Boohoo has taken greenwashing to the next level. Fast fashion relies on exploiting its workers and producing cheap, synthetic clothing, derived from fossil fuels, that is destined to be waste. There is NO sustainability in Boohoo's fast fashion. loom.ly/wNnCDkQ

Our leaders say we need to stop deforestation, restore nature and plant trees to save the climate and biodiversity. Yet, basically everywhere they're doing the exact opposite. And - since the general level of awareness is almost nonexistent - they keep speeding up the process...
“In 2014, Forest Trends published research that found that from 2002 to 2012, 18 million acres of forest were cleared every year. The new report says that figure is now 27 million acres a year, a 52 percent increase.” us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=…

What
Big story which Sunday Times doesn’t make enough of. They say officials fear Cummings will say Johnson missed 5 key Covid meetings at start of crisis as was writing his Shakespeare biography to fund his divorce settlement. I’d heard same from non- Govt source but couldn’t prove.

It’s 2021 and not only are the Greens not invited to the @ITVWales leaders debates but they have invited an all male panel. @DoddsJane - I think we should get invited so the women of Wales are represented ✊ #InviteTheGreens

Using the pandemic to lessen the terms and conditions of your employees and threaten them with the sack if they don't comply is disgusting. You are a disgrace @BritishGas – at Wandsworth, London

What I’ve learned from the government in the past 7 days: ✅Flags are important ✅Statues are important ✅Weapons are important ❎NHS staff are not important ❎Women are not important It’s a little chilling, if we’re honest.

One purpose of a demo is to cause serious annoyance. Today this is a right, as it should be in a democracy. Under the Patel-Tory Police Bill it gets you TEN YEARS IN PRISON. And so does defacing a statue.

Tonight we attempted to have a peaceful vigil to mourn Sarah Everard and protest all forms of gendered violence. The police were violent towards us and prevented us from mourning. So tomorrow, we will gather at New Scotland Yard, 4pm. Join us. #ReclaimTheseStreets

Male police officers man-handling women protesting about their safety in public spaces is beyond comprehension. The Govt had it in their gift to step in this morning; I asked a Home Office Minister to do so on @BBCAnyQuestions last night. Zero action today. #ReclaimTheseStreets
Disgusting and completely avoidable. After the court case yesterday, the High Court left the door open for the MET police to engage with the organisers to agree a peaceful, socially distant vigil. They refused and did this instead.

I haven’t seen a single headline that doesn’t at the very best imply it was both sides. I’ve watched videos with my own eyes of kneeling women set upon by multiple cops and what gets reported is “protest turns violent”. This is what we’re up against

Need to make a Noise about proposed Policing Protest Powers, whatever your politics Threshold for State restricting your ability to get heard is coming down & consequences will be dire Will even apply to 1 person protests This is the real “cancel culture” politics.co.uk/comment/2021/…

The Police seemed a bit different when it was male football fans just a week ago. This country is a moral train wreck, stuck in a rock bottom of historic proportions. #Clapham #vigilforSarah #VIGIL #claphamcommon nitter.cf/danadzjones90/status/1… nitter.cf/danadzjones90/status/1…
