    Hurtling forwards towards ruinous climate emergency, and backwards to a return to conflict in N Ireland. Brexit is a reactionary response to the crisis of late capitalism, while climate change is the result of that crisis.

    Transport is the single biggest cause of GHG emissions in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Only one of these leaders governs a sector with attacks on workers, cuts to services and rising ticket prices. Shameless greenwashing. Fight for and genuine democratic public ownership.

    The voices of young people like ⁦⁩ and ⁦⁩ must be heard loudly and clearly at - the next few days should not be comfortable for leaders, the responsibility to act must be felt.

    Impossible to argue with this.

    Anyone angry about the strike in Glasgow should be directing it at an arrogant & out of touch council leadership & the Scottish Gov, not the workers. We applauded these workers & called them heroes through the pandemic. They are fighting for fairer pay & better services.

    Saving the planet is now a cult. The Thatcherite wing of the trade union movement speaks.

    This stuff is tedious. She’s an admirable young woman, for sure. But let’s not pretend that the movement around her hasn’t become something of a cult.

    Green-sounding rhetoric is now the trend. Cop26 will be a lesson in greenwashing. It will provide a way for nation states and the fossil fuel companies who created the climate crisis to present themselves as being part of the solution.

    @ the airport on the way to go to - the land of the Sandinistas. The flight will take 25 hours with all the transit stops + costs more than double a normal flight because the U.S empire wouldn't allow me to transit. Nonetheless, very grateful for this opportunity 🙏🏿

    This may be rather controversial, but to my mind the solution to the climate crisis will not be , it will be revolution. The world leaders congregating in Glasgow are the problem not solution.

    This response angers me. Glasgow IS being let down and those of us fighting to improve the city are NOT talking it down. Campaigners care about the city, are often the people who "make" Glasgow what it is and we welcome the support of

    So this just happened in a pharmacy in Spain, La Manga and getting my prescription. They wanted to charge me €128 for mine. The Polish chap next to me was charged €4.50 for his. The pharmacy said it was because we are not part of the EU anymore.
