Hunt's

unravelling within 24 hours - now we learn energy price cap is going up, with another rise in bills for so many already struggling to pay. Yet not a *single* mention of insulation or energy efficiency in his speech. Unforgivable.

My reaction to smug & short-term
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23AutumnStatement
from Chancellor seemingly on different planet to rest of us. Cost of living crisis continues, highest inflation in G7. It was a missed opportunity to invest in public services slashed by 13 years of Tory cuts.

In the UK we *massively* undertax wealth compared to income. In past 10 years income has been taxed at average of 32%, compared to just 4% for wealth. Time for ultra-rich to start paying more - to fund public services and not let them crumble.

We're heading towards nearly 3C of catastrophic temperature rises. In just 1 year, Sunak has greenlit a new coal mine, the biggest undeveloped oil field in North Sea, & 100+ new oil & gas licences. His Govt is adding fuel to the flames of this emergency.

Not only are we off-track for keeping global temp rise below 1.5C. As it stands we're on track for *nearly 3C*. Memo to Sunak: the only "proportionate" climate action now is to stop all new fossil fuels, upscale renewables & insulate the nation

Half of world's marine species risk extinction by 2100. Govt trampling over Marine Protected Areas with reckless drilling won’t cut bills or help energy security – but it will line the pockets of mega-rich fossil fuel giants & damage precious marine life.
