Great British Energy is a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis, strengthen our national security and protect our planet. Backed up by polling figures, renewable energy CEO's and Patrick Vallance - this is what credible climate action looks like.
Ed Miliband@Ed_Miliband

The Conservatives think we should only have public ownership of energy by foreign governments. Labour thinks that the British people should benefit from the drive to cheaper, clean power. Check out the website for Great British Energy here 👇 great-british-energy.org.uk

@MarkAvery Mark. Sorry to hear about your mum. Hope the sadmin isn’t too gruesome. She must have been a fair age since you are pretty old(!) so I hope long and happy memories comfort you. Would be good to see you sometime once you see your way clear. Thinking of you. Barbara

Fantastic to see Starmer give clear and robust vocal support to the Green Prosperity Plan, borrowing to invest to improve energy independence and lower energy bills. Bring it on, indeed! youtu.be/jmMqGx_4auo?si…

1/2 So that’s a wrap! I can’t leave the EA without paying tribute to the amazing EA staff. They perform miracles everyday - sometimes under very difficult circumstances - and often without the credit they deserve - we’re lucky to have them…

If the Conservatives want to fight the next election against long-term investment in well-paid jobs of the future, then that's fantastic news for Labour - bring it on! But Labour have to remain crystal clear about their commitment to these plans. Wavering will not help.

Alas, this is the wrong lesson to have taken from this week's #AutumnStatement. The GPP is THE way to help Labour meet its fiscal goals in government. £28bn a year to boost the economy, create the jobs of the future and create real growth 🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Dignity in Dying
Dignity in Dying@dignityindying·
The UK’s blanket ban on assisted dying is failing terminally ill people. They face a stark choice: suffering, suicide, or travel to Switzerland to die on their own terms. It's just not right. Agree? Join the campaign to legalise assisted dying in the UK.
