Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

​The huge energy required by cryptocurrencies is a global climate threat. Proof of Work mining is a competitive arms race to solve pointless math problems. It uses vast, continuous energy, often from fossil fuels. The result is a carbon footprint comparable to entire nations

The excellent Just Have a Think channel has given a very useful summary of the National Emergency Briefing on the Climate and Nature crisis. I urge people to sign the open letter to Keir Starmer and broadcasters to broadcast this vital information nationally.

The fact that the solutions for stopping global heating will actually make us much better off 👇👇 is seriously under-reported - and hasn’t reached many MPs.

I hope all MPs will attend the National Emergency Briefing on the interconnected #climate & #nature crisis.

There were over 40 journalists there, including I believe from the BBC. I know of at least one from a major media outlet who filed a report, that was then ignored by the editor, something I find deeply disturbing.

I thought the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster a few days ago was a staggeringly important event. I found Chris Packham's introduction quite moving. The full 9 presentations by experts should be out on the nebriefing.org website soon.

Just because it's reached the 100,000 threshold, doesn't mean anything will happen.

So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.
