“Hope comes from honesty.” We agree, Prime Minister.
Our open letter to you calls for a Gov emergency briefing to the nation on the climate & nature crisis. Will you take this forward?
Trust the public with the facts.
Build support for bold action.

On the Reform Party podcast, @DrDStarkeyCBE trumpets his skills as ‘a political junkie’, saying ‘since 1997…the number of people bothering to turn out in elections has gone steadily down and down and down.’
He’s wrong. I wonder what else he’s wrong about?
Well done @guyshrubsole 👏
'Who owns land is one of our oldest and darkest secrets... so I'm excited that the government have announced plans to open up the Land Registry'
Was great to speak with @mrjamesob yesterday about uncovering who owns England:

We 🇺🇸 should be the ones saying thank you to Ukrainians for laying down their lives to fight for freedom and democracy. Courage is in short supply these days, but Zelenskyy has it in spades.
TENSE between POTUS, VP, & Zelenskyy in the Oval Office:
via WHCA pooler:
"Vance said it was “disrespectful for Zelenskyy to come into the Oval Office, litigating in front of the American media.” Then proceeded to say Zelenskyy does publicity tour.
Trump, raising his voice, said to Zelenskyy, “you’re not really in good position right now.”
“You’re gambling with WWIII.”
Vance: “Have you said thank you once? You went to Pennsylvania to campaign for the opposition.”
Trump: “Yours running low on soldiers… then you’re telling us you don’t want a ceasefire.”
After several minutes of heated debate, Trump said he thought that was enough. Press was ushered out at 12:23.
Trump kicked Zelenskyy out of the White House. This whole affair looks like a planned attack by the Russia-allied Trump regime.
WH OFFICIALS TELL FOX:
-TRUMP KICKED OUT ZELENSKYY – HE DID NOT WALK OFF ON HIS OWN
-RARE MINERALS DEAL WAS NOT SIGNED.
- WH SAYS “UKRAINANS WERE BEGGING TO RESET” BUT RUBIO AND WALTZ INFORMED THEM ZELENSKYY NEEDS TO LEAVE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS, RETURN WHEN HE’S READY FOR PEACE
-THE PRESIDENT AND US OFFICIALS FELT DISRESPECTED BY ZELENSKYY’S RHETORIC AND DEMEANOR – CITED THAT HE WAS “SHRUGGING AND ROLLING HIS EYES” DURING THE CONVERSATION
**WHEN I WENT TO UPPER PRESS TO ASK WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE LUNCH THAT TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY WERE SUPPOSED TO DINE ON AND TALK OVER WAS SITTING IN THE HALLWAY. I’M TOLD WHITE HOUSE PRESS OFFICE STAFFERS WILL BE EATING IT.

The UK Climate Change Committee estimates the net cost to reach net zero at just £108 billion👇
For context, the Gov wasted £40 billion in winter 2022/23 alone protecting people & businesses from soaring gas prices—wasted money into Big Oil coffers.
