This week...
The Conservatives announced their plans for approving new oil and gas🤨
We heard that 2023 will almost certainly be the hottest year on record 🔥
💚 With more Greens in Parliament, we'll have more MPs working for a fairer, greener future.

😴 No matter how many warnings, the Conservatives won't wake up to our climate reality.
🔥 2023 is likely the hottest year ever, and the PM is planning new oil and gas.
💚 More Greens elected will mean more MPs working hard to serve the people, not fossil fuel companies.

‼️More people now living in temporary accommodation than for past 25 years
🏘️Annual cost could build 100,000 homes over 5 years
Greens would
✅build more social housing
✅control rents
So that every family can afford a secure home.

💡 Renewable energy is the perfect example of a good investment to tackle climate change and the cost of living.
👍 It's the greenest AND cheapest way to produce electricity.
💚 Let's invest in renewables and green industries like retrofit to lower bills and emissions.

The
https://nitter.cz/jrf_uk
report makes for grim reading: 3.8m people experienced destitution in 2022, incl. around 1m children.
This crisis of inequality must end.
💚We would start by uplifting Universal Credit by £40/week, scrapping the child benefit cap and introducing a wealth tax.

👏 A welcome report by the National Infrastructure Commission.
👎Government under-investment means higher bills, worse public transport, and more pollution in our rivers.
💚 It's time to renew our economy, repair our services and restore our rivers.

🚌 Buses are vital for connecting our communities in rural areas like Herefordshire.
❌ But years of cuts have hurt our local economy.
💚 In the Green Party, we have a plan to make bus services affordable, reliable and regular.

Antarctic sea ice just set a record low for its winter maximum, by a pretty massive margin

Only 16.96 million square kilometers in extent

This is a stat everyone should know.
📉 Under the Conservatives, social rent housebuilding has collapsed - down to only 20% of the 2010 level.
🏠 “the number of new social rent homes has plummeted, from 39,500 a year in 2010/11 down to 7,600 in 2021/22.”
