The Conservatives have announced that their members will elect a new Prime Minister via online ballot. This is the same Conservative Party which made it illegal for unions to hold strike ballots online. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

#KamiKwasi’s reckless budget means that: 📈 We are all facing higher prices 🏡 People can’t get mortgages 💷 Businesses can’t afford to borrow to invest 📉 The economy is being pushed into recession 🚨 Absolutely disastrous for all except the super-rich 🚨

Welcome to morally bankrupt Britain. Where bankers can earn eye watering bonuses, fracking companies are allowed to bribe local communities, tax system works for richest & punishes the poorest, & growing corporate profits at any cost is seen as virtuous #Shameful #BankersBudget

In 2019 @PhilipHammondUK, then chancellor, claimed going net zero by 2050 would cost the UK more than £1 trillion, hinting the country couldn’t afford this. This study shows the opposite: Switching to renewables could SAVE the world £10.2 trillion by 2050 bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

The question every single person who says we need an interest rate rise has to answer is “How will a rate rise help a family in fuel poverty who can’t feed their children?” If they can’t explain that they have no right to demand the increase.

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods. @R0b1et @UniRdg_water

Our analysis reveals that soaring wholesale gas prices are behind 96% of the increase in UK hhold bills between last summer and next spring So basically all of it Green levies, meanwhile, will fall below 3% of bills A picture's worth a 1,000 words: 8/ carbonbrief.org/analysis-why…

Soaring bills are going to put incredible pressure on hhold spending, with AVERAGE homes facing energy costs equivalent to 13% of outgoings By far the highest on record, totally overshadowing the 2010s & easily eclipsing the 1970s oil price shocks 3/ carbonbrief.org/analysis-why…

Staggering new chart from the IMF. We all know that increasing energy costs hit low income households hardest, but in the UK that impact will be the second biggest in the world, and the differential with the best off will also be the biggest. What is the gov’t going to do?

The @TheGreenParty have surpassed the amount of councillors that UKIP had in their peak. They were never off the TV. Yet we've not been on Question Time once this entire year so far. Fair representation is apparently two Tories & an ex Tory on the same panel. #InviteTheGreens
On Question Time tomorrow night, Fiona will be joined by @CPhilpOfficial, @wesstreeting, @LaylaMoran, @RoryStewartUK and @tomhfh. Join us and a studio audience from Dorking at 10.40pm. #bbcqt
