Over 30 Greenpeace activists have occupied parliament, bringing energy bills and reading out testimonies from people across the country just as @RishiSunak is announced as the new Prime Minister. He must deliver a proper windfall tax to insulate homes. #ChaosCostsLives

Listen to the facts @BorisJohnson. The #CumbrianCoalMine will produce 9,000,000 tonnes of CO2 every year. To hit #NetZero we need to curb carbon emissions – not create more. @CPRE

Hi @KwasiKwarteng, this week in Parliament you gave a speech updating on the UK’s climate plans, but ignored the @IEA report saying there should be no new oil and gas. Will you stop issuing new oil and gas licenses? #KwasiPleaseAct

I’m joining @RSPCA_official in urging @coopuk to end #CheapChicken by signing the Better Chicken Commitment at their AGM tomorrow! Do the right thing and join other large retailers in taking a stand for chickens who are often too heavy to even stand themselves

Energy Minister @annietrev and @beisgovuk must show climate leadership by: 1) Stopping new oil and gas licences 2) Retraining oil and gas workers 3) Going renewable and creating thousands of green jobs to go #FossilFree

If France can award citizenship to its healthcare workers, so can we. Our heroes have risked their lives for this country, they deserve to call the UK home. This is why we are backing the NHS Overseas Workers Day on 5th March. Get behind @WorkersNhs #homeforheroes and RT 💙

If it was socially acceptable to answer "how are you" truthfully. "Well I had a short cry and followed it up with a second dinner consisting of cereal and wine. So I've seen better days." How are you doing, really?

When a world renowned scientist tells you approving the first coal mine in 30 years is a bad idea – it's probably best to listen. @BorisJohnson & @AlokSharma_RDG what will it be? Climate leadership or humiliation? #EndCoal bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Over 240,000 people across the country want #destructivefishing banned from UK Marine Protected Areas. #GeorgeEustice and @DefraGovUK can you act like the ocean protectors you claim to be and ban destructive fishing?

Hey @Tesco, do you know the impact that your business is causing the Indigenous People and the environment in Brazil? The Amazon is burning. Which side are you on? Take a very close look at your meat supply chain.

I'm the daughter of a refugee. And guess what? They only came here because they were desperate. That's why the asylum system exists. And if you really only care about refugee numbers, use your energy to stop climate change. Because that's REALLY going to cause a refugee crisis.

Hey @RishiSunak, @grantshapps. In case you missed it @GreenpeaceUK dropped this in your inbox: greenpeace.org.uk/wp-content/upl… It sets out the steps you need to take in order to create a more sustainable aviation industry as we recover from Covid-19 #GreenRecovery

.@RishiSunak if we’re going to #BuildBackBetter the airlines can’t carry on with business-as-usual. We need strict conditions on public money to protect workers & the climate #GreenRecovery

.@grantshapps, as the Secretary of State for Transport - can you confirm that you will put conditions to protect workers and the climate on any bailouts for the aviation sector? If we’re going to #BuildBackBetter the airlines can’t carry on business-as-usual #GreenRecovery
