King Charles grants us a windfall from wind: now it is crucial we question ownership of the seabed
@TheGreenParty is clear that the seabed should be commonwealth, its value channelled into a green sovereign wealth fund
I write for @GdnPolitics

The crown owns most of the U.K. seabed. That's slowing conservation work
Greens have always argued that our marine environment should be common wealth
I’m glad that the new king listened to my point of view on this one 😉

Sunak constituency bid raises ‘levelling up’ favouritism fears
EU regional funds had clear criteria directing them towards communities most in need
This Tory replacement is pork-barrel politics to help them wi marginal seats
Sad reality of Brexit

Brexit has left us short of 330,000 workers
Undermining both public and private sectors and increasing inflation

Even Eurosceptics should be sceptical about retained EU law bill
As an elected MEP I was involved in making this legislation
This bill gives ministers power to trash those laws without reference to democratic representatives
Profoundly undemocratic

Banks pouring hundreds of billions into fossil fuels despite net zero pledges
Making a mockery of climate action and sustainable finance agenda
We need regulators to withdraw banking liences from financial institutions bankrolling climate devastation

Morning @JustinOnWeb
I appreciated your raising underfunding of NHS with Barclay
But was disappointed that you didn’t hold him to account for the excess deaths you had just described

I would also like to see minimum service levels for health, transport and other public services
The reason we don’t have them is 12 years of Tory austerity cuts and political chaos
And their refusal to introduce a fair and progressive tax system to fund our public services

I’m appalled to hear @UKLabour proposing more partnerships between NHS and private sector
This is playing the Tory game of underfunding NHS and then making failure a pretext for privatization
You can trust @TheGreenParty to never allow the private sector anywhere near #OurNHS

@LukePollard Hi Luke. Obviously I'm not a Labour voter but I wonder how many people who, like me, deeply regret Brexit are offended by the recycling of this slogan? I know I am

The journalistic focus on the latest revelations about dysfunctional Family Windsor is driving me well, yes, #Spare
