Yep and this is why, with other reasons, carbon capture and storage and hydrogen might, and I use might specifically here, lower carbon emissions but they certainly won't lower energy prices.

Sad thing is we would not have to care what the weirdo Tory leader thinks, if the crappy Labour Party was not trying to resurrect the Tories via gross incompetence and Democrat level political stupidity.

Yep all the fossil ghouls have to get to COP to make sure nobody gets in the way of ecocide. Then go play golf or do what rich dudes do.

Government says civil servants not 'match fit' for what country needs now, so will be paid on performance and encouraged to leave job if under performing. Is this going to apply to either Starmer or Reeves both of whom it would be polite to describe as underperforming? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Knowing who and what BP is - an evil empire built on colonisation and dispossession - like Shell - would lead anyone who cares about justice and the web of life, to oppose these ecocidal entities however they can.

Yep cosying up to proto fascists is wrong morally - or else why does this silly country still go on about WW2? And it is stupid - the fascists will still think Labour and Keith are the liberal idiots they are and hate them for it, even as Labour dances to the fascist tune.

Necropolice at it in UK - we need more bombs and guns not hospitals functioning and a liveable environment www.theguardian.com/politics/202... The army should shut up and follow their precious chain of command not be bitching about limits to their murderous toys.

The UK 'government' is like all other neoliberal states not taking the climate and ecological crisis seriously. As such we should not take them seriously either. We need a real democracy now not these corporate drones, spouting about AI and growth.

Delaying the Climate & Nature Bill vote to July will do nothing to slow down the #NatureCrisis or stall the breakdown of climate. Urgent action is needed from our leaders to truly safeguard our futures. We're more determined than ever in the fight for true protection of #ocean and planet. 🌊🌎

The even worse thing about this is the conditions for the war of independence - how the evil empire emerges - were created on the coasts by slaves, indigenous people and sailors who were most impacted by Britain's taxes. Slave owning elites like Jefferson use this rebellion set up the USA.

Yeah I mean, water, energy, train privatisation all went swimmingly, for the 1% who benefited from under priced assets and land attached to said assets that they then sold off. The rest of us have become the rentier's farm animals to milk.

Very stupid article from the BBC - it says CIA claim likely Covid came from lab leak in China (in headline) then in text says CIA has low confidence in this. So, let's not learn from the experience, or how to think, that would be silly, no we can point fingers instead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Justice is not a descriptive endeavour, and the climate and ecological crises is THE justice question. Time to choose justice or the MAN and his machine. We must evidence our positions and can do as evidence is on our side. But capital uses stories about who we are - we need to counter this

This is why the Chancellor should be immediately replaced, by a plant pot if they can't find anyone, as this would do less harm. The economy exists within and depends upon the environment. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As with energy - EDF - with water we have nationalisation just not this stupid country. Privatisation has been robbery plain and simple - this is our shit and we should take it back.

I would go further - no political donations with equal, limited state funding for elections - take the money out of politics.

The 'Labour' Party backs multinational corps who 'own' our water. Bullshit This is a failure of democracy. 82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision. Now we’re stuck with corporate extraction. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/d...
