Did you know there's part of the UK energy system that's:
9 x bigger than Good Energy ⚡
4.5 x bigger than Ecotricity 💚
1/3 bigger than Octopus... 🐙

And nobody talks about it?

It's called...
Community Energy!

It's very likely, the modern society, people in the rich countries are used to, will no longer exist in 25 years time. It will be a miracle, if it still exists, and may have ceased to exist some time in 25 years. If by some miracle it still existed, it wouldn't be for long.

Horrendous. If you’re trans and in the UK, or simply support the trans community during this nightmare time, here’s FIVE things I’d recommend right now. Can’t believe this country or our PM. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer

🏆 Last month, alongside @CooperativeBank, we celebrated three brilliant #coops doing inspiring work to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

👩‍💼👨‍💼 Community owned and run organisation @CoalvilleCANCBS supports young people into employment
🫶🍰 Community space in Oxford, @flosoxford, focuses on the well-being of the local community
🛠🛒 York Supplies Community Society Ltd used the co-operative model to save and democratically run a much loved community business

The awards were handed out at a celebration during the #CoopRetail Conference Gala Dinner, sponsored by The Co-operative Bank. Each organisation has previously received support through the Business Support for Co-ops programme, delivered by Co-operatives UK in partnership with The Co-operative Bank.

Memo to No. 10. Stop describing being disabled or chronically ill and unable to work as a life of “inactivity.”

I’d wager a benefit claimant coping with pain and fatigue puts in more effort to make lunch than most cabinet ministers do at work in a week.
