🤯 The Conservatives are planning to drop their £11.6bn international climate finance pledge.
🥀 Labour have rowed back on their £28bn 'green industry' pledge.
💚 Only the Green Party are committed to doing what is necessary to tackle the climate crisis AND bring down bills. https://t.co/Cc9oGQlmMK

It seems like every day brings a new reminder of the #ClimateEmergency.
And yet @theCCCuk report last week laid bare shameful inaction by our current govt.
So every day we need to increase our determination for real #ClimateAction.

🚰 When water companies like #ThamesWater were privatised, they had no debt.
💰 They have borrowed £53 BILLION, failed to invest in our infrastructure and paid out £72BILLION to shareholders.

The govt's abject failure to act in the face of the climate crisis is inexcusable.
This is why we urgently need more Greens elected.
We have to change this.

This is exactly the point I was making on @bbcaq on Friday. To get inflation down we need to tackle excess profits, not squeeze the consumption of households that are already struggling. https://n.respublicae.eu/PickardJE/status/1673575717844533248

Jim Pickard 🐋: IMF Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath warned that to tackle inflation sustainably, profits, not wages, should be cut:
“All else equal, if inflation is to fall quickly, firms must allow their profit margins — which have shot up during the past two years — to decline”

Our housing system is broken.
🏠Renters facing massive rent rises
🏠Homeowners up to the eyeballs in debt
🏠Shocking shortage of social housing
We need rent controls plus a national programme to build 100,000 extra affordable homes every year

Noone who reads the #PartyGate report can have any doubt: Boris Johnson lied repeatedly. His flagrant disregard for truth &amp; responsibility underline his disrespect for Parliament &amp; the British people. We always deserved better. Let us hope he is now consigned to history.

Seven years after her tragic murder, her legacy lives on and continues to inspire.
Let's honour her memory by working together to build better politics.

Just heading into House of Commons for #PrivilegesCommittee debate. Any Tory MPs not turning up or abstaining in this debate - one which goes to the heart of defending democratic principles in this country - is guilty of not just cowardice, but
complicity in Johnson’s contempt. https://t.co/jLLDpVtIKp
