When inflation in food prices is 11% we need wages and benefits to rise to match. No one should be paid wages so low that they can't afford proper meals. You can't work (nor do your school work) if you're starving.

RT @GreenJennyJones: Desperate times. Noone wants to protest, we all have better things to do. But we understand we are damaging the only planetary home we have.

RT @KBRH87: @JKSteinberger One key factor that’s missing the this post is the actual emissions from biomass, biogas and hydrogen. If these where included you wouldn’t be able to argue for a decoupling as shown in these graphs from Denmark.

This is sad news of the death of a former long serving Green Party MEP. His work for the protection of animals and improvements to EU regulations for animal welfare was second to none.
RT @JeanLambertLDN: Heartbroken to hear of the death of my friend and former MEP colleague #KeithTaylor. Passionate about making the world a better place. Always good company. Deepest sympathy to his family.

And there's such a simple, obvious and humane solution that would end all this. But it would be a kind and welcoming solution and helpful for the victims of war, so we aren't allowed to have it. What? 👀👀👀

Isn't it laughable for the UK to be helping Ukraine to defend itself against #CyberAttack, when our own government, former prime ministers & foreign secretaries are incapable of basic cyber security measures, and leave an array of UK state secrets on display for the Russians? 🙄
