@pamelafitz4HW Have you noticed that as soon as 21 year olds have finished their mickey-mouse degrees they will be earning enough money on the minimum wage from their mickey mouse job to start paying back their enormous student loan? Welcome to modern Britain.

18-25 year olds fit to work are entitled to £338.58 a month Universal Credit, thats £78.13 a week and £4062.96 per year. Minimum wage is £10.85 per hour for 18-20 year olds £12.71 per hour for over 21’s so between £23,568 and £36,436,80 per annum. Same old lies from politicians.

@ret_ward Have you considered the chickens? Climate change fanatics never stop to think about the senseless slaughter of all the chickens.

@JeanPortley @StuartBudd1 Climate change is the cause of the deterioration of all things on the planet. Did Santa visit you last Xmas? While living at the North Pole? Coincidence? I think not.

1/ All this could have been prevented if we had acted in time and started the decarbonisation and energy transition as soon as a scientific consensus about global warming due to CO2 emissions was reached, over 50 years ago! giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

@JohnHealey_MP @paulmasonnews This comes at a time when polling shows just 6% of Britons would fight for their country if it was *invaded*, to say nothing of voluntarily signing up to be killed horrifically in the mechanised Donbass slaughterhouse Ukraine and Russia have constructed over the past four years

🧵: Kinda flying under 's radar as it's the summer, but Britain is now formally preparing for war. The Labour party's highest levels have been getting derangedly hawkish advice for years to "defeat Russia" in Ukraine and prepare accordingly. Now here we are. This is very serious.

Andy Burnham@andyburnham

Britain stands with Ukraine, shoulder to shoulder, always. Russia should be in no doubt of our resolve, and we will not back down until we achieve long lasting and just peace for Ukraine. Great to see you @ZelenskyyUa.

@RogerHallamCS21 Your posts are becoming so ludicrous it is beginning to look like you are trying to discredit the environmental movement.

40 years+ of The same Uniparty Government, Enriching themselves & their Bastard friends, while Stripping the Bones of the Poorest in society, & calling it "Tough Decisions". A clear sign was a Client Media selling this guy as "Radical" when his Atrocious record was right there.
The Telegraph@Telegraph

Young people will face being stripped of their benefits unless they agree to do training or voluntary work under the proposed measures, which are part of an effort to reduce the country’s £333bn welfare bill ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

New UK PM Andy Burnham presumes to speak for the whole of the country. OK. But who is the more legitimate "leader"? Burnham, who has never been elected UK PM through a GE: or Zelensky, who was elected president of Ukraine but whose term expired two years ago? Thanks for voting.

The world has spent $7 trillion on wind and solar. That global fleet produces an average of around 630 GW. The same $7 trillion could have built roughly 1,400 modern nuclear reactors, producing around 1,400 GW on average -- so more than twice the power. Wind and solar generally last around 20 years (a lot less by some estimates), whereas nuclear plants can operate for 80 years or more. Over 80 years, wind and solar must be built four times -- a cost of $28 trillion to maintain 630 gigawatts. The same $28 trillion spent on nuclear would deliver roughly 5,600 gigawatts -- nearly nine times the power. Also, nuclear produces this regardless of the weather, whereas wind and solar require 24-7 backup (usually gas, not included in these calculations).

I’d say the results are now in on that whole ten year-long “what if we allowed the deranged far right to dictate both the boundaries of free speech for themselves, and also for people they hate and work to harm” experiment, and it’s not looking so good for Britain

@earthFgardener Absolutely. The only attributable cause to any weather phenomena that is now allowed is CO2 emissions. Anyone that denies climate change is committing a crime against humanity. Climate change deniers are dangerous extremists.

@YaleE360 Fantastic research. It you take any given weather scenario it is attributable to CO2 emissions. Take your pick.

As thousands of people are forced to flee their homes amid devastating wildfires in France, Spain and Scotland, the climate emergency seems closer to people’s lives than ever. Despite this, governments around the world are seemingly rolling back their efforts to end the fossil fuel pollution that is driving the climate emergency.

@PaulSchleifer Margaret Thatcher was an advocate of 'Green' policies. Ronald Reagan was a hero of the US environmentalists. Climate was used as a propaganda tool to create a new focus in the period that Gorbachev dismantled the USSR. You really are very gullible. nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/…

Neoliberalism: sold as freedom, delivered as oligarchy. Tax cuts don't spur growth. Deregulation doesn't spread wealth. Austerity doesn't work. The evidence was always clear. Time to move on. currentaffairs.org/news/neolibera…

@ret_ward You're absolutely right. In answer to your question 'Why are the anti-net-zero lobby so undemocratic?': because the fossil fuel giants make sure that climate deniers are well-paid for their dangerous lies.

Pure nonsense. The Climate Change Act was passed by Parliament, as were the carbon budgets. And Labour won a landslide at the General Election with a manifesto pledge to deliver net zero. Why are the anti-net-zero lobby so undemocratic?
David Turver@7Kiwi

It isn't just the Climate Change Act that enforces Net Zero. The law fixes the destination, Carbon Budgets set the pace, delivery plans divide the burden, spatial plans allocate geography and regulators authorise the spending. Beyond democratic control. A thread 🧵 (1/n)

@ryankatzrosene LMFAO.. I can't.. you literally point to solar activity to explain medieval warm period but refuse to accept it as a more likely explanation for current warming, despite almost perfect correlation... truly amazing mental gymnastics

Wild how climate skeptics point to the Medieval Climate Anomaly as some sort of “gotcha” about anthropogenic warming: 1) We know it was probably caused by high solar activity combined with relatively low volcanic activity and was likely regional; 2) It was absolutely awful… do we really want to see such historic agricultural droughts again? theconversation.com/drought-water-…
