Today, the Chancellor is going to announce a totally new economic programme
In this economic crisis, policy-making has become a private conversation between the Conservative Party and the markets
It’s time we remembered we are supposed to be a democracy

Surely this tribal action by Labour to prevent cooperation with @TheGreenParty should be investigated and reported?
It follows Labour HQ breaking up Red-Green council working in Hastings and Stroud
@peterwalker99 @joncstone @stephenkb
RT @WareGreenCllr: .@UKLabour is now blocking members from even applying to be a Parliamentary Candidate if they have ever liked a tweet from @CarolineLucas. This is ridiculous. I suggest member…

Why is #BBCLauraK wearing disco clothes when we’re all trying to keep the heating off in solidarity with Ukraine?
Please @BBCPolitics @SkyNews @PaulBrandITV @Channel4News
Get with the programme, turn your thermostats down, and get your presenters modelling energy saving

@chrisG987 We are proposing a nationwide constitutional convention so everybody can have the say about what a written constitution should look like
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/GreenPartyMolly/status/1581547591115735041
So we’ve got the policies of Rishi Sunak but the person who stood on the opposite platform is our PM
Yet another reason why we need a proper written constitution and a true democracy

The Tories have brought us Brexit, economic mismanagement, political chaos
All of these have made us poorer
Now @Jeremy_Hunt tells us we will face more spending cuts
We must have a chance to pass our verdict on this dire government

“The Brexit bubble has burst. The country has seen that Tory hallucination of an island able to command the tides was no more than a fever dream. We can pronounce Trussonomics dead. Bring on the day we can say the same of the delusion that spawned it”

We will have had four chancellors within a single year
At a time of historic economic - and now financial - crisis
This exhausted and incompetent government must go

@BrianMathew4NW @SaveStonehenge @stroudnews James Gray's article seems to amount to: 'everything would be fine if only the markets would see what a great plan this is'
A stray quotation mark suggests it may not be all his own work either

Desperate to hear @JamesCleverly pointing to mythical growth to fill fiscal gap
We are already in recession with no sign of growth on the horizon
Every time they open their mouths the bond markets slump

Oh how I loved hearing @gilliantett call Mogg’s comments on loss of confidence in UK economy ‘bollocks’ 🤣🤣🤣

@AdrianFaiers @TheGreenParty Absolutely not, but we don’t want a chaotic recession. We want a managed transition to a more equal and sustainable economy.

🤗 I'm excited too!!
🥂💐💚 Many congratulations!
💪🏽 It's going to be amazing
RT @TerryReintke: Yeah! ✨💖 I just got elected as new Co-Chair of @greensefa. I am completely overwhelmed and happy about the great trust that was put in me. Let’s do this! 1/3

Loss of confidence, fear about energy bills, lack of faith in the government
All of this is causing people to reduce spending
We’re in a downward spiral of recession and decline
Rather than tax cuts, we should have a wealth tax and transfers to boost spending by the poor

Andrew Bailey rules out extending Bank of England intervention
This looks like a chicken game between Bank and Chancellor
The bank cannot carry on clearing up the mess made Kwarteng
Chancellor needs to show fiscal responsibility - and urgently

This was a marvellous interview from Jamie Oliver 👏🏿
He's my hero today
If you missed it, catch up now and give yourself a boost
RT @BBCr4today: "I'm up for the fight"
Chef and campaigner Jamie Oliver tells @bbcnickrobinson he doesn't believe Liz Truss - like previous PMs - will put child health first. He thinks there is too much marketing of junk food and wants more children to get free school meals in England

Kwarteng and Truss are tanking the economy to reward their oligarch mates
We're paying now through higher interest rates and borrowing costs
We will pay again through public spending cuts
I can't remember the last time I felt this furious

Such important analysis
Tory prejudice against green energy left us vulnerable to this energy crisis
If we had carried on with onshore wind, insulation and solar we would have been better placed to stand up to Putin
RT @DrSimEvans: To conclude: If UK hadn't "cut the green crap" over the past decade, gas imports would be 13% lower
Remember:
🌞Every 5GW of solar cuts gas imports by 2%
🌬️Every 5GW of onshore wind cuts imports b…

Govt has always uprated benefits in line with inflation
This should not be a debate
Graphic shows most people on universal credit are either already working
Or can’t work because of disability
Cutting their real incomes is hitting the vulnerable to fund tax cuts for wealthy
