Trump, Farage are agents of a fossil fuel industry fighting to keep its dominance. To stop the culture wars, we must face the crisis head-on. The National Emergency Briefing on #climate & #nature will put MPs & leaders in front of the unfiltered science: risks and solutions 🌍🔥 🧵1/3

On Wednesday 24th Sept, 7pm, join trade unionists and climate activists to hear what's planned for a global mobilisation on 15th November during COP30 and a workplace day of action on 14th November - and more to come in a year of trade union climate action.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

It is notable that the biggest British business success story of the past 20 years is vocally and unapologetically pro-renewables, built on clean tech innovation, and wants ambitious climate action. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519235...

'Green-hushing' might make a certain risk-averse sense for many organisations, but the UK's most successful major business right now is deliberately taking a very different approach.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... This is no surprise, and there are solutions... most obviously the #lobbyists should be thrown out. The alternative, is that every industry lobbyist has to be balanced by an academic or campaigner, both with equal (and controlled) access. Cont'd @galba.uk

Carbon capture schemes are being pushed by fossil fuel interests. Why? First, so they can benefit from tax credits and government funding. But mostly to slow down the energy transition and prolong our dependence on fossil fuels. Here are the receipts: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This by @johnharris1969.bsky.social crystallises the feelings of dread I've been having about the prospect of a Farage government. Think about what it'd mean for the NHS, state education, the BBC, climate change. But then pick yourself up and *fight like hell.* www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Rightwing populists all over Europe want to destroy the ability of the UK and the EU to regulate large tech platforms — a move that might threaten their disinformation campaigns with genuine political debate.” They use disingenuous claims of censorship to protect the tech companies.

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage 25% tax rather than HR

Farage, describes tax avoiders as the ‘common enemy’ while using a private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings and purchasing property in his partners name. We know who the enemy is Nigel.

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

“Farage has given two contradictory versions – one that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second one is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign.” – @goodlawproject.org https://bit.ly/4m81Zzt
