The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

The £3.9bn Rachel Reeves announced last week for carbon capture and storage is a downpayment on a £21.7bn scam that will fuel climate chaos, says @GeorgeMonbiot:

Craziest housing stat of the week: The state spends MORE today on housing than it did in 1976.

The key difference: we used to build council houses, now we spend it on subsidising private landlords.

Our housing system is completely broken.

Must watch explanation on clean energy by @g__j on #BBCQT - also watch Tim Stanley squirm repeatedly when Jackson gives answers

Greg Jackson, "We've crossed the rubicon.. Clean energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels"

"Power from wind and solar is cheaper than power from fossil fuels"

"Consumers don't see the benefits because our markets are run in the old traditional way"

"We need market reform so when we build wind farms, people get cheaper energy"

"It doesn't help that we are paying wind farms to turn off when it's windy, instead of giving people cheap power at those times"

"59% of all of the renewable energy has been built in China"

Fiona Bruce, "They're also building huge coal plants"

Greg Jackson, "The majority will never be used, they'll be mothballed"

"Why are they building green energy? It's not because they're nice people. Now they recognise clean energy is cheaper, and energy is the engine of growth for their industry, they're investing in it"

"Six or seven years ago if you went to Chinese cities people wore face mask because of air pollution.. That's gone"

Tim Stanley, "If you have a period where the wind dies and the sun doesn't shine, what happens, you have to rely on back up.. Rely on gas.. Import the power from overseas"

Greg Jackson, "Allow me to help you with this answer.. As somebody who buys more power than anybody in the UK.. I can give you an authoritative answer on what to do"

"An electric car holds enough power in its battery for a typical house in the best part of the week"

"As more and more electric cars hit our roads, we have distributed storage of electricity, days on end, without wind"

"It's not the whole solution but it's a big part of it.. And it helps us reduce our reliance on things like those fossil fuel backups"

"It's always windy somewhere, it's always sunny somewhere.. As we connect our country to others.. When they're windy we get their power, when we're windy we sell ours to them"

"By the way, we are one of the windiest places in the world.. This is a huge export opportunity for the UK"

Rachel Reeves really is a very big threat to the well-being of this country https://t.co/YneTCgm16Z Rachel Reeves was recklessly irresponsible in her Mansion House speech last night, not only by increasing the risk of a financial crash, but also by ignoring the duty of local authority pension funds to their members - which they are more than ably fulfilling at present, and which she threatens. We could do without her indifference to real people and their needs.

Burning on grouse moors today.

So that there are optimal conditions for young grouse who are then blasted out of the sky for ‘fun’

What a sad world we live in.

[Philipp Heimberger @heimbergecon]

Trump announced that Elon Musk will lead a new department to cut government spending.

Looking at government subsidies for Musk's companies, we can be pretty sure where he will *not* be cutting.

The conflict of interest is mind-boggling.

[Max Burns @themaxburns]

Very kind of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to become government officials while remaining in their executive roles at companies that either do business with or have regulatory conflicts with the government.

George Monbiot: “I’m not going to take lessons in climate from someone from Policy Exchange which is funded by the oil industry”

David Goodhart (Policy Exchange): “It isn’t”

GM: “I can demonstrate that it is”

DG: “Anyway, that’s not what we’re here to discuss”

[Holte 🇪🇺 @holte]

George Monbiot on #PoliticsLive absolutly tearing Suella Bravermans claim the world is safer under Trump

"To me Braverman is a fake patriot, who the moment a demagogue arrives prostrates herself"

From Putin to nuclear threats, It's well worth 60 seconds of your day

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Invest in infrastructure, retrofit housing, and prepare for the climate disasters that are around the corner.

Support local government, invest in communities, and boost the cooperative movement.

Give people access to nature, to time, to the things that make life worth living.

[Grace Blakeley @graceblakeley]

Invest in healthcare, education, social care, and all the other services that people rely on every day.

Support the labour movement and strengthen workers rights so they have the dignity of being able to bargain for higher wages.

[Grace Blakeley @graceblakeley]

It’s still possible to make people’s lives better, but not through tax cuts for the rich and investment incentives for big business.

Politicians have to stop talking about boosting ‘the economy’, and start talking about supporting the people who make the economy go round.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

In Trump's heart there is no curiosity, no wonder, no kindness, no compassion, no lightness of spirit; only ego, rage, resentment, impulsiveness and cruelty.
You are better than him. He does not deserve your vote.

The top 1% of wealth hoarders in Britain have:

£3,000,000,000,000 🤑

That's why your uni fees are going up ⬆️

That's why you've lost your winter fuel payment ❄️

That's why your pay goes down each year 📉

That's why bills are going up 📈
