👉🏽 News item 1: @UKLabour and @Conservatives both debating rolling back their green policies
👉🏽 News item 2: tourists sheltering from wildfires in Rhodes
🙄 No link made between the two
😤 No discussion of practical action that could be taken to address the #ClimateCrisis

Message from Uxbridge is about the power of fossil fuel and car lobbies

My heart sank at thought of two right-wingers debating green policy but @IanDuncanHMG and @topnigel made a lot of sense:
🧐 We must not weaponise and lose existing cross-party consensus
🏭 Business supports green transition
🤗 But it must be just - with nobody left behind

A useful summary of the life of the man who led the rise of far right in the UK
His history of racism, support for Putin and crookery is not news
What is extraordinary is how BBC assisted his rise and still offer him so much airtime
And how few journalists have challenged him

Whole point of a two-party system is polarization and mutual antipathy
As by-election results showed, most likely response of disillusioned Tory voter is to stay at home
Absurd for tactical voting advocates to ignore this
Many voters may vote Green but never Labour - or Tory

.@TheGreenParty got our best ever by-election result last night
Our vote held up because people aren't just voting 'not Tory'
They're choosing a party they know will take action on the climate and ecological emergencies we're facing

In Westminster elections hysterical tactical voting messages squeeze Green vote to the bone
But you can't tell how people how to vote and many people would never vote Labour or Lib Dem
The point about democracy is choosing a policy platform not being told who to vote against

Allan Andrews: @GreenPartyMolly @CarolineLucas Yeah and you got enough votes at Uxbridge to allow the Tory to get elected. A few hundred votes to the greens rather than labour cost labour the seat. GTTO is what matters not a few hundred votes for the Green Party.

Re @JR_Marketeer I think you are missing the point to be honest. The point is that people choose parties whose policies they support. That's the point of democracy. Not for some parties to tell people how to vote and who not to vote for

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
