💚 Bernadette currently works with householders across Exeter to tackle fuel poverty & has seen first-hand how many local people struggle with the costs of energy, food, rent & mortgages. 🟩 🟩This experience will make her an excellent addition to the ward's existing two Green councillors. #VoteGreen

Reflecting on Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV on how much has changed over the last two years since this photo with @lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk was taken. Love and solidarity today for my trans friends and work colleagues and a reminder to myself to keep calling out the rising tide of transphobia.

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive £2.7bn per year in tax breaks www.standard.co.uk/news/politic... 🧵...

“It’s clear that a lack of ambition by Stagecoach to increase passenger numbers is bypassed by an easier route to generate profits. So if they can carry 10 passengers paying £5 each rather than 20 passengers paying £2 each, they'll carry fewer passengers if this means more revenue.”

#Venezuela has vast reserves of oil & gas. #Greenland likely does too, as well as rare earth minerals. Putin's emissary Kirill Dmitriev is now hailing the prospect of joint US/Russian exploitation of the Arctic. The Trump-Putin Axis is fossil fuel kleptocracy on steroids.
BBC: Beyond mineral resources, scientists estimate that Greenland has enormous reserves of oil and natural gas. Since the 1970s, oil and gas companies have tried to find ancient reservoirs off the coast of Greenland, but their attempts turned up empty. Still, Greenland's continental shelf geology does show similarities to other fossil fuel sites in the Arctic.

Great to hear Jacinda Ardern's thoughts today, alongside Katie White MP's & Rain Newton-Smith's, on how we rebuild the climate consensus. A big part of it is fairness - making sure those who contributed most to global warming take responsibility, and everyone benefits from the green transition.

15 years ago today the Tory & Lib Dem government tripled tuition fees. Young people, our economy and society are robbed of the learning and skills universities offer- whilst graduates face average debt of £53,000. Education should be a right, not a privilege. Scrap tuition fees.
