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.

As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Humanity's future depends on leaving fossil fuels in the ground. Hopefully this gives you a sense of why Jackdaw and Rosebank are a redline for many of us. If you approve them, it will leave a moral stain that you will never be able to scrub off. substack.com/home/post/p-...

And it's based on the fossil fuel companies' estimates of emissions, which the regulator says are too low. Plus there's a precedent at stake here. If Britain, with @EdMiliband as foreign secretary, won't leave fossil fuels in the ground, then what country will?

You may be thinking (hopefully not) that 60,000 isn't so many people killed compared to, say, the Iraq War. But that's 60,000 people killed by heat alone. It doesn't include additional deaths from related causes like malnutrition, malaria, dengue, flooding, climate-linked conflict...

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. 🧵

We're barely mitigating at all in the way that really counts: leaving fossil fuels in the ground (thank you for touching on this elsewhere in the interview). There's a strong chance we'll just burn every drop that is economic to access right? Andy Burnham certainly seems to be heading that way.

Even if we embarked on a sudden journey to net zero of the kind @xrglobal.bsky.social argued for, we'd still be looking at way more heating than we have today right? And that's if Mann and co. are right that heating will stop as we approach net zero. As you know, they may be wrong.
