@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt Hi Cat
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that we shouldn’t be celebrating fossil fuel profits in a climate emergency
We need fossil companies in public hands so that we can manage their rapid decline

@DrJoGrady I’m striking at Roehampton where we also have a local dispute over workloads
Massive increases in student numbers, a doubled workload and indiscriminate use of VLs - trashing the quality of HE

There is no comparison between the quality of Sturgeon and the hubris of Johnson and Truss
Scotland generates good leaders because they have strong political culture, an open and fair democracy, and a commitment to education
Why should they be held back by English obscurantism?

@Nipster90 The downward trend I like and have probably contributed to with legislative changes I helped negotiate
It's the upward trend at the end I'm worried about

Profits that feed greedy shareholders and trash the planet
Without strong intervention we will see more private investment flowing to this dangerous sector
We need governments to manage their rapid decline

@GeorgeMonbiot Morning George. I admire your courage in saying this. So depressing that we are forced to choose between this and the corrupt and incompetent Tories to govern our country

Ban on hunting birds with lead shot in EU wetlands hailed as ‘huge milestone’
But wetland birds in the UK will still die from lead poisoning
The lack of a ban here is a clear example of the loss of environmental protection since we left the EU

Senseless lawsuit could bankrupt the Labour party and let the Tories win again
@UKLabour is factionalized and current leadership intolerant and authoritarian
So depressing we are forced to choose between this and utterly corrupt and incompetent Tories

British university students hit by delays in post-Brexit travel scheme
‘Onerous bureaucracy, payment delays and hand-to-mouth funding have left young people on the programme stranded without money’
Let’s go back to Erasmus
Or better still, #RejoinEU

One in five jobs at Ford will be lost, that’s 1,300 jobs
With no Green Deal as is available in the US and without the protection of the EU single market our manufacturers are being eaten alive

Revealed: secret cross-party summit held to confront failings of Brexit
'highly unusual cross-party gathering reflects a growing acceptance among politicians that Brexit is damaging UK economy and reducing its strategic influence in the world'

So the Bank of England was too pessimistic about the economy
And government energy support helped reduce inflation
But the Bank’s misguided interest rate rise will push us into inflation in the next quarter
Policy incoherence is damaging the economy

US and EU are rushing ahead with subsidies to green industries
It's exhilarating to see them finally get the memo about green transition
Tragically, outside the EU, the UK is is being left behind

BP to miss key climate target as annual profits hit record £23bn
We need to get serious about dealing with these climate criminals
Obviously end all public subsidy
But also make it illegal for banks to lend to the development of fossil fuels

Sunak reshuffle: Greg Hands appointed Tory party chair while Grant Shapps made energy security and net zero secretary
More shuffling of the Brexit-loyal incompetents
A decade wasted since they abolished the Climate and Energy role

Brexit could be reversed with a decade!
People know marginal “fixes” to Brexit favoured by Labour cannot compensate for exclusion from EU market
Politicians need to catch up — soon the idea of rejoining the EU will become mainstream

As energy prices fall, our Bank chooses to increase interest rates again to 'control inflation'
Fighting the last war
Making it more expensive for businesses to invest
And pushing us into a deeper recession
More economic self-harm
