RT @AlPinkerton: Every single Conservative MP stood on this commitment to maintain the #fracking ban in the @Conservatives 2019 manifesto. Perhaps they didn’t read it? Perhaps some didn’t understand it? And yet, here it is, in black and white. P.55. #frackingvote

RT @MirrorPolitics: "45p tax cut - gone. Corporation tax cut - gone. 20p tax cut - gone. Two year energy freeze - gone. Tax-free shopping - gone. Economic credibility - gone."

RT @CSkidmoreUK: As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election.
I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision.

RT @Feargal_Sharkey: So there you have it. Government are ordering MPs to vote in favour of fracking this afternoon or else.
You have a few hours left to contact your local MP.

Suella Braverman resigns. Ioneravle, perhaps, but that doesn’t make her happy ine of the good guys.
Just listen to this from yesterday:
RT @Nick_Pettigrew: Once you get past the circus & the shouting you’re left with the fact that the serving Home Secretary uses phrases like “Guardian reading, tofu eating wokerati”. Somebody who holds one of the highest positions of state & talks like Alex Jones.

WATCH THIS: Fascinating documentary from @JacquesPeretti, Mike Radford and Dermot Caulfield.
A little old, now, but many wise words, including why #trickledown does not work.

RT @mac_puck: Because it was always utter nonsense. Trickledown doesn't work. Sovereignty in an interconnected world is a mirage.
And the cold-eyed financial markets could see in 10 seconds flat what had been invisible to all the IEA/ERG fantasists for 50 years.

Results of latest BSA survey on electoral reform.
Prof John Curtice writes: … in a hung parliament in which @UKLabour & the @LibDems might seek an agreement… a commitment to … electoral reform would likely be popular with supporters of both parties’.

For the first time since the survey started in 1983, British Social Attitudes data shows a majority in favour of electoral reform, after a tiny number of Conservatives have put a dangerous idealogue into Number 10 with no meaningful mandate. https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/long-running-survey-finds-majority-support-for-proportional-representation/

RT @dunlin57: 🧵Nothing - for tea last night beans on toast and Mummy was crying.
The school fed him & have arranged a food bank delivery.
Children going to school hungry?
Hunger & poverty does not only occur in poorer areas.
How many other children are in similar situations?
So so scary.
