eyehouse.bsky.social @eyehouse.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sadly, it doesn't seem to have a policy on phasing out nuclear energy any more. Are we rank and file members going to get an explanation for the change, or will we have to continue to search for a party that represents our views. 000
eyehouse.bsky.social @eyehouse.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Much more significant and serious IMHO, is the Green's climbdown on their opposition to Nuclear Power, just when its wide array of shortcomings are being so clearly exposed and when Big Oil is supporting nuclear as a tactic to delay the transition away from fossil fuels. 000
eyehouse.bsky.social @eyehouse.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Well it was all a bit clunky and you're right that it was a battle the Greens didn't need to fight now. But there do seem to be cogent arguments for understanding Israeli colonialism as racism, and whatever the drawbacks this will all add weight to Israeli gov's growing international opprobrium. 110

eyehouse.bsky.social @eyehouse.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why (for example) can't the government just instruct the BoE to create enough new money to fund a National Care Service? The stock answer is that it would be very inflationary. But inflation can be controlled by taxation. 001
