I love her face, she's really not happy

Great article, well written, makes a dry topic interesting. So many people talk about green issues without talking about how it impacts on our every day lives.

Much of the article talks about Westminster politics but we shouldn't over focus on this. Westminster is far from the only vehicle for change. Mass direct action and protest have driven most big reforms, not the ballot box.

@BashStKid @davidallengreen

Hmmm.... I think I'd agree, but for the fact that if there was visible evidence of it, #Starmer's inferred tactic would have failed?

@glasco61 @davidallengreen

As as been pointed out in my timeline a few times in the last couple of months, many are in the difficult position of accusing the #Tories of being liars, while hoping that #Starmer is lying about his intent....

@AnthonyFStevens @Loukas @davidallengreen

Agreed; but I'd be surprised if I saw #Starmer walking around with one arm stuffed inside his jacket front

Sharon Graham, from Unite, on how to solve the #energycrisis:

'We need to stop dancing around our handbags & grasp the nettle. The only way to end the chaos in our energy supply is staring us in the face: public ownership'!

The Q. is what to nationalise; the #energy producers or the distribution firms (although frequently these are owned by the same corporate groups).

Anyone hoping Labour might consider this hasn't been paying attention to #Starmer's strategy not to inflame the right media!

@PlanetMillie

yes, that's very clearly one aspect of their preparation, but what this suggests to me is their (perhaps correct) assessment of what the right wing press will be doing in the run up to the election - as I've said here before, an optimistic view of #Starmer's strategy is too offer as little for the media to grip on to as possible.... but this then requires us both to trust him & accept that when he lies it is for a positive good (even as we complain about #Torylies); ts difficult

That predator #KevinSpacey was found not guilty. So that's fun. Manipulative, power-abusing bastard.

Also Sir Kid Starver is back to repeating gendercritter talking points. Because that's how far our politicians brains have rotted that they think "adult human female" actually defines women whilst excluding trans women. And blindsided by another "penises" gotcha. Cunt.

Here's the latest from @sjwrenlewis noting the difficult with general international comparisons on #publicspending, before arguing that an expansion of public spending is inevitable under a (new) Labour Govt....

This very much supports the 'trust Starmer' position that he is giving little away so as to offer a small target for the #Tory press...

Whether you *do* trust #Starmer, whatever SWL's logic, I guess at this point is a matter or personal ( #political ) choice!

FFS this whole country needs to be a #ULEZ

#Starmer rolling back on #Climate promised won't help anyone.

#UK #Labour needs to decide what it stands for if it really wants to help this country.

We're in a deadly #ClimateEmergency

We need to approach this like governments approach a national disaster or invasion, not taking tiny steps.

Reflect on this #Starmer 🖕
Sadiq Khan has principles he stands by.

I didn't think it was physically possible, but #Starmer both sucks and blows.

Sir Keir #Starmer is desperately trying to appeal to former Tory voters just at the point when they don't support the Tory policies which he is now promoting.

If #Labour and Tory parties are inseparable there won't be an improvement in living standards or the services we all rely on.

Whither the social contract now?

@YoContextKev Well #Starmer looks better than anyone else to me just now. He gets my vote, since #GretaThunberg is sadly not a candidate. I'll pester him on green issues once he's safely made it to PM.

#ToriesOut #KeirStarmer

#Labour have really lost their way

#Starmer has given assurances to Norwegian state gas & oil giant, Equinor, that Labour will not oppose the massive #Rosebank oil field in the North Sea

Not only do Labour deny us #democracy in the UK, as Starmer refuses to allow a vote on #PR but they are also screwing the planet in the face of the #ClimateEmergency

Happy #SocialistSunday

Fair enough, can’t argue with that

Under First Past The Post #FPTP we are stuck with an unfair system, and people's votes don't count.

We want a better #democracy in the UK .

We want Proportional Representation #PR

Sorry to hear that #Starmer isn't listening, he doesn't care about democracy
