Angie and the Westies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happily retired and living in the Scottish Borders. I love art, nature, gardening, flower arranging, trying out new recipes, and spending time with my husband and our Westies (Henry and Lily).

This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

$5.7bn. Approximately £4.28bn. Simple maths says, with a global population of 8.2bn, that's about 52 pence, stolen from every human being on this planet! IN 3 MONTHS Tell me @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk are wrong when they call this profiteering? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.

Would you consider signing this petition please? We all deserve the right to have a pain free, dignified end, and hospices can give us that. It’s an essential arm of the healthcare system but the government doesn’t fund it - and I believe they should. Thank you c.org/cLRs4QjHmz

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

As the UN Secretary General says, every new fossil fuel project approved today makes tomorrow’s heatwaves more dangerous & our world less secure. I hope Andy Burnham is listening. Caving in to the fossil fuel lobby as the planet burns would be unforgivable

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

Brighton has been truly parched, and meanwhile water infrastructure crumbles. In 37 years since privatisation, not one new major reservoir for England. In the 35 years before that, nearly 100 major reservoirs were created. The new PM must renationalise water as a matter of urgency.
