Being grandma is good! Retired from NHS last year so more time for worrying about UK politics and the planet. PR supporter to change system. #FBPPR #FBPA

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

Rishi Sunak private jet man does not give a shit about climate change. Backing big oil coz they donate £££ to you is no reason to not care… yet he doesn’t! Are we surprised? Errr NOPE. Tories are always profits before people, including our kids futures!

5⃣CLIMATE DISASTER:

This is a disaster for the climate - as everyone from the International Energy Agency to the UN, to the IPCC, and the CCC has told us, with global warming spiralling to a catastrophic 3C if every country follows this approach.

"At a time when the #climatecrisis is intensifying, it is concerning to see the UK expand oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.

The UK should be focused on investing in renewable energy not doubling-down on fossil fuels."

Today @grantshapps said no to science, no to climate action, no to sanity

He has given in to a political wing of luddite billionaire pricks who value profits over a liveable planet

These actions will significantly worsen human & planetary health

.@GoodwinMJ falls in to the trap of thinking ordinary people should pay for the transition to net zero. Wrong. The cost should, will fall on oil companies who knowingly kept drilling despite their own evidence they were doing would cause the #ClimateCrisis

[Robert Cragg @RobertCragg]

I've said it before and I'll inevitably be forced to say it again. Every Tory #PrimeMinister is the worst ever - until the next one comes along. Johnson was a lying cheat, but Sunak doesn't care if the planet burns. #GlobalBoiling #ToryGaslighting

@RishiSunak Translation: CONservatives ARE in hoc to their fossil-fuel donors 💰and their network of think thanks, and have chosen extinction #ClimateAction 🌏 All for greed.

Honestly what is the point in anything #GlobalBoiling #ClimateEmergency Rishi Sunak defends granting new North Sea oil and gas licences https://t.co/OaxRe9v4bt

[Chris Dunsheath @ChrisD_Bingley]

@ChrisGPackham great 👍 interview on @SkyNews today. Clear and logical facts with regards to the ridiculous & stupid announcement by @RishiSunak regarding #oilandgas to keep his #BigOil paymasters happy. Well done that man. @carolvorders @bobbyllew #GlobalBoiling

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Wildlife expert @ChrisGPackham says the PMs assertion that we are "on track" to meet our net zero target by 2050 is "a lie".

"We are not in line to meet any of these targets," he adds.

As proven during the recent local elections, tactical voting WORKS very effectively, so here's a select few Conservative MPs where if everyone locally votes tactically the Tory will be OUT of Westminster!

Who would be daft enough to believe a Tory promise about anything? @lisanandy

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

It takes some serious brass neck for the Tories to make yet more promises on housing when the housing crisis has gone from bad to worse on their watch, and when housebuilding is on course to hit its lowest level since the Second World War. 🧵

[Michael Mosley @DrMichaelMosley]

Absolutely. When I made a series called Who Made Britain Fat for Channel 4 we were promised controls on junk food advertising by 2022.. still waiting

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

🧵Here's 6 reasons why no new oil & gas in the North Sea is a good thing:

1. New oil & gas fields won't do anything to lower our energy bills.

The government admits this - the companies with licences own the oil & gas, not us. They either export it or sell it to us at profit.

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

Y'all forgot the biggest threat of all--the #climatecrisis

[Harry Yorke @HarryYorke1]

How can you determine whether something is “unambiguously irrelevant” if you aren’t actually in possession of it?

[Cami 🕊️ @Cami_bekind]

🚨The UK government is going all-out for a dangerous axing of our environmental protections at a scale never seen before.

Interesting !
How a Parliament could look like under a #ProportionalRepresentation voting system when all votes count & #SeatsMatchVotes
#GetPRDone 👇🏽

[GET PR DONE! ⭕️⚫️🟣🟢🔴🟠 @getprdone]

How about a corresponding #DemocraticMission based on #ProportionalRepresentation so that everyone's vote is valued and Britain's democracy thrives?

Now that really would mean doing things differently!

A case study on what is wrong with tabloid journalism in Britain: This Daily Mail story reports that a Lib Dem council in Surrey is close to collapse due to massive overspending. Fact: the Lib Dems are only recently in control, all the overspending happened under a Tory council.
