Couldn't agree more with Mark. The climate crisis needs action not new fossil fuel licenses. This is utterly bereft of any common decency for people and planet. This will do nothing to lower bills.
Reckless for the climate, useless for energy security this decision shows the UK is prepared to gamble with our future and it sends a message out globally that others can do the same 🔥🌍

See what the tattoo'd fuckwit fraternity who have adopted the wearing of balaclava's to hide their faces in case of recrimination seem to forget is that they are calling out the wrong people for all society's ills. Where as in France, Well they know who is ultimately to blame & that is
THE ELITE.
Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here.
All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes.
Christ he’s repulsive.
Robert Jenrick for Reform says that Royal Marines using "lethal force" on small boats could end it in days.
"Deploy the Royal Marines into the Channel. If they need to use lethal force then they'll be able to do so. I think the problem would come to an end within a matter of days."
I love this woman. If only her words could reach all human ears.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.
Wealthy want UK govt to ditch pensions triple lock, cut welfare spending.
Silence on corporate welfare
Oil/gas, water, energy profiteering
HMRC not collecting £59bn last yr
Poorest 20% paying higher proportion in income in taxes than the richest 20%.
It is always about hitting the poor, old, sick.
🇬🇧🏴 Wes Streeting says that “The Falklands are british because the Falkland Islanders choose to be british”
Mandelson’s wee pal will no doubt now recognise the right of Scots to vote for independence, as over 66% in Scotland choose to be Scottish, with only 8% choosing to be british
🏴🇪🇺😎
Why Scotland needs to leave this unequal uk union.
Rejoin the EU
Stand on our own, controlling our Own Economy, Environment & keeping our Wealth in Scotland, not wastemonster.
Who gives us Scraps, tell us what we can & cannot do.

England and its once mighty empire pulled in trillions for years…..
Yet here it is now trillions in debt.
Short of electricity.
Short of water.
Short of cash.
Yet they claim resource rich wee Scotland couldn’t survive without it?🤔
Seriously?😂🤣😂🤣😂🤔🤪
BBC’s decision NOT to broadcast the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow was political attack on Scotland. It was an insult to all of us who were proud to support the Games & welcome people. And it went well on a limited budget.
An attack on Scotland, Glasgow & the Scottish Govt to undermine our nation.
Biggest news story today isn’t the number of migrants crossing the channel, Andy Burnham’s early prisoner release dilemma, Princess Euginies birth, FIFA corruption, Ariana Grande’s break, Trump’s latest self inflicted woe. It’s BP doubling its profits because of the Iran War while the world suffers
France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting:
“The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.”
U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
BBC Scotland just told viewers that Sarwar brought "charisma" to the post of leader of the Labour party in Scotland.
Is this some different Anas Sarwar they're talking about?
The real Sarwar ran a quasi-presidential Holyrood campaign so lacking in charisma it took Labour to its worst ever result.
It’s about time that we accepted that the unionist fundamentalist politicians and media are fully engaged in a Political War against Scottish independence
We should never underestimate just how low Perfidious Albion will go in order to save its ‘precious union’

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
