RT @RMTunion: If the @RMTunion members, who, incidentally, called off their strike, were to be sacked there really would be chaos because there’d be no trains for months and nobody to train any new recruits.

Sometimes, random rants into the Twittersphere should be given a modicum of thought!

Let's say thank you to our NHS doctors who still look after us despite the endless rudeness and obstacles placed by the NHS-hating Tories (who hate the very idea of us having care for our illness without the work returning a profit to their pals).

RT @TanjaBueltmann: How could anyone at the BBC possibly think that it’s ok to speak of a frontline against migrants and having to defend the UK? This is the language of war. You cannot do this. In fact: as the national broadcaster you have a duty not do something like this.

This is why redistribution is a climate crisis issue as well as a social justice issue.
RT @lifewithsommer: A new study has found that in a single year, the top 1% of earners in the UK are responsible for the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as the bottom 10% make in over twenty years.

If the state created the problem the state needs to solve it. You can't expect the Bank of England or individual citizens to put right things that were messed up by incompetent government interventions.
RT @RichardJMurphy: No one on the left thinks the state can solve all problems. But we do think it can make a massive difference if managed by those who believe in it. The Tories don’t believe in it. They want a failed state. Th…

@gdeichen It's essential that the privileged leaders from the rich countries actually have to look the people they're displacing in the eye and say why they didn't act in time. Let them travel to the place where the devastation is worst. Let them go the slow way. Let them take the train.

What COP 27 most needs is to be affordable for young people, activists and representatives from the global South. The prices are easy for those already enriched by extracting resources from the poorer nations. But they MUST meet the victims face to face.
