While the US & Europe ramp up military spending, millions live in poverty. Today, we launch Transition Security Project, investigating how militarisation makes us poorer and less safe amid climate crisis — and what genuine security could look like. 🧵 transitionsecurity.org

“Decouple electricity prices from gas ... preventing windfall profits and stabilising prices, this approach could save billions and protect households from the next energy price crisis.” — @BrownSdc Our new briefing covered by @Guardian 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

“Currently, [critical mineral policy is] being deployed to advance a bellicose nationalism ... which is clearly in opposition to a just energy transition.” Lorah Steichen quoted in @grist on Trump’s critical minerals stockpile. 👇 grist.org/climate-energy…

China not only leading the energy transition but insulating itself from price shocks precipitated by US-Israeli wars. Graphic from @TransitionSec

Our co-director @KhemRogaly spoke to the @NewStatesman about Zack Polanski’s anti-war politics. Polanski is right to oppose the illegal war on Iran and to highlight the divergence between US strategy and the interests of British people.
megan kenyon@meganekenyon

This was an interesting one to dig into - my report looking at how Zack Polanski and the Green Party are thinking about their position on defence and, in particular, on Nato.

The illegal US-Israeli war on Iran has exposed the UK’s fossil energy dependency. Read our research quoted in the Guardian’s editorial. “Transition Security Project estimates that the 2022 energy shock cost the EU and UK $1.8tn between 2022 and 2025.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Whether it’s Reform or the Tories, the right are pushing for the UK to expand its role in the illegal war on Iran, which is causing another energy shock. @KemiBadenoch also wants to cut welfare to fund more military spending. We pay the price while politicians lobby for war.
Transition Security Project@TransitionSec

Kemi Badenoch wants to reimpose the two child benefit cap to fund military spending.   This is alongside her push for the UK to expand its role in the illegal war on Iran, which threatens economic stability and the cost of living.   @KhemRogaly’s response on @LBC 👇

The US–Israeli attack on Iran will deepen the cost of living crisis. The last energy shock cost Europe $1.8tn. Europe’s leaders have backed the illegal war that may cause the next shock. The transatlantic alliance is Europe’s trillion dollar bill. 🧵 transitionsecurity.org/trillion-dolla…

This is brilliant by @TransitionSec. By investing in US-controlled military systems and failing to invest in clean energy, we are deepening our dependence on Trump. We must reverse course. Compare European with Chinese energy & military spend 👇 transitionsecurity.org/trillion-dolla…

Hegseth: “Firepower over Iran and over Tehran is about to surge dramatically...we are gonna have even more basing and it’s not just the UK”. Don't be fooled by Keir Starmer’s rhetoric. “Defensive strikes” are a myth. These bases are being used for an illegal war of choice.
Charlie Peters@CDP1882

The first of several American B-1 heavy bombers has landed at RAF Fairford today after Keir Starmer gave the US permission to use British bases for strikes on Iran

“The 2022 energy crisis presented a fork in the road for Europe – double down on volatile fossil fuel markets, or pivot to homegrown clean energy and greater security.” Now, European leaders are supporting a war that may cause the next energy shock. 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

“Europe faces a choice: stay loyal to a partnership that imposes foreign policy based on war & fossil energy, or build an independent strategy grounded in climate stability, the everyday safety of citizens and international solidarity.” Read @TransitionSec’s latest briefing. 👇

“The UK’s failure to [pivot to homegrown clean energy] has left people on ordinary incomes paying the price.” Europe's strategy worsened the last energy shock. Now, European leaders support a war that may cause the next one. Our briefing in @guardian 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
