Not only a waste of time but disappointing news that Farage is not following through on his threat to leave the country

Green💚🌻Molly: Europe’s frying and there is precious little climate action
But #WATO decide they’ll dedicate time to Farage’s bellyaching about his problem with his personal bank account
You literally couldn’t make this up
Climate displacement activity writ large

It’s intolerable to hear Rachel leaves say let a Labour govt would be unable to improve our lives ‘because there’s no money’
Aligning Capital Gains Tax with the effective rate of tax on earnings would raise c £16bn per year;
Extending NI to investment income would raise £8.6bn

Re Introducing a wealth tax would raise tens of billions
And the fact that we have a reserve currency means we can also use sovereign power of money creation for public benefit
Intolerable that Labour is telling us they will continue austerity to posture tough on public finances

😲 I remember when I first heard about 'the Rwanda policy': my jaw literally dropped
😰 I couldn't believe it was real
😡 But last night in The Lords Labour failed to block it
🤔 What is the point of an Opposition that won't oppose something so odious and immoral?

What are you thinking of, @FT?
How can you be allowing fossil industry to shape the narrative when they’ve lied, delayed the transition and put human survival at risk?
Advertising slows down our ability to eliminate fossil fuels from our economy, which needs to happen urgently

Oh dear, @grantshapps has drunk the nuclear Kool-Aid
Nuclear power cannot be installed fast enough to prevent runaway climate change
It is also far more expensive than renewables
Just note delays and additional costs at Hinkley to see the problems

The 21st-century version of Dickens’s hulks - decrepit boats moored on the Thames holding people before transportation
Those people were criminals; we are subjecting vulnerable people escaping war or the climate crisis to these appalling conditions
Shame on the Tories!

💚 So true!
We should be ensuring that all university courses include mandatory modules on the climate and ecological emergencies
So much more important than targeting humanities and demeaning our cultural heritage

The rise in SUVs has cancelled out emissions reductions by those choosing electric cars

The marketization of higher education has destroyed our universities
But in a market the *customers* get to choose what they buy
Government is now stopping students choosing their courses
As productive units of the economy, young people lose the right to choose their learning

Re @martin_westall I’ve lived in a small town with very poor bus services and without any car for some years now
Yes, you have to plan ahead. And sometimes you need to depend on your neighbours
But that is better than making life unlivable for our children

This would claw back just £1.3bn from some of poorest people - poorest children - in the country
This isn’t about fiscal prudence
It’s about signalling to oligarchs and financiers that they can trust Labour
And sacrificing our children to achieve that

‘We must stop climate solutions killing biodiversity’
When I see stories like this I always wonder who has paid for them
The greatest threat to biodiversity is rapid temperature changes that species cannot adapt to
Not bird strikes but wind turbines
