Angry Pollyanna

A furious but optimistic woke, progressive secularist and proud MD ANT! Still absolutely livid about Brexshit, angry at the state of politics and horrified at the climate emergency.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The outcome was inevitable. But like "2-Tier", "De-Banking", "Family Voting" - the grandstanding was never designed to highlight an actual issue. It was to bolster conspiracy theories & gobble up column inches. Col inches that might otherwise have been populated with Qs about George Cottrell.

How about politicians, Nigel? Do you think that MPs and party leaders who consort with and promote rapists and paedophiles should also be jailed ... meme via The Raging Left

Measuring the country’s wealth based on the number of million and billionaires created, is a false indicator. The level of poverty, homelessness, unemployment and access to crucial public services like healthcare, or lack thereof, is a more accurate barometer by which to gauge.

Hunt: "We've grown much wealthier as a country since the 80s" 1970s Britain owned its utilities, millions of council houses, had a huge oil/gas reserve & a national debt of £80bn. Now? No assets & £2.9tn national debt We havent got richer. Jeremy & his mates have at our expense

So much for a fresh start with Burnham. New oil and gas won't cut bills or make Britain more energy secure. But they will lock us into more climate damage. It's time to invest in clean energy, warm homes and the jobs of the future - not to double down on the fuels of the past.

NO
NEW
OIL + GAS

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

Nigel Farage was absent for a significant number of votes, including a stretch of 77 consecutive votes over approximately 11 weeks, covering motions on crime, pensions, immigration!!

¡Felicidades! To Spain on winning the world cup. It's a shame it was the grubbiest world cup ever, but their victory is well deserved. An honourable mention though, to Argentina's Romero who snubbed Trump by refusing his handshake. Class.

England & Wales water firms lose 2.87bn litres a day, 20% of all water pumped through network. Hosepipe ban would save 577m(4%) litres a day. Violating hosepipe ban is a criminal offence, potential penalty of £1,000. No water execs fined or prosecuted. No new reservoirs built since privatisation

Water firms in England and Wales ‘leak five times what hosepipe ban would save’

Greenpeace UK says 2.87bn litres lost daily, a fifth of all water pumped through network
