We’re back in the High Court in London this morning for a permission hearing to find out if our legal challenge against Planning & Infrastructure Bill can proceed. Court room is rammed - lots of interest in this decision. #ParliamentaryPrivilege

“What’s happening in Belém is not a climate conference but a hostage negotiation over the future of the planet where those holding the detonators (the soy barons, the beef cartels, the pesticide peddlers) are somehow seated at the table as honest brokers” theguardian.com/environment/20…
