And so it begins. The slashing of workers’ rights.
Remember project fear?
How about improving / supporting childcare to give a ‘massive boost’ to our economy Mel? That would also work.
RT @JolyonMaugham: Tory welfare chief @meljstride called for a slashing of maternity rights to “provide a massive shot in the arm for British business."
Nice people, these Tories. https://t.co/uJNBCd6eoH

Shocking video showing Cornwall sea full of sewage. Govt’s Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan gives water companies until 2050 to eliminate or reduce mass-scale sewage discharges. Another 28 years of this?!
SW Water need to clean up their act.

Renewable energy is so obviously the answer. So depressing that UK gov won’t commit fully to transition. Thanks to @TRESOC for good chat at Totnes Energy Wise Show today.

Nadine Dorries talking sense on climate change.
Yet another issue that is going to tear at the fabric of the Conservative party…
RT @NadineDorries: For balance, my friend…The Prime Minister is WRONG not to go to COP. Global warming is the biggest crisis facing our planet and net zero creates many 1000s of jobs which is good for the economy. COP in Glasgow was most successful ever… but don’t expect media to report that

In Totnes constituency 225 children are in kinship care - being looked after by friends or relatives.
I'm proud that Lib Dem MP @munirawilson is campaigning for more support for these carers, who get no local authority support for taking care of vulnerable children.

His actions fly in the face of the UK's proud record of leading the global fight against climate change.

RT @EdwardJDavey: The Conservatives' refusal to properly tax the eye-watering profits of oil and gas companies is an insult to all those struggling with their bills.
Even Shell’s CEO has admitted they should be taxed more. People should not have to pick up the bill for this Tory economic chaos.
