'in one ear the science is telling us calmly to change now, and fast. But in the other, advertising tells us to carry on living heavily polluting lifestyles and buying high-carbon products'
Time to ban adverts for flights and other high-energy products

The real aim of Farage and cronies: watering down EU anti-money laundering legislation
The transparency it demands essential for sanctions on Russia
Again we see Farage-Putin connection
Again we ask why journalists always fall for scam

Re @drmatthewhardy Sorry, Matthew, we tried that and Labour used it as a weapon against us
https://greenworld.org.uk/article/labours-misuse-progressive-alliance
Plus Labour seemed to do a pretty good job of being divided against themselves
Maybe if they learn to unify and cooperate we might make progress

It’s not just that travel companies are still flying tourists into this hellhole
It’s also that the advertising of flights for weekend breaks across Europe is still legal
We’re in a climate crisis and we need to act like it

My iPad is nearly three years old and I seem to have hit some sort of 🍏 built-in obsolescence barrier
Apps won’t update and the iPad won’t run previous versions
Any thoughts on a workaround?

Re @EdwinaLL The whole point is to try to avoid buying something new

Re @Shotline But my main objective is to avoid buying anything new at this point

👉🏽 News item 1: @UKLabour and @Conservatives both debating rolling back their green policies
👉🏽 News item 2: tourists sheltering from wildfires in Rhodes
🙄 No link made between the two
😤 No discussion of practical action that could be taken to address the #ClimateCrisis

Message from Uxbridge is about the power of fossil fuel and car lobbies
Not that people don’t care about children dying from dirty air
@Thegreenparty was only party to increase vote share in all three by-elections

My heart sank at thought of two right-wingers debating green policy but @IanDuncanHMG and @topnigel made a lot of sense:
🧐 We must not weaponise and lose existing cross-party consensus
🏭 Business supports green transition
🤗 But it must be just - with nobody left behind

A useful summary of the life of the man who led the rise of far right in the UK
His history of racism, support for Putin and crookery is not news
What is extraordinary is how BBC assisted his rise and still offer him so much airtime
And how few journalists have challenged him

Whole point of a two-party system is polarization and mutual antipathy
As by-election results showed, most likely response of disillusioned Tory voter is to stay at home
Absurd for tactical voting advocates to ignore this
Many voters may vote Green but never Labour - or Tory

Re @ConabeareStuart @TheGreenParty Are you for real? It’s about incentives

.@TheGreenParty got our best ever by-election result last night
Our vote held up because people aren't just voting 'not Tory'
They're choosing a party they know will take action on the climate and ecological emergencies we're facing

Re @AnneLindsay7 @KBGreyhoundlady @Paul_Briley Labour got 2.6% and lost their deposit

In Westminster elections hysterical tactical voting messages squeeze Green vote to the bone
But you can't tell how people how to vote and many people would never vote Labour or Lib Dem
The point about democracy is choosing a policy platform not being told who to vote against

Allan Andrews: @GreenPartyMolly @CarolineLucas Yeah and you got enough votes at Uxbridge to allow the Tory to get elected. A few hundred votes to the greens rather than labour cost labour the seat. GTTO is what matters not a few hundred votes for the Green Party.

Re @JR_Marketeer I think you are missing the point to be honest. The point is that people choose parties whose policies they support. That's the point of democracy. Not for some parties to tell people how to vote and who not to vote for
