@GNDRising So Greens are still assumed to be on the left . Saving the planet is in everyone's interest

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@sallonsax so still

@scottsantens Rhe ony thing which puzzlesme is why no one seems to notice the serious fault in the current 'benefits' system. Iyre wards ide ness,or it ould, but for thesocial pressurw to work. Yhe UBI will actually make working of less incone feasible https://t.co/Tlz6KLpJOH

@GreenJennyJones @christinabohons I wish it wasn't called ' Global warming' which sounds so benign. Polar bears are starving, there are fires across the world, storms and hurricanes. People going hungry. Call it out...
It's Global Boiling.

@lewis_baston My suggestion is to push the issue fo climate change up the agenda. I f somebody can think of a better way than making this the centre of a Green Party campaign? It is no use pretending we can win until that is realistic.

@greenbenali I recommend that at the by-elections still pending we akspeope to vote greeif they are woried about global heating. In particular, aothough one Green Party candidate has withdrawn, his name remains o the ballot paper.
Climate chane needstob e raised in imprtance in voters' minds

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@SWGreenParty Just a hopefully pragmatic suggestion. If this is the first appearance of the Green Party in the constituency,, doorknockers should just ask voters
please vote Green.
If we get more votes than usual. that will raise our profile.

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@JoshHarris431 Fine in general, but an unconditional basic incoem wourbe better than a £15 minimum wage, which assumes outdated left wing associations

@NatuMyers It should encourage one to seek employment. because the present 'benefits' system is a work disincentive https://www.clivelord,co,uk

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@scottsantens Your account of the UBI prevention bill isnot intelligble can you explain the reasoning for it please?

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@scottsantens But the Basic Income could still be the obvious alternative tot the disaster prophesied herehttps//:https://t.co/QRpqFw7qZB

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@BarryESharp @scottsantens Opposition to the universal basic income (UBI)misses the fact that the exisiting 'benefits' system is flawed. it puts those on low income at a disadvantage when compared t the unemployed https//;https://t.co/QRpqFw6Ta3

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@GDadais @peterrhague Degrowth may be happening, butthe consesnsu us that it must be prevented. An universal basic income only becomes relevant when the need for something to prevent hardship (due to degrowth) becomes urgent

[Grand_Dadais @GDadais]

@peterrhague Good luck accepting that we won't have a choice to degrowth...
It's so funny seeing people mature in physics that are unable to accept the finitude of our system and ourselves :p

@yo_samuteki I have been pushing the UBI for many years, but I do have a warning. If associated with economic growth instead of sustainability it will do more harm than good https://t.co/0AKSZCeyX1

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@StopToryEcocide @GreenJennyJones It is the judicial mind set which needs to change

[Clive Lord @Clive_Lord]

@scottsantens I urge the universal Basic income (UBS), for a diametrically opposite reason from most. Most advocate growth, which causes more carbon dioxide, hence floods and wildfires. https://www,https://t.co/dE7Qyu7udo
