Even "BBC1's Have I Got News For You" perpetuates the Oligarchs lies. We are not Belarus. We can control our currency. We can therefore invest in decent public services and a zero carbon economy.

NEW: Miriam Cates MP has voted FOR fracking, despite standing on a manifesto against it.
Fracking has disastrous environmental impacts.

It's extremely worrying that @SouthYorksMCA - with support of @SheffLabour leader - have submitted an expression of interest in Investment Zones.
These mean:
🔥 A bonfire of workers rights & health & safety
🔥 A bonfire of environmental protections
✂️ Tax cuts for big business
🏗️ "Investment zones threaten to ride rough-shod over local planning priorities, further damage environment & nature, & reduce commitments to affordable homes & community facilities", @DouglasJSheff
❌ #Sheffield must reject this damaging Tory policy

I‘ve run out of words to describe what’s happening. Just like this Government is running out of Ministers. And our country is running out of patience. It simply can’t go on like this - we need a #GeneralElection

So sad. What is wrong with the parliamentary Labour Party leadership?
Yep. We are working for 'the markets', not a better society and a healthy environment.
Really is this the best we can do? Of course it isn't!

Seems like a good morning to quote UN Secretary General @antonioguterres: “New fossil fuel investment is moral & economic madness”. “Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But truly dangerous radicals are countries increasing production of fossil fuels”

This crisis proves we need a robust democracy. Governments elected by a minority of votes must never, ever be allowed to rule us.
Just because we can get rid of the Tories without proportional representation doesn’t mean we don’t need it taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2022…

Perhaps, amidst this chaos, sanity may emerge. Never forget that Tories are utterly ruthless. Without the promise of PR, because the ultra rich control the narrative, they will win.
Delighted to hear the Labour conference has supported the need for electoral reform. As Mick Lynch said @Keir_Starmer needs to wake up and smell the coffee! UK voters want a fair system where their vote counts. @TheGreenParty @MakeVotesMatter @getprdone theguardian.com/politics/202…
