Are MPs out of touch with their constituents?
*NEW* @ECIU_UK polling suggests maybe...
Just 19% of MPs think people in their constituency would support onshore wind in the local area
Reality is 77% people would support it.
Important stats in the thread.
Sadly won't get as much attention as blocking a motorway or throwing soup.

Climate change capitalists are blocking roads with their "Just Flood London" campaign.
Disgusting, but where are the police?

In that case, no one should welcome quantitative tightening: it is a weapon being used by the Bank of England to harm the people of this country. Economics rarely comes much nastier or more deceitful than this.

4. What is their consumption-based per capita footprint? This adjusts for emissions embedded in traded goods.

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

I have done a lot of Twitter threads of late on how worrying almost everything about the UK economy is, and for good reason. But I think it’s only fair to do one that says it really need not be like this. Read on….
730 empty dinner plates: Community group's food poverty protest.
Looks like a lot of plates, until you realise each one represents 10,000 hungry people in the UK.

In the US, public policy does not represent the views of 90% of voters. I'm guessing a similar study in the UK would show the same result.
@MakeVotesMatter - would #PR rather than #FPTP really change this?
Princeton study from 2014 found that voting had “virtually zero influence on public policy” (act.represent.us/sign/the-pr…).

My dancing is pretty awful. But it seems my #raindance might have made mother nature smile.
Rain! Finally!

🚨 SHOCKING: Top Conservative donor Lord Frost has openly called offshore wind turbines "medieval technology" and urged the next Prime Minister not to "hector" people on the need to "save the planet".
Renewables aren't medieval, but thinking climate change isn't serious is.
Need a fair plan for how we get out of the upcoming economic mess that will impact millions of people? This long thread has some reasonable ideas.

"We found that the overall upfront cost to replace all energy in the 145 countries which emit 99.7% of world CO2 is about $62 trillion.
"However, due to $11 trillion annual energy cost savings, the payback time for the new system is less than 6 years."

Genuine question . Could someone please post a link to a clear explanation of why the energy price caps are being increased . Because superficially it seems that it’s providing the suppliers with colossal profits and a counterproductive dependence on dirtier fossil fuels . Thanks
