If you are a Unite member and want more climate action (not less), look out for the ballot paper which should arrive in the next couple of days. Sharon Graham has argued for more drilling in the North Sea and briefed against Ed Miliband because of his work on net zero. Time to dump Sharon!
Good call as usual, also could you challenge @unitesharon.bsky.social Sharon Graham is campaigning for more oil and gas drilling from the North Sea, she is up for re-election is Unite General Secretary this Summer.
Tessa, absolutely agree. Any chance of you encouraging people to reject Sharon 'drill baby drill' Graham, ballots hitting this week and she is working to accelerate emissions as Unite General Secretary
OK this is just a snap shot but Belgium is over 80% carbon free as I type eupowerdata.com
My superficial research suggests Norwegian electricity is between 98% to 99% renewable. eupowerdata.com
France is by far the biggest source, principally nuclear, 95% decarbonised seems to be a consistent figure, renewables much smaller than the UK
Looking at the average over the last year, I make it 13% (Exports to Ireland 2.5% going the other way)
British electricity imports (a thread). This is a snapshot from grid.iamkate.com 18.5% in total. France is the main source and some exports to Ireland.
Figures from grid.iamkate.com Not always this good but over the last year, fossil fuels have averaged just over 27%, with renewables at 43%.
Wow just 6% fossil fuels, it is amazing how quickly British electricity supply has been decarbonised
Time to dump Sharon Graham might as well elect Donald Trump to lead Unite! #Climatechange #Heatwave
Sharon Graham is up for re-election as Unite General Secretary this July, she has been campaigning against Ed Miliband because she believes net zero is damaging. And she is lobbying for more drilling in the North Sea. Tell her we need more action on climate not less!
Don't tell Kemi and Nigel but at present renewables are on 54% #NetZero #LoveNetZero

#MarxistMonday. Capitalism is destroying the world and making a tiny number of the worst people on the planet into billionaires. It is, indeed, right to rebel against reactionaries.
There is a real push by the climate change accelerationists despite the heatwave, The Daily Mail, Kemi Badenoch and Farage are joined by Al Carns and Sharon Graham. Burning more oil and gas will increase climate change. We must challenge those who want to make our world hotter!
The Self-Managing Environment by Alan Roberts, published by Alison and Busby, is one of my favourite eco-socialist books. Great on commons, self-management, workers' control, ecology, etc. #Ecosocialism
#MarxistMonday Please follow my wonderful comrades @welshundergroundnetwork.cymru Diolch yn fawr!
Please share and spread the word. Cardew was a Marxist and a musical revolutionary.
May 7th is the 90th anniversary of the birth of pioneering Marxist and revolutionary musician Cornelius Cardew. 'The World Stands with Palestine' concert marks his legacy.
Remember the USA is not our friend. British political leaders do what they are told by American Presidents, this has to change. We need an independent foreign policy, not stepping into to kill more children in defence of petroleum profits!
Don't forget otters are a threat to Britain's heritage. Ban the otter, bring back the Churchill is an essential campaign for Kemi.
