The misconception that renewable energy is costlier than fossil fuels is outdated.
Since 2010, solar and wind energy costs have plummeted due to technological advancements, making #ClimateAction more affordable.

Congress of Business (COB25) met yesterday to discuss turning sustainability strategies.
Unfortunately Barclays sponsored the event. So XR Glasgow decided to picket the event and supply all the delegates with a leaflet outlining how committed Barclays is to a sustainable future💚

Here's a question. Why, in almost all reports on Blair's statement, have his fossil fuel interests not been mentioned?

I had a right old rant about Tony Blair's ignorant, self-interested statement on The Jeremy Vine Show today. I mentioned that he has worked as a lobbyist for PetroSaudi, earning Tony Blair Associates £41,000/month, plus 2% of any deal he brokered.

What's the war criminal been up to now....
Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying

The UK Labour government is plunging 250,000 people into poverty with their cruel cuts.
Poverty isn't inevitable, it's a political choice.
It's time for real change. It's time to tax the rich.

At its height, it's been estimated that one in every eight pounds spent in Glasgow went through the city's cooperative societies, meaning much of the wealth generated in Glasgow remained within the local economy rather than being drained away from it.

The evidence is damning: there’s been $600 billion in climate-attributable insured weather losses this century.
That’s $30B per year - and accelerating.
For 15 major insurers, these losses now exceed what they earn from fossil fuel underwriting. [2/8]

Here we have it - no investment, no redistribution of wealth, just more of the same from Starmer's Labour that we had under the Tories.
No wonder the right are thriving, Labour are leaving the door wide open for them. If it wasn't already clear - fresh left perspectives needed.
