"Well, I think the question was, is Britain broken? And I think, quite plainly, it feels like we are almost in every government-administered area of our lives, things are not working." #BBCQT

These are not just today's headlines. They're next year's headlines. And the year after that. And after that. And they will keep getting worse until we stop burning oil.
Our leaders have a choice—and they keep getting it wrong. It's time to take action: juststopoil.org

This is Zaragoza, north-east Spain yesterday, where 28mm of rain fell in 10 minutes.
This is why @JustStop_Oil exists.
The Climate Crisis was created by humanity, and only humanity can prevent its worst excesses from making our only home uninhabitable.

Big Oil raked in record-breaking profits. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire.
@ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion
Time to make the pay for the damage they've caused.

I never said that. Stop making things up. I don’t like any interruptions in sport. Whether it’s a demonstration or when it rains and play stops, I feel for the athletes. However, I also don’t like the thought of the dreadful consequences of climate change and how it’s being dangerously ignored. 👍🏻
I find it quite revealing @GaryLineker would feel no compassion towards a pro tennis player @Wimbledon having possibly their most important match ever in their career interrupted by @JustStop_Oil protesters. What a selfish comment to make, Not surprised.

I was on @skynews with @SophyRidgeSky this morning.
We started with the usual JSO / Labour donation qs but moved onto more serious stuff – about the benefits of the green economy, the foolishness of fossil fuel investment and Labour’s green prosperity plan, and if Labour are radical enough.
We talked about cricket disruption, and I got to point out that climate change has already killed 4m people globally and makes 20m homeless every year - compared to a few minutes delay to the Ashes really is nothing.
We have enough renewable energy to power Britain completely, and it will never run out. We need a government that's serious about a green economy and ending fossil fuels - the old way of doing things - which will provide a better standard of living for all of us. The opportunity to address the cost of living and climate crises - at the same time is an amazing one.

There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..

Caroline Lucas, "Water companies had no debt when privatised. They have since borrowed £52 billion and paid £72 billion in dividends. Meanwhile we have a sewage scandal. Privatisation of water was a serious mistake and it needs to be permanently rectified."

The world’s most extreme heatwave forming off the coast of the UK, according to data from @NOAA.

This is what 30 years of greed, profiteering and regulatory incompetence looks like.
"Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges."

The Telegraph are twisting the news here - it was the demand of aircon that caused the power shortage, not a failure of solar.
Britain is setting new heat records and it’s only June, Canada is setting new wildfire records before the wildfire season starts - New York is choking on the fumes - and still right wing commentators refute the fact of climate change.
⚡ Britain has started burning coal to generate electricity for the first time in a month and a half, after the heatwave made solar panels too hot to work efficiently telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

"Herne Bay traders slam recent Southern Water sewage releases over dry Bank Holiday weekend."
Now who was it told you sewage only gets dumped during rainfall? Oh yea, the water industry and government MPs.
And you believed them?
