Investing in nuclear guarantees that we will miss the window to keep our climate within a liveable limit

Failing to tackle issues of energy demand and installation of renewables right now is a tragedy for future generations

Big bucks are going to carbon capture and storage

Unproven and largely an excuse for not reducing emissions

@TheGreenParty would invest in a massive insulation programme to reduce demand

And invest in tidal lagoons, hydrogen, and storage to balance grid

Investment in the green economy is urgently needed

@TheGreenParty supports a tax deduction to encourage investment

But only for green businesses

It’s not just about size; we need positive green activity, not growth at any price or in damaging sectors

£200m extra for potholes would have amused Keynes, going alongside tax break for drivers

This really is digging holes and filling them in

What we need is a vision for a green economy and investment in public transport

Especially £1 fare to get you there

Suggestion that we can have 12 Canary Wharfs is absurd

The UK only has one financial centre and it’s in decline

Enterprise Zones will encourage tax avoidance and are more likely to cause economic displacement than growth

Lower business investment and tight Labour-market are both direct consequences of leaving the EU

The Brexit vote led to a collapse in investment

And ending free movement meant the loss of millions of workers

An absurdly populist measure

I suppose at least it’s cheaper to drown your sorrows about the damage Brexit is wreaking on our economy

Chancellor tries to take credit for halving inflation

But this is a purely technical matter since it is a year-on-year calculation

The massive prices increases are still baked in

And most of us haven’t had pay rises to match and so are poorer

This is the new front in the climate denial campaign

I’ve got a house from exactly just era and it’s warmed efficiently and cheaply by a heat pump

You have to start with insulation but then the heat pump can certainly heat this sort of house

UK poised to remove import tariffs on Malaysian palm oil

Devastating impacts of palm oil on habitats for precious creatures like orangutans well known

Brexit posturing about a nugatory trade deal with the Pacific will lead to death and destruction

#Budget2023 will be chasing growth at any cost

A Green Budget would focus on quality, happiness, & fairness

Of course we want more home insulation and renewables but we don’t want more online gambling or short-haul flights

The Chancellor may have friends who have more than £1m in their pension pot but I don't

Do you?

It looks like we're going to have a budget for the wealthy

@TheGreenParty would support affordable and accessible buses and free childcare so ordinary people could afford to work

@sandtreader @TheGreenParty Hi Paul. We don’t want to join the single market without joining the political institutions because of the democratic deficit

We do argue for freedom of movement without single market membership. This would be a first but is possible

A Chair who misleads Parliament - not a problem

A sports presenter who condemns racist policy on migration - 'standing aside'

The BBC's reputation dragged through the mire

Sunak won’t get a deal with Macron because:

Migration in France is dealt with at EU level

EU countries are horrified by UK breaking international law

And threatening to leave ECHR

Brexit has make Tory migration chaos worse

And made it harder to ‘control borders’

@colinngordon1 @patienceforem @thomasbrake @mikegalsworthy @euromove @annabirdfr @Wilson4VC The European Movement is committed to working in a cross-party way and too close an attachment to any one political party would be a disadvantage in our Chair in my view
