If not then please don’t ask photographers to! :)

💔 Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Species like Bechstein’s bats & large blue butterflies rely on habitats that can’t be replaced once destroyed. Without #Amendment130, they could vanish forever. Tell your MP: keep this Amendment . 📢 Send your message now: https://t.co/dH2ZAXflrr

This is a sight seen all over Britain, every day. Abandoned sandbags, cones and A-frames. What hope have we of getting motorists not to litter, if third rate quangos like @NationalHways allow their contractors to dump stuff everywhere without any sanctions?

These blokes - caught red-handed - need to be fined £10,000 and be banned from driving for 12 months. https://t.co/VpaxMAYrXp

This night was difficult. On the map, you can see what the Russian attack on Ukraine looked like on the night of November 7 to 8. The Russians launched 458 drones (of which more than 300 were Shahids) and 45 missiles (of which 32 were ballistic). Russia is methodically

The promise of vast numbers of skilled jobs seems the main justification for this govt's delusional attraction to a nuclear renaissance fantasy. But will the jobs, if they come, make a contribution to a ‘just transition’? #NoNewNuclear #Renewables
