With hours until
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23AutumnStatement
we know what Hunt *should* be announcing:
- Insulate the nation to cut energy bills & emissions
- Invest to mend broken public services
- Protect benefits not slash them
- Tax ultra-wealthy to help pay for it
I’ll be listening at 12:30 today...

The poorest face benefits being slashed & higher taxes by stealth - while big corporations, fossil fuel firms & ultra-rich are getting off effectively scot-free. Message to Hunt for

💩Something for your in-tray, Steve Barclay -

Water Quality report is telling you:
- Sewage was pumped into our waters 399,864 times last year
- 1,924 sickness reports
- CEOs are taking home £11m in profit
Truly revolting. Time to bring water back into public hands.

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.

Carbon intensive companies are polluting the planet & using glitzy ads to portray themselves as paragons of sustainability. My Digital Markets Bill amendments would deliver on PM's promise to tackle greenwashing, & clamp down on high-carbon ads damaging our precious environment👇

Confirmed by Sir Patrick Vallance at the

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 &amp; 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 &amp; damage precious marine life.
