You may not protest the bombing of babies without being arrested in your wheelchair and threatened with life in jail, but you can dress like a terrorist and protest the saving of refugee lives, with police staying home.
Golly, UK is in a bad way. Just awful.

Refuse, resist, protest: #NoNewOilandGas
Responding to media rumour that #UKGovt may allow yet another gas field to be exploited - holding out hope that #UKLabour gets the science before it's too late

@BBC Oh dear. How can I vote for the Greens at the next GE? #UKPolitics #UKLabour

I’ve always had time for #GordonBrown but I do get annoyed with Nu Lab centrism with passive assertions like “we’ve lost [a] sense of social obligation” rather than my view which is that neoliberal radicals have deliberately undermined & imposed economics inimical to social solidarity. He almost gets there a page later when discussing Murdoch press. Still, I’ll probably read his book

Oh dear. Lobbying is the other evil. The will of the electorate gets watered down or simply ignored. I’ve already had enough of this fella. #UKLabour #UKPolitics

Before you gear up on oil, getting CO2 out of the air now that we know burni g carbon will.end life on Earth, means the cost of CO2 removal is laid entirely at the door of oil selling nations.
Billions of tons CO2 at $Thousands a ton.
HELLO? Look.up. Oil selling nations bill is coming due.
Or we could walk.away, nice folks.

"Economic harm of CO2 pollution from Rosebank and Jackdaw forecast to far outweigh any boost to UK"
This is not rocket science. We've known it for at least the last fifty years. The problem is that our politicians, whether #SNP or #UKLabour, are too wrapped up in game-playing to understand any kind of science.

Because #UKLabour is a UK party, which believes it needs votes from Scotland to achieve a majority, it can't switch to supporting #ScotttishIndependence, so it cannot tack left and attract #LeftWing pro-independence voters (who are mostly pretty dissatisfied with the #SNP and would be easy to win).
Meanwhile, @ScottishGreens are not putting on a stellar performance either, and have sidelined their one real star, @lornaslater; so their progress will remain slow.

Consequently, as we see from the candidates left in #UKLabour's #Scottish leadership election, Labour isn't trying to challenge either #SNP or @ScottishGreens for the #LeftWing vote -- because they know the left strongly favours #ScottishIndependence -- so instead they're moving yet further right to try to poach votes off the #Conservatives and #LibDems.
>>>

Meantime, the other four parties which have an electoral presence -- #UKLabour, #ReformUKLtd, the #Conservatives and the #LibDems -- are left quarrelling over the roughly 48% of voters who are #unionists, and who skew heavily to older and incomer.

Here's the dilemma for #Burnham :
Lose fifty constituencies if he approves #Rosebank drilling, or lose all the #Donations and back-handers from the #FossilFuels lobby if he doesn't?

Over a month ago, I wrote to my Labour MP about signing EDM 240 to stop the Labour Trans Bathroom Ban.
I finally received a reply from him.
tldr: Vote Green.

These ugly excuses and placations are GREAT REASONS to abandonethe Labour Party and Join the Green Party

A climate strike is needed now. If you demonstrate you'll get arrested, because the UK is a recovering democracy, but mass staying home is an option.
Burnham and UKLabour REALLY want to get reelected.
Put green signs on all labour homes.
Byebye Labour Goodbye.
I had such hope for Andy.

What can I say… I like the cut of his jib. All that remains is to see how #Burnham will sail. He is certainly saying all of the right things to society at large and especially to those whose anger and frutrations require outlets, a safety valve to let off some steam, before *Repairs* begin. #AlboPM, *take note* if you value your legacy.
“In his first speech as prime minister on July 17, Burnham promised “good growth in every postcode”, saying his victory in the Makerfield by-election, which returned him to Westminster, was a call “on behalf of forgotten places everywhere up and down this country, for a return of the Labour they once knew”.
“We must recognise that this generation of politicians, myself included, have failed to challenge a political culture and an economic model that simply doesn’t work well enough for ordinary people.”
Burnham charts that failure to “a series of wrong-turns in the 1980s”.
“Four decades of the neoliberalism that began in the 1980s have not been kind to the places that built our party, nor to the communities across the UK in rural and coastal areas,” he said.
“Political power was centralised and economic power was privatised.”

I've just finished this and I've got to admit, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. For a political book about a short-lived goverment from 100 years ago, it's really accessible.
Definately one to read if you're in anyway interested in #UKPolitics or #UKLabour.

Hey Burnham
History has turned to you.
End oil.
Your responsibility, our common human responsibility is to Close the North Sea.
Not expand or continue. Close.
Close the North Sea oil wells.
Build Solar and Wind as if they
were Tanks and Ships for War.
