Dear Government...
Top 5 (realistic) policy suggestions:
1. Bring in a tiny 2% wealth tax (= Ā£24bn)
2. Invest that in NHS, Schools and Rewilding
3. And avoid welfare cuts for the worst off
4. Get growth via investing in green economy (grew 10% last year)
5. End arms sales to Israel - because itās immoral.

So @RachelReeves says growth Trumps the environment. Will that still be so after 2Ā° of warming? What about 3? What about four Celsius warming? What about when the Earth becomes utterly uninhabitable? Will we still be chasing growth? Wise up

So ā¦@Keir_Starmerā© tells Ed Miliband: āI hate tree huggers - I'm not interested in hope & changeā . Well Keir there a lot of unhappy ātree huggersā now and a lot more people who voted for āhope and changeā who are beginning to wonder whatās going on

I want to vomit every time I hear someone from our goverment saying we are going to be world leaders in AI.
What a crock of dangerous BS.
What about being world leaders in looking after our landscapes and nature, looking after our people, looking after our health and our diet?

Politicians did this.
Billionaires did this.
Fossil fuel executives did this.
While students, grandmothers and doctors are imprisoned in the UK for trying to prevent it.

Fossil fuel capitalists have been deliberately killing us for half a century & governments gift them $TRILLIONS in subsidies every year.
And now a wannabe-dictator-president plans to steal Greenland & drill drill drill.
January 2025 is showing us exactly where weāre heading.

šØ BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS
Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag.
She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her.
Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange.
She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.

āIf they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jailā - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of ādonāt look upā is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we canāt say we didnāt know

"I understand why you're doing it but for heaven's sake...
...and then you see the scenes in Spain."
It's a relief to see @mrjamesob connecting the dots. So few journalists are. Direct action from ordinary people is needed more than ever to force those in power to act.
