This weekend, I'll be in #Morecambe with other inclusive Christians to pray, witness and challenge a vile #ChristianNationalist conference, which is peddling far-right doctrine under the name 'Make Great Britain Christian Again'. Here's why I'm going.

Carbon capture lives like a dream in the heads of politicians who want to keep going with fossil fuels. Is there any evidence that it’s a reality? projects.propublica.org/why-…
Two line charts. One shows projections for increases in carbon capture capacity, which the actual carbon storage line hasn’t reached in 15 years. The other shows projections for solar electricity production, every single one of which has been outperformed by actual solar electricity production.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Trump's advocacy for ethnic cleansing in Gaza - while hosting a man wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity - must not be ignored by Labour. The Government must defend international law, and reiterate Palestinians' right to self-determination.
"The forced movement of a people from their homeland is ethnic cleansing. The people of Gaza are not obstacles to be removed; they are human beings with the right to live with dignity, security, and self-determination. Britain, and our international allies must today respond in the strongest terms condemning Trump’s reckless remarks." Ellie Chowns MP, North Herefordshire Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of the Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ.

🧵5) ‼️Do not be fooled by Labour/Tory false narrative of we need to build more-they’ve done nothing, nothing to stem the flow of global property speculators owning millions of homes already built left empty as buy-to-leaves; 2nd homes; buy-to-lets; holiday rentals etc.

I’m going back to my hotel in New York. With a Muslim Pakistani American cab driver… who voted for Donald Trump because “the prices were too high” under Biden

I just came back from Florida which is Trumpland. I asked those who were so pro-Trump why they were voting for him and I pretty much got the same response. "He's strong, the economy was better under him and he will control the boarders." I challenged them on the economy, policy and his political record. I figured out most voters are 'lazy voters' as in they only tune into soundbites - not that they are actually lazy. More so a person who only taps in and hears things from now and again. That term was coined by someone else. This exists in nearly every county. The people I talked with didn't understand economics. They didn't understand inflation was a global thing. They didn't get that nearly every country in the world has experienced the same as the US since COVID. It seemed they live in a bubble where all that matters to them is what happens in their every day lives. Didn't care about Russia, Ukraine or Palestine/Isreal. They just wanted an easy life similar to 2019 which to them was when "America Was Great" They want to wake up, get on with their lives and not worry about politics. The candidate who offered that got their vote. #Trump #Trump2024 #KamalaHarris2024 #Harris2024 #USAElections @elonmusk #voteUSA #USAElections

Warwick District residents are the first in the country to be able to recycle soft plastics in their blue-lidded bin or red box. But when we say 'soft plastics', what do we actually mean? We took our bins on a tour of the District to see if our residents knew.

A 2% tax for wealth above £10m would raise £24bn a year for public services & help build a fairer, more sustainable economy That's why I joined 30 cross-party MPs urging the Chancellor to introduce a wealth tax on the very richest & not cut services in next week's #Budget2024 theguardian.com/politics/202…
Cross-party MPs urge Reeves to impose 2% tax on wealth above £10m

Millions of pounds of our money has been wasted by Nuneaton Tories starting projects, doing £100,000 of design work & then scrapping them. They did it with Museum, Bridge to Living, Nuneaton to Coventry rail upgrade, Nuneaton Flood defence & now cycling. fiets.uk/2024-10-20/county-c…

The former Chairman of the UWCA has claimed that the new Chairman, Lewis Wakefield, is in the video published in the Sunday Times. Lewis Wakefield has been pictured canvassing in 2024 for @Marcus4Nuneaton, Jeremy Wright, @jackmrankin, @JamesUffindell, @seccombephilip and others. Troubling if true.
