‘most wasteful companies waste more water than they provide to customers
£57bn paid out in dividends in last 30 years; hugely inflated salaries of water bosses
Cash should have gone towards plugging leaks’
@AdrianRamsay of @TheGreenParty calls for renationalisation of water

A graphic illustration of the disastrous impact of Brexit on UK trade
#BrexitIsntWorking
RT @shepotylo: Global trade hits record $7.7 trillion in first quarter of 2022 https://unctad.org/news/global-trade-hits-record-77-trillion-first-quarter-2022
It is about 20% more relative to pre-pandemic levels. Here is export growth of countries who exported at least 50bln USD in 2019Q1
So, how is Brexit going? Not so well...
#Brexit …

@joncstone I’m not sure whether you got our press release
Or indeed consider @TheGreenParty to be frontline politics!
But it’s clear that nationalization of water and railways is urgently needed
And larger role for government in energy too

Liz Truss rejects energy bill help as ‘Gordon Brown economics’
Hurrah for Gordon Brown economics!
Humane, muscular, intelligent
The direct opposite of the random and hostile nature of the unregulated market

Liz Truss is offering tax cuts and ‘no handouts’ when energy prices are rocketing
The people who will die this winter because of her cruelty do not pay tax
She is utterly out of touch with ordinary people’s lives

Liz Truss does not have the support of a majority of MPs
Nor does she have the support of the electorate
It is entirely wrong that she proposes radical changes to policy
If she wants to stray from the Tories’ existing manifesto we must have a #GeneralElectionNow

Horrifying stories of people pulling out their own teeth and living off soup because of the utter failure of NHS dental services
The result of 40 years of neoliberalism and 12 years of Tory government
Get the market model out of health care!
We deserve so much better

Public don’t want tax cuts Truss and Sunak are promising, poll reveals
'Only 22% said that taxes should be reduced and less spent on public services'
Not surprising that the public are smarter and more community minded than Tory leadership candidates

Could I politely ask you to have a little look at this @tomheapmedia @BBCJustinR @alextomo @EvanHD @fionaharvey
RT @GreenPartyMolly: Record-breaking fossil profits will attract investors, reversing progress towards divestment
All excess oil and gas profits must be taxed into public purse to ensure rapid demise of oil and gas
We cannot allow shareholders to profit from climate chaos

Thousands of people have responded by saying they should start with the Cabinet

Backed by £25m in new funding, the organisation will also work with departments & public bodies to test & improve their fraud defences.

Such an important 🧵
Other European countries are stepping up home insulation programmes
Tories are doing nothing to reduce demand for energy or challenge massive profits made by fossil companies
RT @janrosenow: Winter is coming - it is less than 60 days until the next heating season starts.
