The days are getting longer again. Happy solstice :-)
Sunday is the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. The point in the year when daylight is at its shortest
Across the UK, daylight will be in short supply:
Less than 8 hours in the far south 🕑
And under 6 hours in the far north 🕑

I absolutely agree with Professor Richard Murphy on this. Ever since Margaret Thatcher's government, we've had slightly different variations of the same underlying economic principles. We can make different polictical choices #LetMakeHopeNormalAgain #VoteGreen
Inequality is not an accident. It is not natural. And it is not inevitable.
According to the United Nations’ World Inequality Report, inequality results from deliberate political and institutional choices.
The question is, why do our politicians perpetuate it?

Here in the UK, it's Green Party policy to have a lowest to highest paid ratio of 10:1. For people who say that can't work, Suma Foods has a ratio of 1:1 !!

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

Clear legal evidence Putin's Russia was bribing some UKIP/Reform leaders during the lead up to the Brexit deal. So there is a clear need for an independent investigation into where UKIP got all the money that it used to promote its well funded leave campaign.

The biggest reason your electricity bill is so high is that the wholesale price is set by the most expensive part, which is usually produced using gas. The government could change the way the market operates, and bring down bills, but they're choosing to company profits over cheaper bills 🤬
