“If non-voting was a party, it would have largest share of support by far”. Alarm bells should be ringing over lowest turnout since 1928 - just 52% of UK adults. A fairer voting system where all votes count has to be first step to rebuild trust - Labour??

RT by @CarolineLucas: Some v misleading claims about heat pumps in this @Telegraph comment piece by Robert Taylor

It fails to grasp the key point about heat pumps - they lead to energy security. Reliance on gas boilers is a major reason we were so badly hit by the gas crisis

Here's the rundown... 🧵

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🤯 Water companies want to hike our bills even more to pay for their failure.

📈 Thames Water customers will see a 22% increase in their bills over the next five years.

🤝 Water companies should immediately be brought into public hands and run for people, not profit.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The dangers of First Past the Post in the UK have been shown in the UK over the last ten years with the system enabling the last decade of chaos. The French were only able to avoid a far right government because they don’t have First Past the Post. Sir Keir Starmer should take heed of his party members’ support for proportional representation. My letter in @thetimes today.
