@PeterMcCormack @Heccles94 So are sales of shampoo it would seem.

@Heccles94 More trees dying for your campaign

Out leafleting today. Just been round a block of retirement flats, spoke to several lovely older residents. Each one of them planning to vote Green 💚

@KEdge23 Gone (hopefully)

Can you name a positive word to describe this current Labour government? I can’t.

@ZackPolanski Renewables are the rip off, the tax payer is being fleeced

Sky hill bills. Rising rents. And more energy spikes coming down the track. We should be investing in renewable energy to lower our bills - and end Rip Off Britain. Join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨4000 Followers🚨 Almost 5000 page views over the past 3 days alone! Great work everyone. Keep on telling everyone you know We need to gain influence if we are going to stop this economic catastrophe We do not want to become a cautionary tale like South Africa

@GreatBritishTT @PeterMcCormack Excellent, as expected. Keep up the good work…

@RobPalmski @PeterMcCormack @PeterMcCormack is a friend of GBTT

🚨The GDP Delusion🚨 The British Political and Media Class as well as the Electorate are broadly delusional We have to break this spell Check out the shocking data as well as a World Bank fuelled comparison tool Please comment and share gbtt.info/gdp-delusion.h…

@monicabeharding @LibDems How will you fund it? Where will you cut? Or it is just more borrowing I assume seeing as productivity (GDP per capita) is 0.

@LibDems want fuel duty cut by 10p, 10% off rail fares and a cap of £1 on bus fares to deal with the fall out of Trump’s war in Iran. We’re all suffering from higher petrol prices, higher energy bills, more expensive holidays and higher prices in supermarkets because of Trump’s military actions in the Middle East - a war none of us wanted. @LibDems emergency transport package will help families weather this storm. Households need a fair deal on travel and the Government must act now.

@RedMMT And no one, at any point, took any risk in the process of wealth creation… business just magically appeared.

Está estupidez solo la puede decir alguien que no entiende que la riqueza la crean unos y la redistribuyen las relaciones sociales. En el capitalismo la riqueza que crean los trabajadores se la apropian los capitalistas.

@monicabeharding This isn’t the win Monica thinks it is…

Oops

It is much, much worse than you think… The UK added 11.1 million people and built 4.8 million homes (@GreatBritishTT article) Broad money quadrupled from £700bn to £3.2tn while real GDP grew 55%. Four pounds now do the job one used to do. That is the entire mechanism. Your house didn’t get more valuable. Your pound got less valuable. The house just kept score. Prime London down 25% from 2014. BTL yields below gilts. Fertility at 1.44. First-time buyer age up from 29 to 33. Home ownership down from 71% to 63%. Net income ratio between minimum wage and a top 5% salary: 3:1. The USSR never went below 5:1. They sold the energy. They sold the water. They sold the housing stock. They loaded the graduates with debt. They crushed the savers. They printed to cover the deficit. They froze the tax bands. They let the courts collapse. They let a car leasing monopoly sit on £4bn in reserves. They funded Persimmon’s CEO bonus with public money. They taxed family farms at death. They promised 300,000 homes a year and never once delivered. Then they told you it was your fault for not saving harder. Energy is the master input. Britain is an island made of coal surrounded by a sea full of gas and the political class won’t drill it. Norway took the same geology, built a $1.7tn sovereign wealth fund, and is now courting OpenAI. We built consultancy reports. The next industrial revolution will not happen here. Not because we lack the talent. Because thirty years of policy made the cost of powering anything too high for the industries of the future to justify locating in this country. This is not just a housing crisis. It is a monetary crisis expressed through housing, compounded by energy failure, planning paralysis, institutional decay and three decades of fiscal incontinence.

@DaveAnd07074001 @renewablesmiffy Well said Dave… Chris won’t see this because he’s blocked me.

@renewablesmiffy @RobPalmski It's empirically observed to be not a threat. Drop the condescension and look at actual data.

The single most significant threat to global farming today is climate change, because it acts as a threat multiplier that worsens nearly every other risk agriculture faces. - Temperature shifts - Erratic rainfall -extreme weather - water scarcity

@CossieRob @BuckCllr Nope.

@RobPalmski @BuckCllr Then we use expensive gas

Looks what’s happening in the UK electricity grid right now? Great to see renewables doing so much and an ever decreasing reliance on FF’s. As a bonus, it’s also very cheap, look at the price!

@AgnstModFball @jack_jsteele Yea, my worry too. Under Glasner he has really pushed on… used to just be defensively excellent, but now going forwards he offers so much. A proper, high quality LWB.

@jack_jsteele More worried about Mitchell tbh

Yeah I’m afraid Canvot is not gonna be here long

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK … then they bemoan wealth inequality whilst inflating assets (benefitting the rich) and good and services (impacting the poor). By the very system they are advocating for. Then to solve it, just blame the rich. Insanity (or ignorance).

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK We have had rampant inflation since then from food to assets, but they just say it’s “supply side”

Something has gone fundamentally wrong with the UK’s economic model. The government is extracting record levels from working people, yet even that isn’t enough to cover the scale of welfare spending. £333 billion going out. £331 billion coming in from income tax. That gap tells a bigger story, the burden on workers keeps rising, while the number of dependants on the system continues to grow. At some point, that equation will stop working.

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK “Sustained Economic Growth”… what’s that!? Since COVID… Broad money (M4) up 25–30% Real GDP up 2–3% (per capita 0%) And the MMT nuts want MORE money printing…

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK If Greens get in that process will be a lot faster as they have been captured by MMT nutters I agree though that will happen eventually unless we get a sustained period of high economic growth

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK Yea. My point is that I don’t think it’ll be slow creep inflation… I think the refinancing will end with a currency collapse as we can’t pay our debt interest.

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK Print money to pay for it Inflation

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK I worry about the debt refinancing from the low rates of the 2010s…

@BenGrahamUK It can keep going for a while yet they will just print money and we get slow creep inflation

@puff449935 @Undoomed I’ve worked in agriculture across N America, the UK and East Africa - the same soil sample results generally - high pH, low microbial activity. Worth a read up on MMT It’s a description of how money flows in an economy which controls its own currency.

@RobPalmski @Undoomed I could be convinced on soil health, in the short term especially. What's the evidence? Also not super well read in economics, what is MMT?

For fuck’s sake. Every time I argue with a leftist they block me. What’s even the point of social media if you’re just going to block all opposing views? Remember the “social” part of social media, socialists. Fucking cowards.

@puff449935 @Undoomed Fair response - I suggested that soil health is more significant than climate variability and it’s an easier to win, one of mitigation. My second tweet was that government has proven it’s not productive, so MMT isn’t realistic policy: Broad money (M4) up 25–30% Real GDP up 2–3%

@RobPalmski @Undoomed Fair enough, it was hard to gather the full context just from the four tweets. What were the points you were making? I could definitely be wrong
