Solidarity with workers who've been offered a miserable pay cut and are asking to have enough to cover the inflation we're facing. I joined baby Oliver and @jajo_osborn and @LesleyJGrahame on the picket line today. ?s=20&t=23-sPV9aMfcGi-2e5MSufw

RT @AJS77: @AlastairMorgan @wildkippers Tories won with 43% of the national vote. But thanks to UK’s unbalanced political map and broken electoral system, the Tories won 56% of seats in the Commons + 80 seat majority.

UK’s FPTP voting system is not fit for purpose.

I wonder whether they'll manage to fix it? One thing's sure. We in the UK will still be out here in the cold.
And they're probably going to exchange one kind of dependence on another, because what was actually needed was to transition to local renewables twenty years ago.

UK housing problems mean we have absurdly long commutes. Long commutes destroy the environment, but they also lead to misery and low productivity. If you reduce them, we get more time for fitness, leisure, family. Let's put this right for everyone, not just those who can wfh.

This does. So why do Ofgem it away in their back pages. We shouldn't have to hunt around to find this basic information so we can get our calculators out & estimate our own bills.

RT @nicransome: Tories cannot serve two masters. And will not. Their master is the deathcult corporate oligarchy who would poison and kill us all for profit & ideology. Then there's us fuckwits, who vote for/enable them and pay their obscene salary, corrupt expenses & gravy-train food/alcohol.

RT @BylinesEast: People have been confused by the energy price cap. The price we are seeing in the press is based on the percentage increase of an AVERAGE bill. Yours may be lower or higher. This may make what we are facing clearer.

RT @natalieben: 💰 The Big Five energy companies have paid out £23 billion in dividends over the past 10 years.

It's time that money was used to invest in energy efficiency to bring down bills and give people some certainty and security.
