Wanting: action on climate change; reform of the NHS & health services; introduction of Personal Basic Income; inequality and indebtedness dealt with.

Yesterday was #EarthDay yet #ClimateChange was barely mentioned in #UKelection by the political parties. Not even the #Greens - shame on u

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@johnsweeneyroar @ZackPolanski I agree, this along with a lot of their economics is why I am never likely to vote Green and in spite of working closely with them in Newbury could never join their party. They should stick to a few core messages to gain the popular vote but Zack has raised their profile

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

The EU is proposing to impose a climate levy on all imports that are heavily reliant on fossil fuels and the Netherlands & Columbia are to start a new group for highly ambitious nations that wish to tackle climate change without the need for consensus of the fossil fuel addicts

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

The failure of COP30 simply acknowledges the real world: there is no consensus on how to tackle climate change or indeed whether climate change needs to be tackled. However out of this failure there is an opportunity: 1of2

It would appear that Trump is doing Putin's dirty work for him. Exactly what is in it for America or Trump that he seeks to impose surrender terms on Ukraine? @POTUS needs to grow a pair and get tough with Putin with the threat of military intervention. https://t.co/RvsaerWd44

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@AllisonPearson You could argue the same about Trump's impending Presidency. Bond Market movements are mirrored over there. Why try to make this a UK only story when clearly global factors are in play?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

Why's @elonmusk meddling in European politics? Wouldn't his time and money be better spent solving the problems of his home nation of South Africa? As it is we need a major re-think of media outlets and what constitutes a free press.

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

Remarkable, @trussliz, supposed advocate of free speech takes a swing at the only media outlets that are independent as opposed to those owned by oligarchs. How free does she want our press? https://t.co/nps8JvDMol

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@piersmorgan So you don't distinguish between Louise Haig doing something when not even an MP and Boris Johnson who had just made the law he broke whilst in office?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@sophielouisecc What's the argument, that Greta Thunberg is responsible for our decline? That we should be ignoring the need to move away from fossil fuels? Or that we get the Governments we deserve through our electoral choices?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@piersmorgan Are you being deliberately naive? It is one thing breaking laws whilst in office, quite another to have what appears to be a minor misdemeanour while not in office to then come and haunt you when in office. Do we no longer believe in redemption?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@Jenny_1884 Well that's odd you've got two flags in your profile

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@kelvmackenzie I assume you are being ironic

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@AllisonPearson Allison, have you yet apologised for retweeting a post that was inaccurate and to which you added defamatory remarks? Merely deleting it is not good enough. Until you take that step your defence of free speech is wanting.

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@darrengrimes You always seem to be decrying any initiatives to get us off our reliance on fossil fuels. Are you a denier that we need to take action? If not what are your constructive alternatives?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@RhonddaBryant I'm not sure we can claim to be a fully fledged democracy even today...

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@StAustellAdam @RhonddaBryant Not sure of your maths, what is significant about the date 1024?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@RachelReevesMP argues she had no choice in the budget, but it's not true. The issue is she and Starmer allowed themselves to fall into the Tory trap of matching their commitments which they freely gave knowing the election was lost https://t.co/ByehEB7DNx

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

I’m finally leaving this platform and migrating to BlueSky @PeterMNorman. For those interested see you there

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

@BBCPM how much are the current world conflicts contributing to the world’s temperature rises?

[Peter Norman @PeterMNorman]

If this story is true then once again developers will have won and the environmental can kicked yet again down the road ⁦@Ed_Miliband⁩. At some point houses have to be built that are fit for purpose, if not now, when? https://t.co/I3bltxv4tc
