.@MickWhelanASLEF is right to identify signs of rising fascism in UK
Attacks on judiciary, legal attacks on right to protest, and now right to strike

@Bluesprints Every list has Glasgow at the top. I’m hopeful for you
Plus my daughter lives there so I could enjoy the buzz
Heading your way on Wednesday for a cultural tour

Glasgow has an unassailable claim to host Eurovision
Abba created a dreadful rhyme just to include it in their hit Supertrouper
🤔 Or did they just use the city to find a rhyme for ‘last show’?

🏥 🌾🔥 Droughts, fires, NHS crisis, and impossible bills looming
🤬 A government that has gone on a six-week holiday
🧐 How can 37% of people be looking at this and thinking ‘Oh yes, I’ll vote for more or the same’?

NHS is in winter-style crisis in the middle of summer
People are dying waiting for ambulances and waiting for a hospital bed
Remember the £350m on that red bus?
And this ad, saying Brexit would mean more money for the NHS?
They lied, and lied again

So economy is already shrinking
This suggest heavy-handed interest rate rise by Bank of England was mistimed and misjudged
Government intervention to limit energy price rises is vital to curb inflation
Blunt instrument of interest rates is just damaging post-Covid recovery

The wind hasn’t changed but the technology has
Something else that hasn’t changed: *conservative* thinking
RT @MLiebreich: One of these is a mediaeval windmill, the other is modern offshore wind turbine, 1500x more powerful, 60% capacity factor. Is there anyone out there who can't tell the difference?

Hi @JustinOnWeb
We heard from two people from aviation industry this morning, both trying to boost passenger numbers
Can I politely suggest that tomorrow we might hear from somebody concerned about the impact of aviation on the climate crisis?
@FlightFreeUK perhaps?

Gordon Brown is right
When markets fail only governments are powerful enough to act as lender/supplier of last resort
When it is something as vital as energy (or money) they have a moral duty to do so
Only govt can fix energy price at affordable level

🤪 @JamesCleverly living up to his ironic name choice again
🤓 You take the tax money from some people and give it to other people
🧑🏿🎓 And slightly more sophisticated: you tax money from people who have more of it and give it to people who have less of it

So depressing that Labour dinosaurs are blocking democracy in this country
Remember this when they try to bully you into voting tactically
Or even not standing

RT @Neal_Compass: The Labour Party machine blocked the @CompassOffice #OnlyStandtoWin motion from being heard at the upcoming conference, but members are challenging the legal reasoning. There are seats that @UKLabour cannot win, but the Tori…

‘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’

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
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/GreenPartyMolly/status/1557249563660099584
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
