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”
