"It is for Congress to declare war, but Trump is using wartime laws like the AEA anyway. And it is for Congress to regulate trade, but Trump is conducting international trade policy by himself. There are checks and balances and a separation of powers to stop this. They are simply not being used."🎯

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Under Proportional Representation, if a party wins 25% of the vote, it gets roughly 25% of the seats. Under First Past the Post, it could translate to 50% of all seats, or 5%, or pretty much any other number. ...But people still keep telling us that PR is "too complicated".

I want more onshore wind farms all over the UK, I’ve campaigned for them my whole life. I would even like a wind turbine in our garden but planning wouldn’t allow it! Peat is a natural carbon store making it a really silly place to put turbines.
