We might know the song, “He's Got the Whole World In His Hands”, but what can we do with the world God has placed in our hands? 🤲

Feeling a bit cross today at the news about how Britain's recession is going be worse than that in the US or the Eurozone. Someone, somewhere, has clearly made some bad choices.

Every time I hear a Tory MP complain about £5 million or £50 million being spent on asylum seekers I remember that they spent £120 million on the Festival of Brexit which included putting an old empty oil rig on display in Weston-super-Mare

BREAKING: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just £1.40 PER DAY.
Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living.
Anyone else think our government should do something similar?

If they could …
“The way a government treats its refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change.
There is no energy security without investing in renewables.
That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow's legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.

This is quite shocking. Emissions projections out yesterday show the UK will:
🔴Overshoot our 2030 Paris agreement emissions commitment by 40%
🔴Blow our 6th carbon budget by a huge 100%
The UK needs an overarching strategy to keep to 1.5°C: Climate & Ecology Bill #CEBill.

How powerful would it be if @Keir_Starmer held a press conference with @EdwardJDavey @CarolineLucas and other progressive MPs to demand a #GeneralElection2022 @CompassOffice – at Camberwell, London

A Government that is doing so badly for our Country they are terrified of allowing protest...or even thinking about it.What do they think happens when they do not allow people to voice their worries? Orwell knew.

At Tory party conference earlier this month, Jacob Rees-Mogg said that it was only “socialists and Caroline Lucas” who oppose #fracking. Certainly doesn’t sound like it based on Tory MPs queuing up right now to speak against and oppose their own Govt...

Food crisis in East Africa. Floods in Pakistan. Heatwaves in the UK.
We need the Prime Minister to work with other world leaders to put us on the road to ending the climate crisis.

New on ELMS- confirming my reporting, here is a speech minister Mark Spencer gave to farmers last night. Landscape recovery and local nature recovery conspicuously absent.

For 4 years when I was US Editor I went to endless Trump rallies where we’d be accused of being ‘enemies of the people’ - the ‘we’ were the media, but also ‘liberals’, civil servants, environmentalists, the swamp, the think tanks.
All felt a bit familiar in B’ham today

In 2020 govt asked us to clap for them; the low-paid ‘key-workers’, heroes of Covid. Yesterday they were re-labelled as part of the ‘anti-growth coalition', ‘enemies of enterprise’, simply for daring to suggest they deserved a pay-rise; either real or even in line with inflation!

The new investment zones proposed by @trussliz could devastate our #nationalparks and #AONBs This govt is about to rip up the rule book and create a mandate for the destruction of our most treasured landscapes. @Natures_Voice @ARochaUK @WildlifeTrusts @CPRE @ChrisGPackham
