Helen CzerskiI look forward to the day when we have to explain the oil industry to the next generation in the same way that our history teachers explain that yes, it used to be common to use lead in makeup, to smoke on planes, and to teach workers using radioactive paint to lick their brushes.
Richard MurphyLabour is promoting the household analogy that suggests it will be constrained when in office by a lack of money – and that is not true https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/10/09/labour-is-promoting-the-household-analogy-that-suggests-it-will-be-constrained-when-in-office-by-a-lack-of-money-and-that-is-not-true/.

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?
I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious.

The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...
Please #Conservatives - just go now. You're spent. You're damaging the country. It's beyond a farce. Just get out. #StopTheToffs

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayI see #RishiSunak wants #green policies to be 'proportionate'.... when Southern Europe & North America are on fire, & #Africa and Asia are under water you might think a proportionate response would be to ratchet up moves on #netzero.... but no, Rishi doesn't want to 'hassle' #voters.
Well, it'll be a lot more hassle when their houses are on fire before disappearing below the flood waters, but hey, that'll happen after the next election so lets give that can another kick down the road
IDIOCY!
Greenpeace InternationalThere is no economic growth on a dead planet.
Pass it on.
Watching #primeministersquestions and Oliver Dowden is appalling isn't he?
Emma KennedyWell. I think Threads is shaping up nicely. If you're heading that way and signing up, I'm @emmak67 over there.
Paula KirbyJust when you think the UK cannot sink any lower. This is just beyond words. Utterly incomprehensible. Horrifying. Shameful.
There are some seriously sick people in this Tory government.
