Brilliant stunt at #TheBigOne - a glimpse of the kind of politician we are all waiting for (and wonderful use of a row of men in suits: extras in a sci fi movie). #ExtinctionRebellion.

Ghost flights banned, new frequent flier tax and aviation tax, all airport expansions put on hold, intergrated sustainable subsidies travel!! The new Minister of Transport is absolutely smashing the net zero agenda! @grantshapps @transportgovuk #TheBigOne #unitedtosurvive

We have economies that need to grow whether or not they make us thrive. We need economies that make us thrive whether or not they grow. Telling it like it is, in the pouring rain, outside the Houses of Parliament #TheBigOne #ExtinctionRebellion

Among the last moments at The Big One: the brilliant @KateRaworth offering some welcome doughnut wisdom in the pouring rain (watch a full talk on katerawort.com). Within the soaked audience, @crisortunity (with daughter) @RuthBenTovim 🥰 & other lovelies!

Just to be super clear, especially for anyone outside the UK: this is not real. It's a stunt, a vision of a possible future (in which not everything has changed...) that helps us weep more furiously about the inertia of the present, and find the guts to move beyond it.

These are real scientists protesting. There's almost no one in the media speaking up passionately about this - apart from those you'd expect - so I cant see how we have any hope of saving ourselves. Most people are choosing the collapse pathway through apathy. It is what it is.

It's unprecedented for a Govt to adopt a policy like #Brexit without assessing the consequences - no wonder a Brexit Inquiry has huge public support. Time to understand the extent to which Brexit has undermined our economy, society & environment

If I should name the best thing about #doughnuteconomics it's definitely the people who show up - the designers, teachers, students, mayors, councillors, entrepreneurs, commoners, activists - and bring their wild and generous creativity. That's you, Mona, and so many more ; )

If I should name the best thing about #doughnuteconomics, I keep coming back to the agency that this model gives us. No matter which angle of society you’re entering from, there’s a space for you and your contribution. And we can start the doing together. Now 💚

This book, The Entangled Activist, is a deeply thoughtful read for anyone who seeks to bring about positive change in the world - inviting each of us to reflect on our own role in it all. I'm only a few chapters in and already I can strongly recommend it. Thank you

The Energy Charter Treaty is the dirtiest deal you've never heard of. It lets fossil fuel giants sue Govts for taking climate action that threatens their obscene profits. Ministers must withdraw from this climate-wrecking treaty *now*. Me for 👇

While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy' More like 'Kill the Living World'. Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.

From tomorrow, tax will be slashed on flights within the UK, a move that will help boost UK-wide connectivity. #AirPassengerDuty #Aviation
Tax cuts on domestic flights. We're introducing a lower tax band for passenger flights within the UK.
