More bus services cut! This means people in the country must have a car: how does that match the green agenda? Did no one think of that?

The vast majority of new oil & gas will be exported abroad & sold at global prices. It won't improve our energy security, and it won't make our energy bills cheaper either. What it will do is wreck our climate - and Rishi Sunak is complicit in its damage. Spot on @ZackPolanski 👇

With inflation set to remain high, UK pensioners could receive a 'sizeable' increase next year due to the triple lock policy.
Yet, 500,000 British pensioners will once again be excluded, leaving them to face increasing financial hardship as their state pension declines in value.

Glitzy ads from fossil fuel giants can no longer conceal climate criminal behaviour – polluting the planet, raking in record profits & sanitising their image. The mask has finally been removed, but this greenwashing was allowed to spread for far too long.

The Frozen Pensions policy has turned this year’s 10.1% boost to State Pensions into a postcode lottery as 500,000 British pensioners living overseas miss out. Some will lose up to £6,000 this year alone.
It is time for the Government to #EndFrozenPensions

Young people should not be saddled with a lifetime of debt just because they want to get an education.
Abolish tuition fees, restore maintenance grants and deliver free education for all.

Sunak stands there at #PMQs and talks about "more" children being able to access an NHS dentist, as though children going to the dentist is a "nice to have"
This is the state of things after 13 years of Tories, dental check ups for children not guaranteed - it's shameful

🚨The North Sea is a climate crime scene. Oil giants are spilling 164,000 barrels of oil into UK seas every year, polluting oceans & killing wildlife. Yet this accomplice Govt is granting permits to pollute in *Marine Protected Areas*. This can’t go on.

Dirty, toxic air is polluting the planet & threatening lives. For Govt's Air Quality Strategy to deliver clean air for all, it needs vital input of local councils, action groups & the public - yet its consultation is open for just *10 days*. What a sham.

Statement by @peterbevanbaker on mistreatment of Island nurses by Dennis King.
"In 2019, King promised he would negotiate collective agreements in good faith and in a timely manner. Like most of his healthcare promises, they were broken before they were even spoken."

Confirmed Govt policies don't even cover *a third* of carbon reductions to reach net zero targets. "Ambition" & "consultation" aren't enough, we need policies & delivery - solar rooftop revolution, unblock onshore wind, kick out fossil fuels for starters

Now we’re properly thro Alice’s Looking Glass - rebranding nuclear as “environmentally sustainable” doesn’t make it so - and for an industry that still has no idea how to safely dispose of waste that remains radioactive for centuries to come is beyond ludicrous #Budget2023

Hunt seems to be in alternate reality - totally forgotten the public sector pay crisis. He gives huge tax breaks to big business & lets greedy fossil fuel giants off the hook with windfall tax loopholes – yet *still* can't give public sector workers a decent pay rise #Budget2023

Unbelievable listening to the chancellor claim the Govt are lifting children out of poverty - a government responsible for 3.9m children living in poverty in UK, that's 27% of children. #SpringBudget #Budget2023

With up to 36yrs’ worth of global carbon emissions stored in the Boreal Forest in Canada, conserving the forest is one of the biggest nature-based climate solutions we have. Here’s how Indigenous-led conservation is helping protect it, and in turn, ensuring a healthier planet.

Staggering complacency from Minister on air pollution just now. Says her “evidence” suggests 2030 target for reducing pollutant PM2.5 is unachievable. Yet apparently she can’t publish evidence as it’s going through Govt “process”. Their utter incompetence is putting lives at risk
