So @RachelReeves says growth Trumps the environment. Will that still be so after 2° 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.

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.
