#COP31

[Natalie Bennett @natalieben]

As #COP31 starts, it is not just Trump, petrostates and #BigFood standing in opposition.
#BigTech is also an enemy of #ClimateAction. But the people are fighting back as they say no to data centres.

[Leicester Green Party @LeicsGreenParty]

@UN @antonioguterres It’s not fair to push this onto the next generation. WE must do better on our watch. #Labour, what are you doing? #Jackdaw

[Leicester Green Party @LeicsGreenParty]

Carla: If the Government is clear that fossils fuels are driving climate breakdown, then why are they not clear that greenlighting Rosebank - the biggest undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea - is a complete dereliction of duty?".

Hey @UKLabour @andyburnham @downingstreet
Time to put us and @thameswater out of our misery!
Public ownership asap!

[Leicester Green Party @LeicsGreenParty]

@MagsLewisGreens @johnpringdns Yes, and with libraries shutting or reducing hours all over the city, there are even fewer toilets meaning #disabled people are often unable to leave their homes @leicslive @Leicester_News it is an #access issue

All of this is just propaganda to absolve Labours failures 👇🏾

🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.

A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.

The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.

This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.

112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.

A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.

And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.

@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.

This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?

NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.

Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.

I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.

We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.

I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.

What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?

I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

[United Nations @UN]

Heavy rains are flooding displacement sites across Gaza.

Tents have collapsed, children are wading through contaminated water & families are losing what little they have.

@UNmigration is working to help, but needs far exceed available resources. https://t.co/y2zEW1JeRR

What are #Labour doing??

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

A truly terrible decision at a truly terrible time. The shift to electric vehicles is government’s single biggest decarbonisation policy. Cutting EV targets would send a message on eve of #COP31 that UK is no longer serious about #climate action
