The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. Take pressure off nature: promote natural regen biodiversity veganism adoption; lower population protect water/soil; ban chemicals/heavy plant/hedge flail in agri/forests; stop destructive development

We are trapped in an endless, global arms race. We must break the cycle to trigger a new path: toward disarmament, de-escalation and peace.

As usual late for #smallbeautieshour (Iโm in western Canada is my excuse). A few small beauties from a walk in my favourite local park. Oh, and the ducks.

A very dark day for justice.
Upholding the proscription of Palestine Action is a dangerous abuse of counter-terrorism powers.
When protest is treated as terrorism, dissent is criminalised and the foundations of our democracy are weakened.

This man is desperate to get the keys to No. 10.
But did you know about the secret connection between Andy Burnham and a weapons company complicit in air strikes in Gaza?
This is the scandal Burnham does NOT want voters to know aboutโฆ๐งต

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs.
It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.

Today with very brave campaigners, outside Court, waiting for the ruling that eventually went against us; the judges upheld the Govt's appeal.
We now have a very repressive law where the Home Sec can spot *future* crime and proscribe campaign groups before they become terrorists.

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed"

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Andy Burnhamโs 2015 campaign also received ยฃ35,000 from David Garrard, a former director of Labour Friends of Israel who passed away last year.
Burnhamโs links to LFI may have impacted his decision this month to refuse to recognise the genocide in Gaza.

As Peter Hain pointed out in the debate on banning PA last year, this govt would have called him a terrorist for participating in anti apartheid protests in the 1970s & they would have called called the suffragettes terrorists too

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Parliament should reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action urgently before we see large numbers of elderly people in particular being dragged before our courts. Classifying protest through direct action as terrorism brings Parliament & our judicial system into disrepute

I like to play a game called: How many species of grass can I find in ten minutes? ๐พ
I will take these home and identify them, and then keep them as a dry bouquet. Grasses are seriously under-appreciated.
