Been out this morning canvassing voters in #Ladywell with the #GreenNewDealRising folks, good to be out in the community spreading a message of hope on this sunny spring day.
Now off to do some #TRE which is my latest effort to address my own underlying tension issues
"Instead of making our lives better, this government has been slashing vital support and turning a blind eye to the richest raking in record profits.
Enough is enough."
That’s why, on 4th July, #Avaaz is teaming up with #GreenNewDealRising for a day of action demanding that the super-rich PAY UP. To tax extreme wealth. To close corporate loopholes. And to fund the future we all deserve.

Green New Deal Rising on Instagram: "🚨 ANNOUNCING...our PAY UP Nationwide Day of Action 🚨
🗓️ On Friday 4th July, the one year anniversary of the General Election, we’re taking action across the UK to demand that the richest PAY UP. And we need everyone - groups, individuals, first time and long-time campaigners - to get involved and plan a 4th July PAY UP action.
Our generation is tired of being told there’s no money to build a better future while the super-rich stash away millions every single day. We’ve seen our bills skyrocket and watched our schools, hospitals and communities hollow out.
Instead of making our lives better, this government has been slashing vital support and turning a blind eye to the richest raking in record profits.
Enough is enough.
✊🏼 We’re taking the fight to towns and cities across the country to expose the super-rich and the corporations who are hoarding the wealth - and the politicians who let them.
Organisations and groups can sign up via the day of action supporter form and individuals can plan their own actions using our action guide - both links in our bio 🔗"

The IndependentFatima Ibrahim's #GreenNewDealRising is a very good thing, but this old cynic would like to see evidence of substantial youth interest in #GreenPolitics.
It's all very well for #GenZ to moan about #GenX and #Boomers like me, but it would be nice to see them turn away from their sodding smartphones, and get out there to vote and organise on a mass scale. If they did, there would be no #Tory party, and maybe #Labour wouldn't be so fucking useless.
