Seven people have been arrested at Lakenheath Peace Camp under the Terrorism Act while wearing tabards with individual words written on them.

When combined, their tabards read “We oppose genocide, we support Palestine Action”.

Record-warm March after an unusually dry and snow-poor winter has pushed nationwide snow amounts to unprecedentedly low levels.

Snowmelt is occurring more than a month earlier than usual. Normally, these snow depths would be present around May Day.

As a counter to the "what's the point because things will never change" crowd, having current mayors in different cities so clearly challenge the premise that cars are good and necessary for full enfranchisement in society is not a thing that would have happened just a few short years ago.
“Having a car should not be a requirement to building a life of one’s choosing.”

🔥 Fossil fuel ££ doesn’t just drive climate breakdown, it shapes media narratives, fuels political influence & props up the systems that divide us

⚠️ You can’t fight hate without confronting the power behind it

✊ Cut The Ties between ffs, media & political influence

📢 As Big Oil shared with The Guardian:

“Big Oil are one of the major funders of Reform UK… Big Oil’s tentacles reach across through many industries.”

✂️ “We’re here to make that link that we need to Cut The Ties to Fossil Fuels.”

TOGETHER 🖤

Half a million people took to the streets today in the UK’s biggest anti-far right march ✊

Cut The Ties was there to expose what often sits behind it…
💰 fossil fuel money, media narratives and political influence fuelling division and driving the rise of the far right

11/ Another thing that we can do is diversify our supply.

Investing in national, community and family scale production can also help reduce supply shocks.

For households or communities gardeners that might mean growing your own vegetables, Huw Richards has great advice for UK growers.

10/ One thing we can do as nations, communities and as families is to gradually build stockpiles during times of plenty to act as buffers in the case of a supply shock.

As @georgemonbiot.bsky.social argues...

"Building a reserve while food is abundant reduces demand in a crisis."
Britain’s food supply is precarious – and Trump’s chaos is spreading. I have a plan. Do you? | George Monbiot
I’ve started a stockpile, but that isn’t the answer. If crisis strikes, the government needs a strategy to protect us all, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

9/ Someone I feel is particularly worth listening to on this crucial topic is Prof. Tim Benton, at @envleeds.bsky.social, a leading expert on global food security

In this podcast he explains what’s driving the collapse of our food systems and what it would take to build something truly regenerative

8/ We know government's are aware, but aren't yet acting:

"the authors warned that environmental policies were insufficient to reverse the decline of the soils, pollinators, water courses and habitats on which farmers depended and said that “transformational change” was required to restore them."
Britain’s food supply ‘at risk of catastrophic failure by 2030’
A report written before the 2024 election says climate change, habitat loss and geopolitical instability are a danger to food security — and it has been ignored

7/ Experts are warning that -

"there is a greater than 5% chance of serious civil unrest over the next 10–50 years, with an increase in plausibility, as expected, for the 50-year timeframe"

Which strikes me as a classic case of scientific understatement.
