    You state the UK government "needs to walk the walk" on the climate and nature crisis ,that being so, how can with the same breath authorise the first deep coal mine in 30 years (Cumbria) ? Its absolutely abhorrent, ecocidal hypocrisy.

    Whilst standing at the site, taking pictures & speaking to witnesses, the police started pushing me & threatening to arrest me, though I repeatedly explained I was a barrister who was there for lawful purposes. They then fined me £200 & said I would be arrested if I didn’t leave
