Is anyone seriously suggesting that Capitalism will prevent irrevocable climate change?

I wonder how many people would vote for Reform UK if they knew that 'Man-of-th-People Nigel Farage thinks services for the poorest people need to be slashed in order to pay for millionaires paying less tax ... "Local families are fuming......" via We Demand UK

Can you take 2 mins to respond to Ofwat's consultation to demand they BLOCK the water bill hike. If water companies can't survive without hiking our bills, let them go bust and bring them into public ownership. Deadline: midnight Thurs 24th Sept weownit.org.uk/NoBillHike

Ofwat: No to water bills hike, let them go bust - Respond by midnight on Thursday 24th September
Demand that Ofwat says no to bill hikes. Let water companies go bust and bring them into public ownership for nothing.

Around 40% of the world's dirty money, proceeds of corruption and crime, is laundered through the UK, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Successive govts promise new laws and enforcement but they make little impact. Why do govts continue to fail? Watch the Minister's reply.

Four years ago tomorrow was the Truss mini-budget. Every day another news story says Britain is under pressure from global instability. Why can’t we just build homes, and clean energy, with secure jobs? Turns out the answer is even better than I thought. See what you think. HostageNation.com

The BBC Reform propaganda story is rightly taking some flack. Don’t forget who is embedded in ‘our’ national broadcaster. What has the BBC done for me….its become a biased, uncritical Reform platform
