Furious. Proud to be ‘WOKE’ We are all one - even though that can often feel impossible when so much divides us. Refuge is nature

Took this photo as was going past protest in Westminster on a bus. These people were all arrested later, also amount of hate these people receive is totally disproportionate. Just Stop Oil are campaigning to prevent any new oil gas happening in UK, that’s it and they are right.

Today we kickstarted a new revolution - with the launch of an electric airline. Yes, actual passenger carrying planes powered by electricity.

Our electricity will be made from the wind and sun, green electricity powering emission-free flying. It’s a world-first and vital last step in the electrification of transport - enabling carbon-free living without compromise.

It doesn’t get much better than that. Have a look at the piece from the @guardian here: https://t.co/4L6t7W46Vq

@RupertLowe10 It’s so depressing seeing someone who seemed to be intelligent and thoughtful jumping on right wing bandwagons using words like ‘woke’ which are meaningless but flung around as terms of abuse.

Please stop - this quality of ‘debate’ gets us nowhere. At all.

@RupertLowe10 Want to define a “pointless degree”.
Mine was in law - ended up being pointless FOR ME. And there’s the rub.

Nothing that I can really divulge at the moment about the Covid-19 Inquiry but...

Here are a few of my personal observations and opinions thus far.

1/ I think we can safely say the British government never really had a plan to try and save people’s lives in a pandemic.

2/ UK politicians and it’s scientific advisors don’t make great good bedfellows.

3/ Oh yeah! Westminster also hung the Welsh out to dry by not funding them or providing much practical support during the pandemic.

4/ The UK Government were more concerned with it’s disastrous “No Deal Brexit” and “Operation Yellow Hammer” than it was the UK’s pandemic planning strategy.

5/ UK government then subsequently reallocated resources to such failures such as Brexit instead of focusing on a more robust pandemic and public health plans.

6/ Government had never considered the fact a respiratory virus can be airborne and become a pandemic from what I can gather. 🙄

7/ It was more a plan of what do we do with all those dead bodies when a pandemic does emerges.

8/ The UK Governments strategy for pandemic preparedness was never proactive and was inadequately reactive.

9/ The precautionary approach was not used or even considered.

10/ Has UK pandemic response plans improved yet and have they learned lessons yet?

Well that’s a hard NO from me!

11/ Expect much more ‘group think’ from Tory politicians as a way to blame share and dodge any of their actual personal accountability and justice in the future.

12/ Most of the actual decisions continue to be motivated by economic concerns above people’s public safety and wellbeing.

13/ The Tory government will claiming Brexit helped with the UK Governments reactionary pandemic response. Something that is simple and clearly Tory gaslighting

14/ Austerity started killing people and our #NHS long before the pandemic ever came to these shores but it sure did highlight the systemic inequalities.

15/ The Tory Party are utter scumbags who have a problem with their own judicial system.

Obviously more will come out in the Covid-19 Inquiry in the following days, week’s, months and years.

@simonhancock_uk @ChrisMidgley20 @Stillteaches @AndyGJBurge @UKLabour It would achieve something - and also mark a massive shit in emphasis

[Alison #FBPE 3.5% 💙💛 @AlisonJBrett]

@simonhancock_uk @Stillteaches @AndyGJBurge @ChrisMidgley20 @UKLabour I could not disagree more. This is much more than optics - it’s about where the priorities lie - our priorities. Subsidising private education or giving that £ to our state schools.

The @OBR_UK assessment of the sustainability of the UK government's debt is off-the-charts alarming. It paints a picture of shocking Treasury incompetence over the past fifteen years in managing the debt burden - which has left the UK's public finances much more exposed to rising inflation than any other comparable country. For example 1) QE has turned a third of government liabilities into overnight debt at floating rates, 2) the UK has borrowed twice as much in the form of inflation-linked bonds than any other government, and 3) the proportion of government bonds in flighty foreign hands is the second highest among G7 rich nations. One immediate consequence is that what the government pays to borrow - the yield on ten-year debt or gilts - has risen by 2 percentage points, compared with a G7 average of just 0.5 percentage points over the past 12 months. In the OBR's words, "the rise in global interest rates has fed through to the UK's debt servicing costs more than twice as fast as in the past or elsewhere". And we have the wrong kind of inflation, in the sense that compared with other countries, nominal GDP or national income isn't rising fast enough to offset the increase in the nominal debt burden, and wages aren't rising fast enough to generate additional tax revenues. As the OBR says, UK general government debt is forecast to rise by 3.1 per cent of GDP this year, compared with average falls of 1.8% in other European countries. So the obsession of Hunt and Sunak with defeating inflation is understandable - because in the absence of any significant fall in inflation, there is a risk that investors will shun UK government debt and interest rates for the government and for all of us would then rise to crippling levels. This parlous debt backdrop explains why the Bank of England and the Treasury are prepared to risk recession to bring down inflation. It is what you need to know ahead of the imminent announcement of how the government will fund pay rises for teachers, nurses and other public servants.
