It’s great to see @GreenpeaceUK acknowledge the links between colonialism and the climate crisis
@TheGreenParty has long recognized that there can be no climate justice without social justice and racial justice
These crises are all the same crisis

We will not ‘let trade unions grind our economy to a halt’
We will do that ourselves through Brexit, allowing value to go to rentiers rather than investors, and our historic failure to tackle the climate crisis
RT @KwasiKwarteng: Today we changed the law to allow businesses impacted by strike action to hire skilled, temporary workers to mitigate disruption.
This was a criminal offence. Now it’s an option for business.

Truss citing Patrick Minford should ring alarm bells
He is seen as a maverick whose work runs counter to that of the vast majority of economists
And his predictions are almost always completely wrong
More evidence of Tories living in a parallel universe

In her interview on @BBCr4today, Liz Truss made 3 economic propositions
