If you are a Unite member and want more climate action (not less), look out for the ballot paper which should arrive in the next couple of days. Sharon Graham has argued for more drilling in the North Sea and briefed against Ed Miliband because of his work on net zero. Time to dump Sharon!

"The electrical installation course requires knowledge of algebra and trigonometry, plus mastery of a wiring regs handbook that is twice as long as Pride and Prejudice" Important read on vocational ed from 14. You need a really solid foundation in English, maths & science for many jobs in trades.

The problem with "parity of esteem"

Vocational education at age 14 is not the answer

Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.

Capitalism is increasingly toxic, accelerating ecological destruction, destroying human creativity, putting all power in the hands of the very worst people. Revolution is a necessity.

Well if you are former neo-Nazi you are welcome but if you support more action on climate change, Kemi will ban you as a Conservative election candidate #ToxicTories

Climate change is here, its killing our neighbours but most of Britain's media is passionate about extracting more oil and causing more harm. We need to put newspapers who love oil but hate our children in the bin!

Good stuff as usual from Zack, he has really raised the game for the Green Party when it comes to climate change!

I suspect that @unitesharon.bsky.social will win next week. But every vote against her helps. In Britain politicians and the media campaign to open up more drilling in the North Sea, union leaders like Sharon Graham who campaign for less action on climate, need to be challenged!

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.

Reform UK has received £24 million from oil and gas interests, accounting for more than two thirds of its total income, DeSmog can reveal. Led by Nigel Farage, the party is calling for new North Sea oil and gas drilling ahead of UK-wide elections in May on the ill-founded claim that it will cut energy bills. […]

Climate change activists have lost the last 8 elections. We can't afford to lose the next 8. We need a theory of monsters, to guide action to defeat the arsonists such as Trump who seem to be so popular in Latin America and Europe.
