⚡ YOU'VE WON! WE'VE WON! ⚡
The government has just announced an official end to their support for #fracking in England, after years of tireless campaigning. Fracking isn't wanted, isn't needed, and now - isn't happening.

Huge congratulations to all amazing campaigners! 🎉🍻💪
“This... is a tremendous victory for communities and the climate. For nearly a decade local people... have fought a David and Goliath battle against this powerful (#fracking) industry. We are proud to have been part of that fight.” - @CraigBennett3

@CraigBennett3 We welcome the moratorium on #fracking in England, but we must now ensure that legislation is passed so that the ban is made permanent. #BanFracking #ClimateEmergency

That moment when you hear the government is about to announce a major u-turn on #fracking.

Thank you to all the amazing campaigners who have been working tirelessly in the fight against fracking. Now we need a permanent ban. #BanFracking

Some of my photos of #fracking action over the last near-decade:

2011: A protest at the N.Ireland Assembly, back when some of the only people who knew about fracking in the UK were the residents of Co. Fermanagh, who were on the front line. (I was the grim reaper for a day!)
2012: Handing in an anti-fracking petition to No.10 with anti-fracking groups across the UK. (Yes I know - some of the people in this photo, we've found out since then, are deeply problematic...)
2013: One of the first big protests against #fracking in #Balcombe, Sussex. Charles Metcalfe - Balcombe resident, wine critic, Telegraph reader - giving a rousing speech to the crowd, demonstrating the breadth of the resistance. Followed by @chiversdanny right after :)

#NOW in Tsim Sha Tsui, umbrella-holding protesters have occupied Salisbury Rd and walked into Nathan Road. Not a huge crowd but many are waiting along roads from TST pier.

#NOW in Causeway Bay, a small crowd, including members of the yellow-vest Guard The Children group, are standing in shade outside Sogo. Quite a number of reporters waiting nearby, for a march that's uncertain whether will take place.
While #CarrieLam televised her vid speech, protesters filled East Point Rd in Causeway Bay, many defying #MaskBan

#NOW in Tsim Sha Tsui , people are forming human chain that is set to extend along Nathan Road towards Jordan
Hold hands with @pepe , the spirit animal of #HongKongProtests , is the theme of tonight's human chain from Tsim Sha Tsui to Prince Edward Station.
Pepe in human chain : one with a broken but still illuminating heart, black bloc pepe, big pepe, hand drawn pepe.

Need a quick overview of our new report assessing progress in preparing for the impacts of climate change in #England? Look no further! Read the full report theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…, take a look at our new infographic theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl… or check out the following #thread
[1/10] Ministers must strengthen policy on adaptation & put resources in place to drive action to prepare for climate impacts in #England. Our report finds that support services/funding have been eroded over past 10yrs & latest National Adaptation Programme is not strong enough.
[2/10] There are many examples of dedicated officials+organisations doing great work to try to build resilience to #climate impacts. But a better, strategic national framework to underpin and drive action on the ground is needed. Piecemeal action does not match the scale of risk.
