• 27 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  We stand on the cusp of a new industrial revolution in artificial intelligence, and this country has just one chance to gain the first mover advantage, and to harvest the productivity gains and growth that could result. Indeed, combined with innovations in the life sciences and climate technology, which are mentioned in the Budget, this could be our route out of this downward economic spiral, yet in the 164-page Budget, the words “artificial intelligence” appear once. I call on the Government to redouble their efforts on public investment and R&D, because I would like to live in a country that has the resources that it needs to provide opportunities for our citizens, and this Budget is a missed opportunity to do that.

  @cllrLisaScott @A6FVC I don’t think the Green Party is in a position to critique anyone on carbon reduction given you oppose renewable energy infrastructure: https://x.com/politicsjoe_uk/status/1813916239535693904?s=46&t=mBtV9p5Q8kRRKQPRrGxg_A [Source]

  @RichPolitical No I’m just pointing out that 65% of people already get a return from public listed companies without nationalisation. The government should be investing in tackling the climate emergency and addressing poverty not completely distracted by nationalisation and Brexit. [Source]

  I welcome @theCCCuk net zero 2050 ????, but it’s typical bureaucratic ineptness. They claim the 2050 target is modest cost & gives 50% chance of avoiding catastrophe. How about we incur significant cost, do it earlier & avoid 50% chance of millions of deaths? #ExtinctionRebellion https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1123838905424519168 [Source]

  Why ⁦@TheIndGroup need to address their biggest weakness with a visionary policy platform.
