Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP: I’ve written to @Keir_Starmer to request he pays for the criminal damage the Just Stop Oil attacks on the Energy Security Department caused this morning
As the political wing of Just Stop Oil, it is the Labour Party not the taxpayer that should be paying the bill t.co/UAPT6gWUEK

*Legislation is suggested!*

Islas Malvinas: EU signs deal using Falklands’ Argentine name
Just one more indication that Brexit has left us with diminished diplomatic power

Crown estate triples pay of CEO in 3 years to nearly £1.6m
A disgrace when so many are struggling with the cost of living crisis
We need to end this medieval anachronism and manage our natural resources for the public good and to achieve sustainability

Everything is broken and the world is frying and yet the prime minister finds time to comment on this!
When can we get rid of this bunch of posturing amateurs?

Rishi Sunak: This is wrong.
No one should be barred from using basic services for their political views.
Free speech is the cornerstone of our democracy.

How can this be reduced to a human interest story?!
Journalists should be asking how we can get fossil fuels out of our economy as quickly as possible
In order to preserve life on Earth

Europe’s frying and there is precious little climate action
But 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

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

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
