Thanks for these emails that I have just re-read and appreciated.
What exactly are we saying about the cost of living crisis?
That the rich, like me, must pay more in taxes to level down so that those on only state pensions, benefits and other low incomes can level up?
Do we agree that the war between Russia and Ukraine (fueled by the West) must be quickly ended by talks, compromise, negotiations, settlement so that Russian oil and gas can be released once more to fund our lovely high fossil fuel lifestyle and to get energy prices down?
Do we support a windfall tax on the companies that have unexpectedly found themselves in the happy position of being cash cows? Or, what are we saying on the financial bonanza that only shareholders and directors are benefitting from?
Do we want the energy price cap to be frozen, as Labour is saying, to knock hundreds of pounds off bills? Paid for by a tax on energy company profits, according to Starmer writing today in the Sunday Mirror.
To help tackle the energy/cost of living crisis, does anyone out there join me in calling on the WMCA to make a public announcement that there will be no more Metro "bus on rails" tram extensions beyond Dudley bus station and beyond the current construction in Digbeth High Street? Similarly, with no new contracts going out for more Sprint extensions. The money saved to extend FFPT to the young and middle aged and to bring in more electric buses going directly on the roads without the very high GHG emitting railway tracks going on the roads (to bring cyclists like me crashing down when our wheels get stuck in the rut!)?
Could we discuss this last paragraph at our next meeting and then vote on it, perhaps?
I would be glad of some clarification and, even some help/support/agreement/
