Democratic?
They're demagogues and charlatans

Lest We Forget.
As politicians and media propagandise this weekend about those who made the 'ultimate sacrifice' for 'our freedom' a reminder that many who fought in the trenches thought they had been used as pawns by our rulers:
Sunak to ‘double down’ on anti-green law in kings speech
a) historically irresponsible
b) economically illiterate
c) misleading if it supposes it helps with energy security
d) not aligned with mainstream opinion so about a ‘core vote’ strategy

"Are you talking about erasing a people?"
@krishgm asks the Israeli Ambassador to the UK how it is possible to "erase Hamas" without causing "massive civilian casualties".
As the ground & air offensive intensifies, #Gaza has lost contact with the outside world. Oxfam is extremely alarmed about the escalation and the total loss of communication with Gaza. Wars have rules.

It's official- #fossilfuels are over. But African countries are still being pressured into disastrous gas projects instead of a just transition. @vanessa_vash & the youth movement will demand #RenewablesNow at #COP28. https://t.co/Ixau5gsodd via @guardian#EndFossilFuels

Removing your key net zero policies is removing the commitment to net zero itself. The government is not on track to meet net zero with these policies, never mind without them.
People and planet want and need a strong to commitment to net zero - this is nonsensical from the government.

@elonmusk I'm very much a real human.
If you charge any fee to use X / Twitter, I'm done.
The algorithms have already ruined my experience so I barely visit. A charge will be the final straw.

@p_thursty @barton71@jonburkeUK Fair enough to believe that (but not what you originally said).
We all must also bear in mind that there are huge industries with vested interests in making ULEZ unpopular as it undermines their businesses (oil and gas etc) especially switching to bikes & buses.
@barton71@jonburkeUK The real scandal is people dying from polluted air and how long it has taken to tackle it.
One persons infringement is another persons freedom (or life).
FUN FACT: Since the expansion of ULEZ in 2021, harmful pollution levels have fallen - in some areas by almost 50%. 4 MILLION Londoners are now breathing cleaner air.
The government must do more to help drivers on lower incomes transition to greener vehicles.
I have come to the BRICS Summit with a simple message: in a fracturing world overwhelmed by crises, there is simply no alternative to cooperation.
As we move towards a multipolar world, we must urgently restore trust & reinvigorate multilateralism for the 21st century.
You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences.
Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022.
The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.
