Political Wail

Emitting a prolonged high-pitched cry of pain, grief and anger at modern politics, shadowy 'Think Tanks' and politicians ignoring environmental destruction.

🔴POST OFFICE SCANDAL

Former Fujitsu boss ADMITS 4 meetings with Post Office CEO Paula Vennells & Horizon was discussed

Previously, he said there was one meeting with no discussion of Horizon.

Will truth emerge? After 25 yrs of injustice, still no one charged.

I was talking to someone today who STILL is against taking action on climate change because of the cost. Can people not get it through their thick heads - we are going to lose EVERYTHING

Tom Tugendhat, "The truth is, what we've seen time and time and time again, is that when Labour comes in, debt goes up"

2010: UK national debt £1 trillion

2024: UK national debt £2.6 trillion

Over 14 years the Conservative party more than doubled national debt

Thames Water will enter insolvency next week as it is delisted by the Banks and will be unable to borrow any more money.

Its debts don't need to be paid and they shouldn't be, the infrastructure belongs to you still.

Let them go bust and takeover for nothing.

Some $2Tn is set to be invested in clean energy in 2024 - the latest edition of the IEA’s annual World Energy Investment report. https://t.co/1xHZnnry8e Yet, UK oil companies are failing to invest in UK clean energy. Three-quarters of UK offshore oil & gas companies plan to invest solely in continued fossil fuel production up to 2040, according to data compiled by the analyst company Rystad. This is despite the oil co. adverts & greenwashing to the contrary.

They lock up the heroes and reward the villains. As the climate emergency bites, everything is wrong with our response.

Big Oil won’t invest in clean energy because you can make huge monopolistic profits from scarce fossil reserves but can’t from abundant #windwatersolar.
The solution: end fossil fuel subsidies & put a very big tax on profits from oil & gas.

“When maximum sentence for chaining yourself to railings is more than twice maximum sentence for racially aggravated assault, anyone who cares about justice should be appalled”. Spot on ⁦@GeorgeMonbiot⁩ - Labour should repeal these draconian laws now👇 https://t.co/QbhnVPrF1F

Energy Prices up at least 13% in UK.
Down 10% in France.
Down 6% in Australia.
Down 4% in the USA.

Ofgem are enabling the Energy Companies theft.

The Endgame.

Thames Water could be blocked by creditors from new debt financing next week.

Rather than letting it collapse and nationalizing at low cost, govt is looking for "private market solution”.

That's what created mess in the first place.

Repeat after me:

We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis.
We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis.
We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis.
We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Well, well, well.
Out of touch Tory multimillionaire, Jeremy Hunt, says the Liz Truss budget is "ancient history".
It's not ancient history for people impoverished by their mortgage payments trebling in price because of it.

Stupid, entitled pillock.

It’s more important than ever to know exactly who Farage is 👇

The Lie - The ECHR is a foreign court.

The Truth - The ECHR is a document that the UK wrote and signed after WW2 to prevent Genocide, Slavery and Fascism in Europe.

You should suspect that the people who want to undo it want those very things.

It certainly looks like it.

Our planet is warming faster than ever!
The ground absorbs warmth from the sun. As it gives off that heat back to the atmosphere greenhouse gases in air are heated. This warms our planet causing global warming.
GHGs are long-lived & accumulate in our atmosphere. The effect is cumulative - as is the resulting global warming.
'CO2e' is the equivalent warming effect of all the GHGs in our atmosphere [mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other compounds]. The cumulative effect of the warming impact of GHGs in 2023 was CO2e 454ppm. Today's CO2 reading was 418.65 ppm. Our planet is in serious trouble - caused by human action. https://t.co/1PyiHW3Q2n

The Tory Party fell flat on its face. We all laughed with joy at the fall from grace in the eye of the electorate. Now the media are taking a shot at them too. This is what the Telegraph says...
