Where is the Centre ground in British politics? I'd say it's between the woke Liberals, and those denying poor children should get free school meals, (in fact all children should get a free nutritious mid day meal). #FreeSchoolMealsForAll

@catherinerowett Interesting to see a breakdown of renewables infrastructure based on company size. I suspect it's geared towards large corporations, there are likely few <5 acre community solar projects, the bulk of infrastructure expenditure is likely to be in multi million £ windfarms.

Since when were "power giants" the renewables companies? What is the matter with the Guardian?

Natalie Bennett has always known what a hero @alisonclareteal is! @SheffieldGreens membership know how lucky they are to have her as their Parliamentary Candidate. #RaiseUpTheWomen #LoveTreesLovePeople

@willydixon @YvetteHenson @Ed_Miliband Yes, all available roof spaces should be used, where practical and where it doesn't harm the intrinsic beauty of the area. But putting solar in fields is cheaper.

@twose_brian @YvetteHenson @Ed_Miliband They would be better off putting it on roofs

It is remarkable that during an energy crisis, Liz Truss opposes cheap, homegrown power for Britain. This reckless decision will keep energy bills high and make our country less energy secure. ft.com/content/c40c33…

@guffynicola @dugraha @TerribleMaps @DisgruntledPat1 Unpicking history, can lead us in many different directions. But before Japan had felt they were humiliated by the aftermath of WW1, and moved closer to the German orbit, they very much respected and wanted to be the British of the South Pacific.

@twose_brian @dugraha @TerribleMaps @DisgruntledPat1 If GB were next to Japan, wouldn’t Japan have invaded it hundreds of years ago and treated it like Ireland?

If Great Britain was located next to Japan

@cyrilmitchell23 @abholymoly It's Russisn involvement in the 2014 Scottish referendum, the possibility of Alex Salmond offering Putin Scottish bases. And the fact, that English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish are a common people, who should not create borders.

Why are English nationalists so concerned about Scotland being independent? Is it our well being that concerns them or is it something else? BTW Europe's oldest country, hundreds of years before England, Europe's oldest crown jewels and flag, independent for 1000 years 1707

@YvetteHenson @willydixon @Ed_Miliband This is not about putting solar panels on all fertile fields, this is tiny fraction of fields, and farming can co-exist with solar.

@Ed_Miliband Covering all our fertile arable land with solar panels is ridiculous. You should be supporting workers. Tenant farmers get thrown off so that capitalist land owners can make money by replacing humans and crops with these things.

@dugraha @TerribleMaps @DisgruntledPat1 Singapore wouldn't have fallen, the Empire would have lasted longer, the Nationalists would have beaten the Communists in China. And our weather would be very different.

@twose_brian @TerribleMaps @DisgruntledPat1 Maybe, but if GB had been next to Japan in 1941/2, pearl harbour wouldnt have happened....?

South Korea is working to tackle food waste. In 1995 only 2% of food waste was recycled. That number is now up to 95%. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #climate #Useless #WasteLess #FoodWaste #GreenNewDeal

Heartbreaking article about the impact of the cost of living crisis on disabled people and their families. No-one should be left in this position. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/m…

Only #women . “All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother. Our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother. Each of us spent 5 months in our grandmother’s womb, (1/2)

This goes directly against government policy & needs correction via guidance / regulation /law. Of course parents must have a right to scrutinise contentious materials taught by schools. @kitmalthouse

“Selling England By the Pound” (1973) — 'the erosion of traditional English culture by modern commercialism, consumerism, and materialism, & more broadly, the connections between mundane present & mythic past.' Quite prophetic 49 years later. The exploitation continues unabated:

@ledredman @GregHands Believing in infinite growth on a finite Planet is dangerous and delusional thinking.

Far from having “crashed” the economy, unemployment remains at a near 50 year low! #RealityCheck #FactCheck

@GregHands Maybe an infographic showing what a typical male breadwinner could buy for his earnings in 1974, and how much they could save out of their wages. Compared with a couple both working full time today. #WorkDoesNotPay

@ClimateDad77 @NeilSalter4 Come up with detailed viable alternatives to create well planned sustainable towns, and take those to the people.

@ClimateDad77 @NeilSalter4 There's nothing wrong with driving, or owning a car. The problem arises simply with the sheer numbers of cars on the roads, and the fact, infrastructure for the car, has dominated post war town planning. As for protesting these protests are getting tedious. 1/

Believing driving is a human right but protesting for a liveable future isn’t. That’s where this self-oriented, consumerist, fossil fuelled culture has brought us.

@LancastrianJosh @IanBFAWU It's worrying that the federation of schools have taken this knee jerk reaction. We are seeing the noose tighten on public discourse, we should be very worried for the future.

@Simonde_groot @AlStewartOBE @destinyangel5 Just listened to the interview, it's clear she was refering to the party, and likely Westminster Tory MP's, rather than its voters. From her perspective, I think it's reasonable. Just as I might say I despise the SNP, for trying to break up the UK, and its attack on the family.

@twose_brian @AlStewartOBE @destinyangel5 But even to "despise", what is in effect, probably over a third of the population, is surely an unhealthy place to be??...If it were me, I would be examining my philosophy and try and evolve my way of thinking...🤔

To say you despise your political opponents, or dismiss them as scum, is to debase democratic politics.
