Shockingly disastrous Labour Party response to the IPPC horrific news on climate emergency.
Thank goodness for the honesty and courage that the #ExtinctionRebellion bring to the crises. (Next big NVDA protest BBC Dec 21st Mid-winters Day)
In a speech this week John McDonnell says a Labour government will pour more billions of taxpayers’ subsidies into the UK’s genocidal oil and gas industry!!

I cannot think of anything more indicative of the total failure of the UK’s politics to address the urgency of the climate emergency than the outrageous cross-party consensus on pouring billions of tax payer subsidies into North Sea oil!
The Labour/Tory/Lib Dem/SNP parties all claim to be taking action on climate emergency but they all back billions in tax-subsidies to the north sea-oil and gas fossil-fuel criminals.
All of them likewise year after year have backed the cuts in fuel-duties on toxic diesel & petrol, cuts which over this decade will staggeringly amount to more than £80 billion!!
There has been zero coverage by the BBC yet again of this crucial announcement by the Labour Party that I have seen.
For too long our politicians and media have been working with forked tongues on the climate emergency.
Saying they are committed to taking climate action but then again and again supporting disastrous high-carbon investments / lifestyles.
It is time for more and more mass peaceful non-violent direct action.
Next big protest and non-violent direct action is on Mid-winters Day – 21st December.
It will be at BBC HQ, Portland Place and some other BBC outlets.
It will demand that the BBC tell the truth on depth of climate emergency and that it divest its millions from fossil-fuel corporations and stop banking with genocidal fossil-fuel lenders.
