Proud that @wearepossible.bsky.social has signed this letter to the chancellor, with the energy industry & many other NGOs.
It is crucial for our climate goals and for families and households across the UK that the Budget does not cut investment in warm homes.

So it’s a key time to be making the case about why our work is so important. And I honestly can't really think of a time when our work has been more needed.

In light of the cis supremacy ruling in the supreme court I send love and solidarity to all trans people. I feel so useless, but know my rage. I’m so sorry at the cruelty shown towards you in the UK, within your families, on the streets, at work, in healthcare, by our government and the judiciary.

This may be the most surprising, entertaining and educational short-form messaging social media thread I have ever read
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Energy security is national security.
GB Energy can help deliver both by scaling homegrown clean power.
If the Chancellor is to cut spending, it’ll leave Britain less secure & more exposed — with households facing higher bills & the betrayal of a popular manifesto commitment.

There are no shortcuts in the fight for an economy which delivers climate and social justice goals.
That’s the life lesson I've learned thanks to Rachel Reeves’ comments at Davos last week.

NEW: How much wealth is too much?🤔
In partnership with @patrioticmillionaires.org we've published a new report exploring the case for an Extreme Wealth Line. We spoke to politicians, policy makers and millionaires to get their thoughts on the concept - here's some of what we found.
