This feels rather pointed on the day Biden meets Trust for the first time
She's establishing herself as the champion of trickle-down
Which is just a big lie created by the rich to serve themselves
RT @POTUS: I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked.
We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.

How frightening to live under a dictator who throws your children’s lives away and threatens nuclear attack
Putin’s rejection of intl law and medieval brutality must be resisted

No US trade deal on the horizon, admits Truss as she flies in for Biden meeting
Trump and Putin may have liked the idea of Brexit; the democratic leaders of the world not so much
More Brexit lies unravel

As more stories of the Queen’s private comments come out we learn more about her insight and sense of humour
But also the fact that her private comments were kept private until her death
This is the ultimate act of respect

Now declining further because of loss of confidence in this government
Making cost of living crisis worse

Kwarteng seeks to scrap bankers’ bonus cap
Green MEP @ph_lamberts fought hard for this cap
As many struggle to get by, government priority is to restore astronomical pay to bankers
And encourage the return of risk taking for which we are all liable

Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as £10.2tn by 2050, an Oxford University study says

It’s renewables, not fossils, that promise a brighter future

UK real wages keep falling
Real pay fell by 2.6% last month
Among the largest falls in wages since comparable records began in 2001

I’m disgusted to see PM Truss using the energy price crisis to revive the fossil fuel sector
This will ensure we miss our climate targets and are contributing to making life unliveable for our grandchildren

🔥Fossil fuels do not offer ‘energy security’ - dependence on fossil fuels caused this crisis
🌎 And climate catastrophe
💪🏽We need insulation, retrofit, and urgent managed decline of fossil energy

.@PJTheEconomist is right: plans to cap energy prices are not targetted
And mask price signal to consume less energy
That’s why @TheGreenParty proposal includes progressive tariff so you pay more as you use more energy
And would be paid for by increasing wealth taxes
