Witnessed Mick Lynch @RMTunion give the 3 Political Journalists a lesson in Socio Economic reality @BBCNewsPR on their Newscast last night. So good to see a Trade Union Leader so we’ll informed, intelligent and eloquent. He makes the Journalists and Politicians look mediocre !
Our @AdrianRamsay on Truss/Sunak 👉🏾 Both voted for cuts to welfare benefits, against free school meals, & for harsher asylum policies. Both pander to the #fossilfuel lobby & climate sceptics in their own ranks instead of actually addressing the #ClimateCrisis 😠
#VoteGreen ✅💚
@TheLabourParty_ they still don’t understand it was the failure to adequately speak up for ordinary working people in places like Stoke on Trent that led to those people rightly turning their backs on such political failures and betrayal. Ergo the response to the Rail workers
@TheGreenParty Indeed it does and one of the most important is the right to “Privacy” to prevent aggressive and overbearing employers from interfering in your personal life !
It hasn’t sunk in yet but…SOME NEWS.
I am so profoundly grateful & relieved.
Thank you to the judge, my stellar legal team & the 29,000 people who contributed to my legal defence fund. I literally couldn’t have done it without you 🙏🙏🙏

@chrisw100 Congratulations. A political party finally receiving its due recognition in offering genuine, honest and sincere policies to fix a world broken by greed, “organised money” and corruption.
Please stop calling it NHS Test and Trace. Fake branding. The NHS wasn’t involved. It was a hotchpotch of crony contracts with unqualified favored companies like SERCO, Randox, Immensa etc, call centre tracing based on no scientific evidence, +leaders w no public health crediblty
…Instead of listening and implementing testing, the Government asked Dr Jenny Harries to issue statements to reassure worried care home staff ‘it’s safe to accept patients from hospital’.”

Utterly devastating.
“One email dated 22nd March 2020 shows Dr Jenny Harries, now Head of Test and Trace, and officials in the Department for Health, discussing the fact that care homes on the ground did not want to take people from hospital without a negative test…
It was very sad to hear certain representatives play down the severity of the landfill & its health effects, negligently labelling the community’s afflictions as an “annoyance”...
The UK has the highest case rates of COVID-19 in the world. One third of our population is not protected. China has already vaccinated a higher % and through infection control has a death rate of 3 per million. Our death rate is 2028 per million. The govt + advisers are silent.
A heat pump in a poorly insulated home just won't work. It’s like buying a teapot with cracks in it: leaky, inefficient and a waste of money. We need joined-up action on climate change & a *comprehensive*, well-funded home insulation scheme - not token gestures
The 3% pay rise @NHS has soon gone up in smoke in Boris Johnson’s post BREXIT chaotic, inflationary “economic adjustment”. Old Kier Starmer seems to be a little quiet about all of this inside his own little cardboard box world !
THREAD on a quick Covid update (mainly England):
TLDR: two epidemics really - one in under 18s (and their parents) which is bad and getting worse and the other in everyone else which is getting better.
