#ClimateCrisis is a top concern for people in UK. Reminds us of #ZeroHour bill in parliament @CarolineLucas
@DuncanKer speaks first. @TheGreenParty will act on #climatecrisis & has local track record. #green town council in #Oswestry is making life better. Vote for what you believe in. Want green #votegreen.
One thing I think is wrong about the outcry re: shortages is the assertion that to replace (for example) #EU lorry drivers, we just need to “train more of our own”. To me this epitomises how #Brexit, although many things, is about entrenching class, race and gender imbalances.
2/3 of the two lowest social classes voted for #Brexit. But they only accounted for 40% of the vote suggesting elite and middle class voters were far more critical in ensuring Britain left the EU. Now that we have shortages of low skill and low income workers, where do we turn?
Not to the other main #Brexit cohort, the elderly, and not to the children of the middle or upper classes. Implicit in the argument that we need to “train our own” is that it will be the children of poor people (disproportionately non-white) who will take these jobs.
@PreetKGillMP @XRuob @unibirmingham @CEEbill_NOW Dear @PreetKaurGill,
For over three months myself and fellow students at @unibirmingham , have been attempting to engage with you on the Climate and Ecology Bill. In response to our first Twitter contact with you, on 26th March, you invited us to email you.

@PreetKGillMP @XRuob @unibirmingham @CEEbill_NOW @preetkaurgill We've written to you twice since then, waiting a month between each one, but have had no response. We also called your office, but they gave no assurance that you would respond any time soon. We feel disappointed to have been given the cold shoulder.
@PreetKGillMP @XRuob @unibirmingham @CEEbill_NOW @preetkaurgill The CE Bill was reintroduced in Parliament on 21st June. This strengthened Bill will fill the gaps in existing climate policies, which are outdated, fragmented and do not tackle both climate and ecology synergistically. @ceebill_NOW #ceebill

Labour’s #NationalCareService
will end the national scandal of our Social Care sector.
Nearly £8bn has been taken from council budgets since 2010.
“It is right to end the care lottery and provide security and dignity in older age.”

“As the first building block in our #NationalCareService, the next Labour government will include personal care free at point of use in England.

Widening free provision would ease the burden on NHS hospitals by preventing delayed discharges, where vulnerable patients cannot leave hospital due to lack of care at home.

♦️COUNCIL HOUSING
A Labour Council will start building Council housing again. 🏘️
The failures of the Lib Dems and Tories have resulted in a housing crisis. The provision of genuinely affordable housing is our number one priority.

We will build more homes that are for people, not profit!
We will start building Council housing again and change the priorities of ADL, the Council’s wholly owned development company, so that more homes are built and rented out by the Council, not a housing association.
