A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK. We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump. Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

It’s time to talk about a monarchy-free Britain. We need a serious, fair and informed debate about the monarchy and the democratic alternative. That alternative is a parliamentary system, taking what we have and making it democratic top to bottom. #AbolishTheMonarchy

@RepublicStaff I'm flabbergasted by the "rule" that MPs can't question the conduct of the royal family or king ... How is it a democracy if MPs aren't allowed to ask simple questions? (What are the royals afraid we'll ask?) Time's up for the whole farcical 'system'.

“It’s going to be more of a crisis than the passing of Princess Diana and more of a crisis than the abdication of 1936” Royal historian Professor Kate Williams tells @bbcpaddy that this is a “giant crisis” and “it’s just getting started” #Newsnight

It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.
Lewis Goodall@lewis_goodall

If charged, Andrew’s arrest is for the courts. But accountability is not. If it is to survive this crisis, the Royal Family must finally answer questions about how it conducts itself. My latest: The Humbling of the House of Windsor open.substack.com/pub/goodalland…

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family." Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?

It sickens me to see how this government has wasted its entire time in office on culture wars, scapegoating and self-inflicted scandals, while, as the current extreme sea surface temperatures suggest, we are racing towards planetary tipping points.

Really happy to stumble across Beat Takeshi's handprint in Asakusa's "スターの広場" / "Star Square" (think: mini version of Hollywood's Walk of Fame). I was honestly quite star struck ⭐️. Love #TakeshisCastle (enjoying the new season!) and his excellent movies.

Worker wages are being outpaced by inflation, causing a real-terms pay-cut due to the increased cost of basics. Workers didn't cause the cost-of-living crisis and shouldn't have to pay for it. The current inflation crisis is a result of corporate greed. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ta…

Its GREEDFLATION. What drives the inflation are NOT rising wages. They are not even keeping up with inflation. Rather its employers raising prices to boost profits. Politicians dare not offend their donors so they dont admit it. bit.ly/3HkSUlp
