Orwellian Surveillance:

UK Govt getting powers to monitor bank accounts of 22.4m people.

No court order needed, you won't be told.

Govt says this is to prevent benefit fraud.

The same won't apply to tax dodgers, bankers, money launderers, politicians.

Jenny Jones, "Look at the government's plans to actually spy on the bank accounts of those receiving benefits... It really is a new low in this government's constant vile behaviour"

"Never in our history has the government intruded on the privacy of anyone's bank account without any good reason. And now we're treating all people on benefits as potential criminals"

"If MPs think this is a good idea, then why don't we ask them to go first? With all the cases of corruption, second jobs and undeclared incomes, would MPs be ok if the banks had the ability to raise red flags on their accounts? That does seem to make sense doesn't it? Just test the system before we use it on other people"

A complete media blackout on this at the moment. Not a single report anywhere on a vote next week that could stop the government robbing millions of workers of their right to strike. If UK media can’t get the job done let’s do it ourselves. Please RT

In September the Prime Minister and his Government announced delays for key climate commitments , tearing up plans to tackle vehicle emissions & phase out gas boilers .

Today I can announce I'm taking them to the High Court – but I need your help .

Shocking. Raw sewage at Windermere & in rivers yet water company bosses still get bonus because whistleblowers say Environment Agency systematically covers up severity of sewage spills. We urgently need criminal investigation & water back in public hands https://t.co/4UTr2IeVyL

Why is this not front page news? The sneaky bastards.

"It says much about Hopkins' brilliance that almost 30 years after his death, Treen can draw contributions from a huge range of collaborators and accomplices who want to pay tribute to a musician who did so much to embellish, inform and elevate their music. As well as perspectives from @officialKeef and @bill_wyman plus an archive chat with @MickJagger, there's @davedavieskinks, Pete Townshend, @ShelTalmy, Glyn Johns, @nilslofgren, Jim Keltner, @peterframpton, @ItsGrahamParker and @PPArnold1." #NickyHopkins

Granting dozens of new fossil fuel licences is a climate crime. Much of this oil & gas will be sold on global markets - so it won’t improve energy security or cut bills. Govt yet again flying in the face of climate science & jeopardising a liveable planet

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I’m at Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane, where Big Oil is meeting with Big Finance to help fund climate crimes like #Rosebank oil field. New fossil fuels won’t cut energy bills or deliver energy security, but they will wreck our planet. We say not in our name.

I condemn brutal Hamas attacks. I also fear Israel's response risks driving deadly cycle of violence further. PM says he's straining every sinew to keep peace alive - so will he listen to UN experts calling for ceasefire & renew global effort towards 2 legally recognised states?

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Yes Rishi Sunak - "Westminster is a broken system". And your party broke it. The lies, the rule-breaking, the utter demolition of standards in public life. But you're certainly not the person to fix it. #CPC23

[SHARKSINACAR @sharksinacar]

Those lucky enough to see previews of Not A Rock-Doc have all been fascinated by the few brief glimpses of Busta Cherry Jones in action. This Slippery People podcast contains everything you need to know about the glittering man from Memphis.
