SHOCKING: The CEO of British Gas owner Centrica secured a pay packet of £8.2 MILLION last year.
This is a direct transfer of wealth from the MILLIONS who can’t afford their energy bills to energy boss pockets.
How on EARTH is that fair?
FUN FACT: Since 2020, the five RICHEST people in the world DOUBLED their wealth, while 60% of the population got POORER.
Wealth taxes could raise funds to make people’s lives better - time to tax the super rich?
This is part of a vital 4km habitat that @NetworkRailEC plan to destroy (21ft+) from June in nesting season.
This green corridor=habitat for birds, bats & owls.
It breaks their own nature strategy that states no biodiversity loss in 2024

Suella Braverman, "These are supposed to be some of the brightest and the best students in the land, and taught in the art of articulating their views. And expressing arguments in a coherent way. And I'me interested in hearing their argument. Engaging and listening"
Cambridge university students ignore Suella Braverman who repeatedly asks why they are protesting. None of them want to speak with her.
"A silent protest is an organized effort where the participants stay quiet to demonstrate disapproval. It is used as a form of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance"
But seriously , what has nature ever done for us ? You know , apart from the air we breathe , the food we eat , making us healthier . . .

Jemma Forte, "So the Daily Mail and the other right wing papers are trying to find anything that they can dirt on the Labour party"
"And this is the second time the Daily Mail really featured this very, very heavily. And the story is Angela Raynor sold her council, sorry, bought her council house and apparently might own between one and a half to say, three and a half thousand pounds in capital gains tax when she sold it"
"However, this has already been looked at. She's had legal advice saying she's fine. It was looked at by the police once"
"But these people are desperate to reopen the case and the hypocrisy is just off the scale because the Daily Mail is owned by Lord Ashcroft, who doesn't pay tax in this country, a non dom. It was millions and millions and millions of pounds offshore a newspaper that avoids paying its taxes tax"
"And they're going after a woman who bought her a council house and owes a couple of grand"
"Now, if that is so, then obviously labor important members of the Labour party need to be held up to scrutiny. They need to be accountable. That's absolutely fine"
"But from a party that is full of millionaires and billionaires and people like Jeremy Hunt, who, for instance, said it was an honest mistake that he didn't pay stamp duty on seven properties, it just. It feels rather grotesque to me" @jemmaforte
Jenny Jones from the Green Party knocking the top off the rice pudding here. Whatever your political views are she just nailed the state of this country and what’s wrong with it in 5 minutes.
