@andyburnham What a great start, Andy. 😊

However, the wealthy, high and middle earners can afford VAT on electricity.
I would suggest means testing this benefit.

@KemiBadenoch Narrow minded, ignorant lies and misinformation from this Tory.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News He should act and fast.
1. Build more solar and wind
2. Net zero public transport, homes and public buildings.
3. High taxes for flights, meat, dairy.
4. Large subsidies for EVs.
5. Climate mitigation measures- build more reservoirs, lakes, ponds; more nature reserves; etc

@mbga_uk Is there no end to the stupidity of climate deniers?

Here are the facts.

Hot, dry weather caused by climate change.

Human error or malicious intent sets off a fire and the hot, dry conditions spreads the fire into an uncontrollable blaze.

@sweskjaldmaer I agree. Argentina is a racist country.
They exterminated their indigenous people and have an obsession with being European.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@GBNEWS Farage is so wrong to take a testosterone fuelled, populist jibe.

The right thing to do would be to call for a ban on the Argentinian football team.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@SkyNews Poor blind Argentinians for believing the lies that Milei spouts about the Malvinas.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@AliceTalksFooty The fans are pretty ugly too.
They are still on about the Falklands!

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@SkyNews A ballet of fouls rather than football.

Makes for very poor viewing.

Machismo and testosterone fuelled aggression has spoilt men’s football.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News Clearly, the French are not served up the same BS as the British about the government not being able to afford climate mitigations.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News Air conditioning schools may be a quick but wrong response. Air cons increase the exterior temperature by up to 10 degrees.

Better long term solution is adapting buildings. See 👇

@Channel4News The fiscal rules protect bond holders who mistakenly think public spending causes high inflation.
When is the UK government going to do the right thing for this country and invest properly in public services?

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News She’s trying to sell greater electricity use so the industry she supports can profit more.
Air conditioning is not the solution. It just pushes more heat into the atmosphere.
Using more energy is not the answer.
We need to use natural ways of cooling down our homes.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News This report is useful but feels like splitting hairs.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News Yes. He’s just doing a diplomats job.
A diplomat or ambassador would be expected to pay taxes, why not King Charles?

Being royal shouldn’t mean he gets away without paying his dues.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News I think the reason for the large turnover in prime ministers is 2 fold:

Voters are better informed on political corruption due to growing social media use;

Cost of living, social inequality and environmental crises have not been resolved.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@SkyNews A tragedy for us. More oil and gas means more climate disasters and higher prices for food.

Cost of living will worsen.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@BBCBreakfast A tragedy for us. More oil and gas means more climate disasters and higher prices for food.

Cost of living will worsen.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Conservatives @KemiBadenoch @DLumsden_MP A tragedy for us. More oil and gas means more climate disasters and higher prices for food.

Cost of living will worsen.

[Living earth @Campaignforjus1]

@Channel4News Your news coverage didn’t really get to the bottom of why.

Why was defence spending reduced?

Why was it backloaded?

I know how government spending works but a majority of your viewers might not.

Why not explain this instead of focusing on it as a blow to Starmer?
