Looking forward to filling a trolley at SAINSBURYS then telling a manager hope he enjoys putting it back on the shelf
This is what #Sainsburys is funding and aligning with by advertising on GB News' YouTube channel: the platforming of anti-abortion voices. Is the brand happy to do this?

Here's a chart of the marginal tax rate for someone with two kids. They pay 53% tax on every £ they earn between £60k and £80k. 62% on every £ they earn between £100k and £125k.
9% more if they've a student loan

Back in September, Banksy painted a powerful image of a judge striking down a protester on the Royal Courts of Justice.
They scrubbed it off, but they can’t make us forget. And they can’t stop us from wearing it.

Reminder that, of the identified UK funding to Tufton St. think tanks, around 46% of the money going to these "impartial" organisations comes from foundations run by, or with a Tory peer sitting on the board of trustees.
They don't declare their donors, and almost all hold dire transparency ratings

Any energy efficiency expert would agree with this summary
I’m afraid I’ve heard enough to take this seriously - No.10 is thinking of abolishing ECO, the main source of funding for upgrading fuel poor homes.
There’s no way to sugar coat this: it would be a disaster.
And it would mean this government spending less on upgrading homes than the last one

And it would mean this government spending less on upgrading homes than the last one
To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦♂️
…and also, just incidentally, an absolute non-negotiable requirement for meeting UK climate targets 😬🥵☠️
