@AdrianRamsay Sizewell C will not deliver any kind of energy independence anyway. It's foreign owned. It's too expensive to help (other sources are much cheaper and no one wants to pay above market prices for power). Nuclear fuel's imported from Russia. Sea levels are rising. There's no water.

RT @GreenPartyMolly: And here’s what Austerity 2.0 means for public-sector workers

Significant real-terms cuts to pay for those working in services that already have massive rates of vacancies

Piling crisis upon Tory crisis for our public services

RT @GreenPartyMolly: Hunt begins: ‘We are not alone in facing these challenges . . . We are honest about these challenges’

But he isn’t honest because he doesn’t acknowledge the massive damage #Brexit has done to our economy

And that is damage made in Britain and owned by Tories

But he is silent on Sunak’s absurd loophole for oil and gas investment

We need all investment in new oil and gas to end if we can possibly save our climate

RT @GreenPartyMolly: Jeremy Hunt creates myth of ‘fiscal black hole’ of £55bn

Then says he will fill more than half of it by cutting spending

This will worsen crisis in public services and further undermine infrastructure our whole economy depends on

More of the Tory doom spiral

C. Trying to tie the hands of Labour?

RT @GreenPartyJack: Jeremy Hunt doesn’t need to announce Austerity 2.0 today.

Instead, we could raise £70bn by taxing the wealth of the richest 1% of households, and we could implement a proper windfall tax on oil and gas companies.

This could fund a Green New Deal, and a fair and just recovery.

We're proud of welcoming friends from troubled places to #Norwich. We won't tolerate disgusting behaviour from haters targeting hotels where we're sheltering shattered lives. But Tory MPs are stoking hatred *and* telling the haters how to hate. Yuck.

I want my country back 😕

RT @as_penarth: Austerity is not inevitable.
Spending cuts announced today are a political choice.

There is an alternative.
It's time to tax the wealthy, the filthy fossil fuel companies and greedy corporations to pay for the public services we all need and use.

Nonsense statistics on the news today about people "listening to more music". People playing music live at home or on CD or vinyl aren't in those stats.
What you mean is people streamed the music instead of going to a concert, or playing their piano, or hearing live bands. 🙄

Wage rises in the public sector must be fully funded. We don't have to have further cuts. Good services and decent wages lead to a strong economy. No one need live in poverty or wait for treatment. Political choices destroyed what we had. Tories fund only the polluting rich.

RT @greenmattbfd: Today is the #AutumnStatement.

It's a chance for Jeremy Hunt to really tackle the deficit, the #ClimateCrisis and rethink how we get around

🚗 Ditch wasteful road building schemes
✈️ Introduce a fuel tax on #aviation
⛽ Not renewing fuel duty cuts
🚌 Invest in bus services

Good news if benefits are to rise with inflation, BUT, if public sector wages don't, you're going to make it unaffordable to work and better to be out of work. Unless wages rise and transport to work is affordable, we'll have further breakdown of public services.

RT @andyverity: If those profits are invested in things we all need like renewable energy, that can be helpful eg to net zero. But vast sums - tens of billions - have gone straight to shareholders via share buybacks - an indicator that companies have more money than they know how to invest.
