We're going to be honest about problems & fair about decisions, claims Jeremy Hunt. So I look forward to hearing an honest assessment of the disastrous impact of #Brexit & a commitment to higher windfall taxes & to a wealth tax - not more costs for poorest #Kuenssberg#BBCLauraK
🌍 COP27 UPDATE: The richest countries most responsible for the Climate Crisis are blocking proper financial support for countries in the Global South suffering from climate damage.
Anyone else think this stinks?
According to the BBC, Qatar, a country where women’s rights and gay rights belong in a different century, is reportedly the 10th biggest landowner in the UK. Heathrow, Harrods and the Shard are among its investments. Britain is a place where dictatorships come to wash their dosh.
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!
@robdelaney@theRCN I'm frequently in UK w/Brit partner, dealt w/NHS thru family members, it's amazing. After partner's knee surgery he just WHEELED out, no stopping to sign insurance papers, no bills coming for 6 months! I too tell people they have a treasure in NHS. Don't be US.
@robdelaney@theRCN Hi @robdelaney Huge thanks for your support. I'll join picket lines. As a young RN >40 yrs ago my salary enabled me to buy a house,car &holidays. We were valued & the stresses & responsibility was reflected in our pay. Now I weep for those using foodbanks & UC
I've added my name to a letter telling the Prime Minister it is time to protect nursing to protect the public. Will you add yours? Without nursing staff, there is no NHS. https://t.co/iftb0Daw2z
Support for the NHS can’t just be lip service or clapping or we will lose it. Get ready to give in-person, material support to our striking nurses. Follow @theRCN for actionable info: https://t.co/AUULMQ6lWB❤️✊🏼
@Nurseborisbash @Photo_Iain I have retweeted this whole long thread because some people have short memories or little understanding of what NHS staff went through then & now. You all deserve every penny of an inflation busting plus pay rise & the UK can’t afford not to give it. #FairPayforNursing#OurNHS
One of the best things about my allotment is preservation for those colder months when you need pure comfort food.
Nothing better than your own!
