So let me get this right. From a £203m PPE contract awarded to a Tory Peer’s business partner, £122m was lost on useless, substandard PPE - subsequently burned -, yet still the company found £29m to pay the Tory Peer?

Money that was meant to save lives, burned and pocketed!

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

Chancellor confirms he will tax renewable energy profits 10% higher than oil and gas. Genius. 🤦‍♂️

Tonight at #COP27 Canada had the chance to align w/ Colombia, Tuvalu, Norway, EU, Denmark, France & the UK and call for the necessary phase out of all fossils

Canada's silence puts them on the same level as those blocking - inc. Saudi Arabia, Iran and Russia

This one made me lol. I imagine a slow-mo visual that accompanies the hair reveal. Living out my own romcom childhood dreams

I like to think I’m a reasonable person who doesn’t get into hyperbole too often… but this is seriously Trump-ish voter suppression from the Tories. They aren’t even subtle about it. They think younger people won’t vote for them, so their plan is just to stop them voting at all.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

For the cheap seats…

Laundering Covid contracts through the NHS - artificially inflating the NHS budget - is not an increase in funding.

The NHS didn’t see any of that money. It’s just another con!

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

We spend an equivalent £15-25bn less than France and Germany on healthcare.

Enough to restore pay to all NHS staff and expand hospital bed capacity back to 2010 levels.

Your access to healthcare is a political choice!

Today, I confronted with UK 🇬🇧 Minister of Energy, Climate and Environment @ZacGoldsmith at #COP27.

I asked him, "When will you release those jailed climate activists your Govt. arrested for protesting to stop new oil & gas license across UK?"

He replied, "No idea" & run away!

Whilst the Vice-Chancellor and Uni management threaten us with expulsion, none other than the Dean of @LeedsUniBSchool (where we're occupying) vindicates us in this School-wide email to staff...

Here's the most awkward custom search function I've ever created: everyone you follow, who's also paid Elon $8 for a dodgy tick

A former Health Secretary in the jungle and the current one on a different planet.🤷🏻‍♂️

[Andrew Simms @AndrewSimms_uk]

This is a major breakthrough, we've been arguing @badvertising11 with our colleagues @FVReclame for a tobacco style ban on adverts by major fossil fuel polluters - and the proposal has just been backed by the director of public health at the World Health Organisation 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Here's your weekly reminder that 10 years ago the NHS was the best healthcare system on the planet, ranked number 1 by the @commonwealthfnd. The NHS crisis is due to a decade of Tory underfunding and criminal grade neglect. We don't need a new system, we need a new govt.

316 MPs claimed their utility bills on expenses last year, with some members claiming more than £3,000 to cover their utilities. Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own gas and electric.

I ♥️ Elon Twitter: I can now immediately scroll past an ad whenever I see the official tag. No need to even look at it & see the promoted tag underneath. Less ads. If you genuinely subscribe to Twitter Blue I mute, block for a cleaner timeline. And then there's this... 🤣

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Can we please use Twitter Blue to tank the stocks of fossil fuel companies next?

BREAKING: Climate activists shut down entrance of Teterboro Airport, the busiest private airport in the US, joining other private airport shutdowns around the world today.

Billionaires produce a million times more climate pollution than the average person.
