Trump is accelerating climate change. A fool. A puppet of the oil companies. He won't rest until humanity and the rest of nature is dead. #BoycottTrump #BoycottUSA

This is really why they want to cancel NOAA. They want all talk of Climate Change shut down. I hate the disrespect and snide remarks this guy gets, just for going above and beyond his job as a Meteorologist. Thank you Chief Meteorologist Gary Stephenson, for sharing the warnings of Climate Change

Voters want govt to build social housing, not more expensive private homes only the richest can afford. Yet the Planning & Infrastructure Bill has no binding social housing targets, effectively handing developers a free pass to build luxury homes and line their own pockets.

Labour's inability to fill the black hole in Government finances and redress regional inequalities is down to two main things: 1/ An inexplicable refusal to tax the super-rich (over £10 million wealth) fairly. 2/ A failure to reform the Council Tax system set up in 1991. They are still running away.

Nuclear weapons make the world more dangerous. But Labour plans to spend £15bn on new nuclear warheads: weapons that must never be used, and that should be as unacceptable as biological and chemical weapons. The govt should invest in real security instead. #SDR

Nigel Farage wants attention for saying he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Nigel Farage seems confused about @greenparty.org.uk wealth tax. It’s a tax on assets over £10 million - not “virtually everybody.” The fact he thinks that will bother everyone exposes just how out of touch this millionaire mouthpiece for billionaire fossil fuel donors really is.

Israel has said it will create 22 new illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank in order to "prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state..." The Israeli government's blatant ethnic cleansing cannot be condoned. The UK government must recognise the state of Palestine.

Energy bills will fall by 7% in July, according to Ofgem. But this price drop will barely scratch the surface for many struggling to pay their bills. The way to reduce bills sustainably is to break the link between our energy bills and the volatile gas market!

"Last week, it was revealed that the Labour government had licensed exports of more military equipment to Israel than the Tories did for all of 2020-2023 combined. These figures, downplayed by Lammy in Parliament as “clickbait,” were drawn from the government’s own strategic arms export data."
