Today, I confronted with UK 🇬🇧 Minister of Energy, Climate and Environment @ZacGoldsmith@twitter.com at #COP27.
I asked him, "When will you release those jailed climate activists your Govt. arrested for protesting to stop new oil & gas license across UK?"
He replied, "No idea" & run away!

@ParkinJim @SueASmith @skiptomyloulou The problem, is that in order to woo those voters, he’s ended up upsetting the Corbynistas, who seem obsessed with dragging him down with in-fighting, instead of focusing on the common enemy, until they’ve got them out of power.
I’m always saying to the Corbynistas, on the bird-site, “your No.1 jog is to get the Tories out. Then, and ONLY then, once Labour are in power, can we afford to start worrying about the purity of everyone’s socialist credentials”
@ParkinJim @SueASmith @skiptomyloulou You’re spot on Jim. I think a lot of the seemingly “Tory-lite” things Starmer has said lately, are all part of a ‘softly-softly-catchee-monkey’ approach to woo disgruntled working class Tories back to Labour. It’s not the perfect approach, but it’s possibly his best option at the present time. Same applies to his approach to Brexit.

Our loved ones are dying on trolleys in corridors because they cannot get a bed for treatment at A&Es.
The Tories shut 125 A&Es, mostly type threes, cutting the capacity of our A&Es and placing pressure on type one major hospitals.

So let's look at specific claims. Related to the election. These are the donations to PACs focused on the House for the 2022 election. 42 billionaires donated to the Rs PAC, a value nearly 4x that of what was donated by 17 billionaires to the Ds PAC. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/article/meet-the-billionaires-funding-the-battle-for-control-of-the-house-of-representatives/?sh=5aee1c2124c9#anchorTag-1-633f414b3da3a80001bd6d69
@ParkinJim @SueASmith @skiptomyloulou exactly, to effect change, has to be elected first. Once elected will need more than one term. So the sensible planner needs to play the long game. Hopefully back, but the terms will be very different to what we had.
@ParkinJim @SueASmith @skiptomyloulou Great point, well made. Small steps with the end game being rejoin
@ParkinJim @SueASmith @skiptomyloulou agree, no reason there can't be a grass roots campaign to rejoin but Starmer is walking a tightrope because the majority of the media supports Brexit and is desperate to deflect attention away from the absolute failure it is.
just so you know, i'll be tooting relentlessly about #TacticalVoting
Hope that's ok, hope that's why you followed me :)
It's the simplest way to win the next election.
No one can stop you doing it.
Nobody has to negotiate anything.
Are you with me? 🙌
And then we switch to relentlessly telling the next government what we came for: #ProportionalRepresentation
That's it. That's the plan.

Point of Brexit was deregulation, a libertarian exit from democracy and all accountability. 3rd country UK screams 'We are a capital hungry emerging economy!' but to the wrong investors, those with brutal HR records, Tories want out of ECHR, wonder why?

Chris Bryant - I have a real sense of anger when people say mistakes have been made.. it's a weasel term.. the Tories should apologise & say Britain is broke... £37b was wasted on test & trace.. £9b wasted on PPE that couldn't be used & £4b on PPE that ended up being burnt..

Have a look at the catastrophic data in the latest NHS KPIs below and tell me where the “efficiencies” are going to come from.
RT @Kit_Yates_Maths@twitter.com
There's no other way to say it.
The NHS is falling apart.
Almost all the latest Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are bad.
Most of them are getting worse.
Surely things can't go on like this?
