The green industrial revolution is full of opportunities: lower bills, warmer homes, well-paid jobs, and stronger energy security. We need to ramp up investment in renewables and ensure that the transition to net zero is a just one, where no one is left behind.

As someone working to steer Bristol towards a sustainable future, I know how vital it is to have strong Green leadership across our region. @mayorslayer.bsky.social is the @greenparty.org.uk candidate for WECA Mayor, and she has the high ambition for climate action that our region desperately needs.

A lesson from Canada Governments that stand up against Trump & the fascism he represents are popular. Governments that massage his fragile ego & offer him State visits aren't. If Labour had stood up to Trump they could have shown Reform up for the Trump puppets they are. Too late now though!

Britain's gas-fired power stations should be nationalised according to @cmmonwealth.bsky.social In January almost £18m was paid to two power plants to run for a few hours during a cold snap. The only way to stop bill payers being rinsed again and again is to bring power into public hands.

A number of Tory peers and ministers appear used the Covid crisis as an opportunity to funnel enormous sums of money to corporate cronies. So far they have faced virtually no consequences.

Today in the Lords ... A long slog on the Renters' Rights Bill, with Peers trying to fill gaps in the legislation. The Bill was hastily written, quite skeletal, which the Lords never like. It puts too much power into the hands of the Sec of State, who can later decide on anything not in the Bill.

The FBI is now arresting judges. In 1933 the Nazis arrested Fritz Bauer, a young Jewish judge who had caused them problems. He was released after 9 months in a concentration camp & fled Germany. After the war he returned & played a part in prosecuting the perpetrators of the Holocaust.

This bill is disaster for all the hard working nature groups who toil to improve the environment. It takes away tools they need to scrutinise and question developments. This is bad law enacted with the same amount of forethought that went into the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Trump's "deal" on Ukraine is being compared to the infamous Munich agreement. It's more like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that carved up Poland between Stalin & Hitler. For all his faults, Chamberlain had no plans to loot what remained of Czechoslovakia or cement fraternal relations with the Nazis.
