Do we know how much the conscience of a Labour minister currently costs? What is your going rate David Lammy ? I hope they made it worthwhile. This is a far, far bigger story than that nonsense about Starmer's Taylor Swift tickets. And you can bet it will get far less coverage

50 years ago, young men concerned about inflation eroding their wages would have joined a union. Today, they put all their savings in crypto and vote for tax cuts in case they become billionaires. That’s neoliberal individualism baby.

Lovely to get to visit two Ynni Cymunedol Cymru | Community Energy Wales member organisations Cwm Arian Renewable Energy and Transition Bro Gwaun last week, seeing the huge social and economic impact community (owned) energy has for local people. A sector truly punching above its weight!

“Mae nifer o’r rheini mewn grym yn ymddangos fel nad ydynt yn gallu deall y syniad nad yw pawb yn cyd-gerdded â ni ar y llwybr hon at ddyfodol gwyrddach.” Mark Hooper a Lydia Godden sy’n amlinellu ein gweledigaeth ar gyfer dyfodol ynni yng Nghymru. ynnicymunedol.cymru/newyddion/its-…

“Outside of our self-selecting renewables bubble, there’s another bubble, formed of frustration and resentment – and it’s growing. An increasingly vocal minority are watching this net zero ‘transition’ from a totally different vantage point.” - me & Mark Hooper

“Cutting to the chase – ownership matters.. The more solutions are devised, financed, developed, managed & owned here, the more resilient (communities will) become to deal with whatever else is lurking around a corner.” Me & Lydia Godden communityenergy.wales/news/its-the-c…

Yesterday I woke up to my village being totally cut off to floods and went to sleep knowing two miles down the road a coal tip collapsed and the village evacuated. Oh and MPs are sharing donation links so we can fundraise to pay for cleanup? Shameful! Government failure again.

The grotesque face of late-stage capitalism: a government abdicates its duty to protect its citizens, asking the poor to crowdfund their survival. Meanwhile, energy corporations & billionaires gorge on the spoils of ecological collapse. We must rise against this moral bankruptcy.

Valleys: Labour are in charge at local, national & UK government levels, yet their elected representatives are asking people to contribute to a floods fund. What next, a whip-round to secure the coal-tips? We have been here before. itv.com/news/wales/201…
