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.

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

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 of being liars, while hoping that is lying about his intent....

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

'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 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 '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 '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 ); ts difficult

That predator 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 , 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 press...

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

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

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

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

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

We want a better in the UK .

We want Proportional Representation

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