Chris Packham on Sky News:
""It's a lie" that the UK is on track to hit net zero targets. I can tell you it's a lie because I've read the [govt's own] report which says we're meeting none of those targets. And by burning more fossil fuel we're pushing them further beyond reach." #UKPolitics#ClimateCatastrophe
The UK Conservative government thrashing about trying to attack other progressive causes because they have no way to fix the economy or refugee crisis due to Brexit, has put the environment in the firing line.
This is bad for everyone. We all share the environment.
The level of fuckwittery to expand oil drilling in the North Sea during the hottest year experienced by humanity in all its existence is off the charts. Tories are absolute shitbags. #northSea#ukGov#ukPol#climateChange#globalHeating
"Delivery of nuclear reactors to power a new fleet of Trident submarines on the Clyde has been branded as “unachievable” for the second year running by a UK Government watchdog.
The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) has given a £3.7 billion reactor-building project run by Rolls Royce for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) a “red” rating for 2022-23"
"The American system does not favour third-party candidates: they typically cost established candidates elections rather than having a chance of winning.
Third parties are commonplace in Europe, such as the UK’s Liberal Democrats." -- The Monocle Minute
Oh, you mean the Liberal Government of 1906? 🤔 Or the Conservative-led coalition in 2010? 😆
Pretty sure the third party in the UK for this century is the SNP 😏
The #UK government rejected calls from its own nature experts for a legally binding target to halt England’s catastrophic decline in wildlife, openDemocracy can reveal.
A reminder that there would have been no "cost of living" crisis if our government had acted decades ago to transition away from and decarbonise UK society.
The cost of not doing this increases every single second. Every delay adds more and more to the price.
The corruption and ineptitude of successive Labour and Tory governments is the reason so many of us are still reliant on gas.
These incompetents are costing us all £ trillions.
If #Labour lost the election on #ULEZ then there is definitely something to debate.
The subject of the debate is not whether to water down the pitch to voters. Although it is the hottest year on record UK weather has been pretty crap. Politicians need to understand and explain that we won't be OK in the future. We will be impacted by #ClimateChange on food, extreme weather, security, imports & everything else #UKPol
