@LoftusSteve @meadwaj If you fix the price at which suppliers sell electricity when they can't control the price at which they buy it you either have to subsidise them or nationalise them. We're suggesting the second. It probably will work out cheaper than the first

@LoftusSteve @meadwaj Our policy is to nationalise the retailers
That's why that's the cost I quoted
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/GreenPartyMolly/status/1559933747075620864
@LoftusSteve @meadwaj It's less than £3bn
Less than has already been spent on bailing out customers of different supply companies

@meadwaj Spot on!

@TheSpotWatson @GreenPartyJack They wouldn’t have to pay those prices if our policies on moving away from fossil fuels had been followed for the past several decades
Solar and wind power are the cheapest way to generate electricity

@PatDBMcAllister @CreserDylanPol Remind producers of legal requirements
Persistent pitching (more media staff)
Having something to say about all leading political issues
Strengthening and training spokespeople
Plus the relationship building

@PatDBMcAllister @CreserDylanPol You're right: it's all about relationships
Myself, media staff, and leadership team continually make and maintain relationships with key journalists and producers
This doesn't achieve anything like as much coverage as a party of our size deserves, however

@CarolineRussell @sunny_hundal The advantage of taking back control

Labour loses nearly 100,000 members and makes £5 million loss in 2021
Labour's income from membership fees fell from £19.3m in 2020 to £16.2m in 2021, a £3.1 drop in income which made up the majority of its £5.2m deficit.
Listen to your members!

@sunny_hundal @CarolineRussell If you read the full proposal you'll see that we also suggested differential and progressive tariffs to favour green energy companies and incentivise energy efficiency

@sunny_hundal @CarolineRussell Hi Sunny
Thanks for engaging with proposal
Any cap on energy prices has to be matched with subsidy otherwise cos. will go bust
Because we're controlling the sale price for energy but not the purchase price (global markets)
We're just suggesting that subsidy goes with control

Before we joined the EU we were the dirty man of Europe
I'm shocked by how quickly we've return to that filthy status without the protection of EU legislation
We shouldn't have to swim in s*** to enjoy our waterways this summer

For my holiday this year I’ll be visiting my daughter in Glasgow
Sadly, Avanti have cancelled my train
They can’t run the service because they have sent money to shareholders rather than employing train drivers
Time to take back control of our railway

Just four months after Navy vessels brought in to patrol Channel
Claim was move would help ensure that “no boat makes it to the UK undetected”
More disastrous ‘government’ by PR stunt

Brexit means loss of EU workers
Now replaced by global workers facing exploitation and probably breaking UK laws
From fewer than 3,000 visas to over 40,000
The promise of Brexit on migration?
Or another of the #BrexitLies turning into #BrexitReality?
