Dear Government...

Top 5 (realistic) policy suggestions:

1. Bring in a tiny 2% wealth tax (= £24bn)
2. Invest that in NHS, Schools and Rewilding
3. And avoid welfare cuts for the worst off
4. Get growth via investing in green economy (grew 10% last year)
5. End arms sales to Israel - because it’s immoral.

What did I miss?

[Roger Harrabin @RHarrabin]

So @RachelReeves says growth Trumps the environment. Will that still be so after 2° of warming? What about 3? What about four Celsius warming? What about when the Earth becomes utterly uninhabitable? Will we still be chasing growth? Wise up

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

I want to vomit every time I hear someone from our goverment saying we are going to be world leaders in AI.

What a crock of dangerous BS.

What about being world leaders in looking after our landscapes and nature, looking after our people, looking after our health and our diet?

[Just Stop Oil @JustStop_Oil]

Politicians did this.
Billionaires did this.
Fossil fuel executives did this.

While students, grandmothers and doctors are imprisoned in the UK for trying to prevent it.

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

Fossil fuel capitalists have been deliberately killing us for half a century & governments gift them $TRILLIONS in subsidies every year.

And now a wannabe-dictator-president plans to steal Greenland & drill drill drill.

January 2025 is showing us exactly where we’re heading.

“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Trump wins and this is the price that will be paid

- Action on climate
- Decency in public life
- The rule of law
- Women’s right to choose

A dark day for democratic values & the environment

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
