Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president.
She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.
Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

We have to change our language/attitude/assumptions. Nature is n't a 'thing', it's our kin, we have to stand with it agaist all that is unwelcome - money, profit, etc
That’s moral, legal, health, economic, umpteen other reasons ⬇️.
Why not straightforward caring for the quality of our environment.

It said it was starving Gaza over and over again.
It has done so systematically - with the full complicity of the West.

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle.
But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵
