Looks like the interest-rate hike is pushing the economy into recession, what the Chancellor called ‘a price worth paying’
But we should be focusing on what the economy does, not how big it is
We should be focused on figures on the speed of the sustainability transition

So please can we stop stories of people 'basking' in potentially fatal temperatures?
Right across the media?
And replace them with much, much more about how to prevent runaway climate change?

The planet is frying but #WATO is spending ages on a non-story created by The Sun
Why not talk about the #ClimateCrisis? Or how you report the climate emergency?
This is displacement activity on a grand scale

🤔 Hard to know whether anybody actually believes this
😏 Or whether it is just myth-making by Labour for whom there is very little enthusiasm
🙄 Not being the Tories is their trump card

Carl Malkin 💙: @upwardology @GreenPartyMolly @Ald19Dr @TheGreenParty @GreenWorld The Green Party has 5% of the vote at best. That 5% would vote Labour otherwise.
The Greens should stand down if they really want rid of the Tories otherwise we can assume they support the Tories.

Labour has abused our attempts at electoral cooperation
And weaponised the Progressive Alliance to damage @TheGreenParty
At the next general election we must stand in every seat and fight to win

Disappointing to hear @AnasSarwar talking about windpower in terms of community stake and community partnership but not community *ownership*

Re @dicpagebrighton @martin_westall This is a disagreement between Labour and Greens, it seems. Labour support a national energy company, publicly owned, with some of the profits/surplus going to people where the energy is generated. Greens support renewable energy schemes owned and controlled by local people

Utter and chilling cowardice
Good on you, @CarolineRussell, and on all elected Greens who have the courage to challenge the rise of authoritarianism
