I'm over oil! 🛢️Why are we paying the price of foreign wars, when we can power the country with 🌬️wind, 🌊wave and ☀️sun? It's time to take back control of our energy. #IranWar‌ #oil

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.

We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump.

Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

It’s time to talk about a monarchy-free Britain. We need a serious, fair and informed debate about the monarchy and the democratic alternative. That alternative is a parliamentary system, taking what we have and making it democratic top to bottom. #AbolishTheMonarchy

[Dušan Farrington @quillspatter]

@RepublicStaff I'm flabbergasted by the "rule" that MPs can't question the conduct of the royal family or king ... How is it a democracy if MPs aren't allowed to ask simple questions? (What are the royals afraid we'll ask?)

Time's up for the whole farcical 'system'.

“It’s going to be more of a crisis than the passing of Princess Diana and more of a crisis than the abdication of 1936”

Royal historian Professor Kate Williams tells @bbcpaddy that this is a “giant crisis” and “it’s just getting started”

It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.

CEOs are earning hundreds of times more than their staff. Tesco’s boss made 431x the average worker last year! 😳 Sign the petition for a maximum wage and help make pay fair https://t.co/2Pzdqta664 via @38degrees

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family."

Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?

It sickens me to see how this government has wasted its entire time in office on culture wars, scapegoating and self-inflicted scandals, while, as the current extreme sea surface temperatures suggest, we are racing towards planetary tipping points.

I just solved most of the UK's problems -- not bad for a Wednesday morning. Er, actually I only did this virtually, playing a very amusing -- and educational (and even poignant) -- game from the @equalitytrust: the Obscene Wealth Simulator: https://t.co/AHCE9IW23B

Really happy to stumble across Beat Takeshi's handprint in Asakusa's "スターの広場" / "Star Square" (think: mini version of Hollywood's Walk of Fame). I was honestly quite star struck ⭐️. Love #TakeshisCastle (enjoying the new season!) and his excellent movies.

Worker wages are being outpaced by inflation, causing a real-terms pay-cut due to the increased cost of basics. Workers didn't cause the cost-of-living crisis and shouldn't have to pay for it. The current inflation crisis is a result of corporate greed. https://t.co/7B58B3ILUz
