Someone who paid £80 per month for their energy just lost £80 per month in universal credit. Meanwhile, their bill’s gone up £20 due to price cap increase and gas prices. That person has gone from barely coping to £100 a month in debt in a split second.

Today energy bills rise by 54%, kicking off a spiral of poverty, debt, rent arrears, mental/physical health, addiction and so much more for millions already struggling. It’s not just a crisis of energy — it’s a crisis of social justice and, for far too many, of life and death.

Nothing about the energy crisis is a reason to regress. It’s a reason to increase renewables, accelerate retrofit (starting with those in fuel poverty), electrify everything, and maintain the UC uplift as a minimum. One of those things doesn’t even really require action.

People who want to “restart the economy to avoid austerity” are effectively saying that we have to choose between death now or in future. Newsflash: if your economy can’t function without killing people — crisis or otherwise — then your economy never worked in the first place.

From a skint schemey wee bam getting kicked out of school and into all kinds of bevy/gear/trouble (sorry mum) to submitting a master's thesis + starting a PhD that folk are actually paying me for. It's been some laugh. Long may the class identity crisis continue x

I started at Dundee College in 2010 after leaving school with no highers or hopes. There I met some really incredible lecturers who largely shaped who I am now. Today, I was invited back to give a guest lecture to this year’s politics cohort. Feeling v emotional and humbled

Anyone who thinks Scottish indy would be harder than brexit with this Tory mob is having a laugh. There isn't a more inept negotiating partner on the planet than the current UK govt. We could keep the £ and the cabinet personally carrying the nukes down the road by tea time.

I just can’t work out what’s making energy bills so much more expensive: the 12.5% green levy that’s been 12.5% forever, or the 300% increase in gas prices. A conundrum for the ages

The threat to the working classes isn’t climate action: the biggest threat is the persistence of corporate greed in politics to keep us addicted to fossil fuels under an economic system that stopped working for us long ago.

I'd like to say that in my bit in Govanhill we now have more bins, more collections and cleaner streets in general than when I moved in with more to come. Beyond that, the area is bustling and growing by the day (despite what race-baiters and anti-SNP chancers have to say).

Semi-unpopular opinion: if you can’t bring yourself to understand why losing £20 per week is so utterly devastating to some people, you shouldn’t be having the conversation/making the decision

I don’t think people realise how much fear, heartbreak, stress & desperation having £20 less a week can have on those struggling to survive. But instead of showing some empathy they’ll arrogantly explain how *they* would budget for being poor, like it’s a game of fantasy football

The host of COP26 just made flying easier, days before the event, in the midst of multiple ecological and social crisis. These people are fundamentally unserious about climate and no amount of net-zerowashing can change that. We need real climate action and we need it now.

This idea that you can't oppose brexit and support indy is really shallow. Indy support is based on an international vision of Scotland, capable of real change that the broken UK simply can't offer anymore. Support for EU + indy isn't just compatible - it's entirely coherent.

@BRWombat @Michex69 @was_caorach @mccanntb So you’re against the UK coming out of a Union with our biggest market & closest neighbour (as decided by referendum) but in favour of Scotland coming out of a Union with our biggest market & closest neighbour (as defeated in referendum?) Sort yourself out.
