@mpwatch
A network of constituents partnering with MPs to get Net Zero sorted. www.mpwatch.org Briefings for SAF CCS Water & Planning and infrastructure bill here:
Great early sign 👇🏽from @andy-burnham.bsky.social & @eddavey.libdems.org.uk on social care that fits with the collaboration MPW believes essential to deal with all the crises coming at the UK.
These kind of reports are going to get more frequent until we hit a proper food crisis. The combination of food & fuel shortages & prices mean the UK is vulnerable. @adamvaughan.bsky.social is a good scientifically based reporter in spite of working for @thetimes.com & #Murdoch
The Clacton Tapestry rivaling the Bayeux for drama. Hopefully the results of this battle will be better for the UK.
Russian links to both #ConservativeParty & #Reform are being tracked by the security services as well as @thenerve.news & before that by journalists such as @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @peterjukes.bsky.social At last the establishment press is also covering it.
Bravo to MP @johnmilnehorsham.bsky.social who responded to constituents’ concerns about Carbon Capture & Storage by speaking out in parliament. @drandrewboswell.bsky.social @sioldridge.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social @carbonbrief.org
MP Watch now has a ‘lite’ version for those short of time: here Morag from the group gives a suggestion for an action this month which is help your engagement with your own MP @mpwatchnesh.bsky.social @mpwatchwitney.bsky.social @mpwatchsuttoncheam.bsky.social
Great letter in @thetimes.com today from #brianhoskins from @granthamicl.bsky.social
Paddle out against pollution in Hastings with @sascampaigns.bsky.social populated by many new Green councillors, local activists, MP Helena Dollimore organisers @amandajobson.bsky.social & our own Jessica Townsend. #peoplenotpayouts
Lower fuel prices AND growing freedom from US Russia Middle East AND we save the planet. What exactly is not to like? This is in the Times
The @greenparty.org.uk s win is a vote for hope, for equality against poverty, a vote for Gaza. It’s against hatred and for community. It’s for real people not professional politicians. Young people mobilised in the constituency yesterday. Wake up UK this is the beginning of the end of polarisation
Our cofounder Jessica Townsend talking about her first encounter with climate disinformation in Oxford as part of The Truth in Politics show. Tonight it’s in Henley - come join! @henleymermaids.bsky.social @windrushwasp.bsky.social
The UK media is a fortress accessible to vested interests but not open to expressing common sense views of the British public like the need to act on biodiversity loss, to get free of fossil fuels or not to support genocides. We need an #honestmedia for an #honestpolitics.
Is political deception killing the planet and degrading our democracy? Join @jennifernadel.bsky.social & @mikebernerslee.bsky.social to discuss in a new show in Oxford and Henley
As Mark Kearney speaks about honest international relations in Davos, @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @jennifernadel.bsky.social and MP Watch will be in Oxford talking about an honest national politics. Join us! @bylinetimes.bsky.social @opendemocracy.net @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social
How is political deception degrading democracy & what can you do about it? Join @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @jennifernadel.bsky.social & MP Watch in Oxford next Tuesday @biodivoxford.bsky.social @oxfordnuj.bsky.social @oxfordecosystems.bsky.social #disinformation
Opening speaker @chrisgpackham.bsky.social talking to an audience that includes @zackpolanski.bsky.social but is Environmental Minister @emmarey.bsky.social here?
Waiting for the www.nebriefing.org to begin. Caught sight of some key Lib Dem’s @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social @werahobhouse.org.uk & @rozsavage.bsky.social
Did anyone else see this amazing @bryonykimmings.bsky.social show Bog Witch @ Soho Theatre in Walthamstow? So imaginative funny inspiring and on point about climate and nature. Complete knock out. Sadly today is last night.
Red line for Palestine outside the @GreenParty Conference so long you couldn’t see both ends. MP Watch was excluded from our event @teamlabouruk.bsky.social conference last week because of the arrest of cofounder at @defendourjuries.bsky.social protest. So a relief to be with like minded folk.
We re super lucky that @sioldridge.bsky.social - one of the best science communicators we know - will be debunking some myths about CCS for MP Watch & the Scrap Carbon Capture campaign at the Labour Party Conference next week. Ask your MP to attend. Details ⬇️
‘Without integrity, you can’t build trust. Without #trust, you can’t have #democracy’ @labourlewis.bsky.social on splendid form at the Robin Cook Memorial lecture this evening. He also reminded us that Robin Cook resigned over the Iraq invasion.
#StopTrump rally on now… @georgemonbiot.bsky.social #NishKumar @zoegardner.bsky.social All due to speak soon
MP W’s #JessicaTownsend was part of an exciting experiment last night in Kendal bringing together #MikeBernersLee Climate of Truth with #Jennifernadel from @compinpolitics.bsky.social - proposed anti deception legislation & a panel of local politicians The audience poll showed them hungry 4 truth
Outgoing Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s legacy - more arrests than when there were bombs on the tube in 2005. #shebanamahmood can you set this right? @labourlewis.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @compassoffice.bsky.social @defendourjuries.bsky.social
