At 55 Tufton Street, Westminster 1830 today We unmask the lobby groups denying climate science, and transforming the UK into an oligarchy. Some of the world's greatest writers and performers will be there. I hope you will be too. XR Writers Rebel

‼️BREAKING‼️ Bail for some rebels includes the condition that they must not contact other XR members. The state is trying to ban peaceful protesters acting to stop environmental collapse. This is an attack on democracy and free speech. Why isn't the media all over this?

Johnna and Matilda from Henley say ‘Act now!’ #climateemergency

"Net-zero by 2050" is straight-up climate denial.

Thinking about buying a new car? Please, please, please DON'T buy a new petrol or diesel car. Consider buying either an electric car or a used petrol/diesel car. At this stage of the climate crisis we absolutely don't need more CO2 emission sources made with more CO2 emissions.

We showed our solidarity with the 9 #InsulateBritain peaceful protestors who were jailed earlier in the week. We must defend our #RightToProtest
