Today climbers were protesting against Rishi Sunak's plans to approve over 100 new oil and gas licences. Sunak is pushing us closer to climate breakdown and doing nothing to lower bills or boost our energy security. Our future is more important than big oil profits! #NoNewOil

Following @itvnews & @UE's terrifying sewage dumping story; the reality. The lake below is N London's only SSSI. Currently 4 CSOs are dumping sewage into a feeder stream. Not only that but @Barrattplc are going to build a bridge through the SSSI destroying even more habitat. 😔

When people who lie sit in the highest offices of Government we have a huge problem of trust The strikes did not cause the failure of the NHS, 4.3million people were waiting over 18 weeks prior to 2019 The strikes were & are caused by Government failures

Sunak petulantly makes a face as a doctor outlines his failings. He’s making billions from oil licences as underpaid, overworked NHS staff save lives. Britain is fucked, it’s the government’s fault and THAT is why he hides and avoids interviews. https://t.co/ecck71BtO9

Not true, @RishiSunak. Your party allowed waiting lists to balloon to 4.4 million by 2019 - long before strikes & long before Covid. You’ve caused waits to skyrocket since 2010. A political choice - which hurts patients dearly. Stop smearing NHS doctors.

First, I gave a quick update on my five priorities. Whilst we’re on track to achieve most of them, waiting lists are not yet falling because of the strikes in our NHS. I hope those still striking will accept the independent pay offer and get back to doing what they love.

Last week Shell made £3.9 BILLION in quarterly profits while Greece fought wildfires. Wildfires which scientists say are becoming more frequent and intense because of the climate crisis. A crisis which fossil fuel companies like Shell are driving.⁠ Can you see the problem?⁠

It’s amazing how quickly the Media forget about their own real crimes Should Nigel Farage be investigated for crashing NatWest Stock by Ā£850m. So that his employer GB News could profit from shorting the stock? Like if YES RT if Nigel Farage needs to be in prison

If this doesn’t make you angry nothing will. Why is the Prime Minister allowed to get away with this bollocks? Why is it always left to me to point this stuff out? If you share my anger RT this widely. Let’s make sure together the public know the TRUTH

The present is unsustainable. Oil and banking have made it so. Something is going to have to change. https://t.co/LJbm50nawz We are reaching a tipping point. Sunak's big oil and high-interest rate policy, tacitly backed by Labour, is unsustainable.
