Even "BBC1's Have I Got News For You" perpetuates the Oligarchs lies. We are not Belarus. We can control our currency. We can therefore invest in decent public services and a zero carbon economy.

There is no Scottish currency question

I liked Tim Rideout’s way of addressing the Scottish currency question when he spoke at the Alba conference recently. There is no currency question, he said; https://youtu.be/FsMU71RhJ4Q

How can anyone think Johnson a reformed person?

I did a Twitter poll an hour or so ago: These things are not scientific, of course. And I have no doubt my Twitter timeline is biased, but I still think it interesting. Who are the 4%? What planet do...

NEW: Miriam Cates MP has voted FOR fracking, despite standing on a manifesto against it. Fracking has disastrous environmental impacts.

It's extremely worrying that @SouthYorksMCA - with support of @SheffLabour leader - have submitted an expression of interest in Investment Zones. These mean: 🔥 A bonfire of workers rights & health & safety 🔥 A bonfire of environmental protections ✂️ Tax cuts for big business

I‘ve run out of words to describe what’s happening. Just like this Government is running out of Ministers. And our country is running out of patience. It simply can’t go on like this - we need a #GeneralElection

Really sad that today is my last day as lead councillor for Natural Environment and Climate Change at Hastings Borough Council thanks to interference from national Labour Party insisting that local Labour couldn't work with Greens in Cabinet.

Yep. We are working for 'the markets', not a better society and a healthy environment. Really is this the best we can do? Of course it isn't!

Seems like a good morning to quote UN Secretary General @antonioguterres: “New fossil fuel investment is moral & economic madness”. “Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But truly dangerous radicals are countries increasing production of fossil fuels”

This crisis proves we need a robust democracy. Governments elected by a minority of votes must never, ever be allowed to rule us.

Perhaps, amidst this chaos, sanity may emerge. Never forget that Tories are utterly ruthless. Without the promise of PR, because the ultra rich control the narrative, they will win.

Delighted to hear the Labour conference has supported the need for electoral reform. As Mick Lynch said @Keir_Starmer needs to wake up and smell the coffee! UK voters want a fair system where their vote counts. @TheGreenParty @MakeVotesMatter @getprdone theguardian.com/politics/202…
