Well, this is fascinating. The good people at @cplusci have found that voters with incomes under 100K overwhelmingly support fossil-fuel phaseout! So much for the myth that #climatechange is merely an "elite" concern of the affluent, college-educated, dare I say "woke" voter 🧵

As I told @BBCNews we must adapt to worsening #climate impacts. "There are things that we can do that would make a big difference, but it takes investment & it takes planning & coordination. So that's really for government to step in & help make that happen" #StormBert #Floods

I was on @BBCNews talking about the impact of #StormBert on my local community in South #Wales🏴 "It's so important that not only do we phase out fossil fuels, we must actually also massively now invest in climate adaptation... we need to see that from the government right now"

"Take the money of British gas the greedy f*cks - or stop them charging so much and I wouldn't need support staying warm." @ACORNCardiff @ACORNunion @ThisWinterUK
Last Saturday, we asked Splott locals about their Winter Fuel Payment concerns, gained support for our Warm Homes Campaign, and even signed 2 new members! With the Splott by-election on 5 December, we're asking all candidates how they plan to protect our pensioners - Stay tuned!

With 300 activists we blocked TotalEnergies in the Port of Antwerp. Even though there was a multitude of police per activist, we still managed to block for five hours. ✊💚 This is without all the sites that were pre-emptively closed because they were unaware of our target. 😉😅
