It will get almost no publicity, but the government just won a vote to take control of the Electoral Commission. That’s right: Johnson will now wield ultimate power over another of the bodies designed to hold executive power in check. This is not a functioning democracy.

On our Mass Trespass of the Duke of Somerset’s pheasant shoot woods, we’ve discovered a mass grave of scores of discarded pheasants, wire mesh fencing, & fly-tipped rubbish. We’re here to draw back the veil of secrecy that hides how landowners - not ramblers - trash nature.

Hiked for 6 hours today and saw 2 native trees the rest was man-made monoculture. It doesn't have to be this way these uplands could be a rich mosaic of woodland (yes even to the summits in places), peat bog and heather moor. We must repair our nature depleted country. #Rewild

Word of the day is 'misken' (15th century): to refuse to recognise something by pretending it's not happening.

What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

Scientists are clear there must be NO new fossil fuels to avoid the catastrophic consequences of exceeding 1.5°C. But the Government is issuing over 100 new oil & gas licences, approving a new coal mine, and admits we'll miss key climate targets by a mile. zerohour.uk/graphics
