I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
Labour faces a green apocalypse at the local elections

Just as there were people who resisted the introduction of inside toilets, seatbelts, women’s votes, lead free toys etc Tice & his party are similarly reluctant to embrace what most people can clearly see is needed. Unimaginative, regressive, fact averse idiots.
Let’s never let them run our country.
"Think tanks, foundations and corporate donors form an extensive international infrastructure supporting free-market fundamentalism and nationalist politics."
China has more than 70% of all the high speed rail in the entire world.
It installs more Renewable Energy than the rest of the world combined.
It has some of lowest electricity and water prices in the world.
All because China never privatised any of it.
Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.
Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.
It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.
Green line catching up with the red one and crossing over it!

If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things.
One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack.
Not foreign wars.
Just the cost to defend this country.
IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!!
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
If you can stay home, AWESOME.
If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day.
The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER.

We need a windfall tax: all profit from oil & gas companies made because of this war should be invested in solar & wind energy.
⬇️ To lower our energy bills.
⚡️ To create a future where our energy doesn’t depend on pollutants or is controlled by autocrats.
💚 To benefit the people and the climate.

"Polanski’s speech won a standing ovation & was welcomed by NEU general secretary, Daniel Kebede, who said more than 60% of his members used to vote Labour.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.
He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.
While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.
Hannah and Zack on stage together
Half a million people standing against the far right.
Half a million people who care about each other and our communities.
Half a million people ready to make hope normal again.
So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

This is why Daily Mail journalists are going after my family now.
The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party.
We're ready to end Rip off Britain, end the cost of living crisis and make hope normal again.
The morning after Hannah won I was asked time and time again about this.
There was no evidence for it. Instead the establishment media fuelled the fire.
It was Islamaphobic. And it's because those in power are scared of us ending rip off Britain.
I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s.

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted?
All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.
"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"
These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."
Governments sit and watch while oligarchs purchase our politics, as if it were just another asset to be monopolised. For the sake of democracy and our own survival, we need to get the money out. Our political systems must belong to us and us alone.

Andrzej Kozlowski Follow @akoz33 "Literacy" was always the most basic tool of totalitarian propaganda. If you are not literate you can't be fed communist propaganda.

Cubans out in force to protest against Donald Trump's evil blockade and to show support for the Cuban Government and Palestine.
Donald Trump is a War Criminal.
Reform UK really do inspire community action in the most unexpected ways.
Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero.

Let me tell you something about Cuba.
US officials are constantly saying "socialism in Cuba is a failure". But in fact Cuba's achievements with socialism are extremely impressive:
We live in Rip Off Britain.
We have to lower people's bills and tax wealth fairly.
This morning I'll be starting to lay out our vision of how to do this.
