Energy companies are planning vast oil & gas projects which will bust #climate limits
#QueensSpeech should include proposals to kick criminal companies out of UK for good - their CEOs should be on trial for crimes against humanity, not peaceful protesters defending our futures

The Tory #QueensSpeech simply fails to address the millions of people forced into poverty by over a decade of austerity and the cost of living scandal.
We need urgent action on the housing crisis, energy companies to be taken into public hands and a wealth tax now.

The agenda of a law and order society rather than dealing with the divisions that exist in our society will not close the chasm of national, regional, social and class inequality in Britain.

Lockdown showed the vital role access to nature plays in our wellbeing, but also the inequalities of access - an issue that repeatedly fails to get the attention & government action it deserves.

For a Govt which says it cares about cost of living crisis, it's remarkable that #QueensSpeech had absolutely nothing on a mass home insulation programme β the cheapest, fastest, most effective way to cut household bills, energy demand, climate emissions, and create 1000s of jobs
