Labour already have a huge majority. Another Labour MP putting Thames Water "on notice" isn't going to lower our water bills or protect our rivers. Nationalise Thames Water. Vote Green on October 8th. 💚

While Andy Burnham dithers, @zackpolanski.bsky.social has been clear - @greenparty.org.uk would reverse the creeping privatisation of the NHS, kick Palantir out - and abolish the undemocratic House of Lords too.

The privatization of water, rail and energy firms has cost the British public dearly. @greenparty.org.uk would bring these utilities back into public hands. Essential services run for people rather than shareholders. It used to be normal; it can be again.

Hi @andyburnham.bsky.social, are you aware of this paper which is the best attempt to quantify how many tonnes of carbon emissions equate to one premature human death? Using the fossil fuel companies' estimates of Jackdaw and Rosebank's emissions, these facilities would kill around 60,000 people. 🧵

The science was right. In 1988, Dr Syukuro Manabe predicted the Mediterranean region, North Africa and Southern California would all dry out in summers due to rising levels of greenhouse gases. In 2021 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with two others for reliably predicting global heating.
