It takes guts to set out your own experience of an issue when that account is still confronting to the wider public. 👏🏼 @davidwoode @thetimes I’ve been stopped and searched by the police since I was 16 https://t.co/cGt9l22jb4

With the Conservatives 22 points behind in the polls, 30 MPs this week calling for no new taxes, and less than eight months before a potential election in May, Rishi Sunak does not have much room for manoeuvre, @chrisjvenables tells @sandywarr. @LBCNews | @GreenAllianceUK

Er, really .. govt already deemed to be off track by @theCCCuk for its later carbon budgets on the basis of its strategy including all these things. So looking forward to RS laying out how more delays are compatible with still hitting net zero.
PM in retreat from green policies. He says will still hit net zero BUT 'in a better, more proportionate way' & argues that govts 'of all stripes' have failed to be 'honest about costs and trades offs'. Confirms @hzeffman & @ChrisMasonBBC scoop. More on @BBCr4today from 6 am

Contrary to the latest Daily Mail campaign, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg tells @JamesRCourt that Tata's investment in a new gigafactory to make electric vehicles is “great news for Somerset and great news for Great Britain.” @GBnews @EVAEOfficial @TataCompanies @JLR_News

The word ‘just’ tells you everything you need to know about these guys, on a night when NZ’s emergency sefvices were overwhelmed.

The rescuers did not expect to see people around as they took out a jet boat. Instead, they encountered people all around on rooftops, "completely stranded".

“Are you guys the Navy? “Na, we’re just three Mãori boys.” The heroic story of the rescue of my UK neighbour’s family. Caught in @cyclonegabrielle they were forced to hide in a roof cavity as their furniture knocked against the ceiling.

Philip Barber watched in horror as his brother's house was engulfed by water and silt with the entire family inside. 48 hours later, the men broke down in tears as they hugged, reunited and safe.

Vivienne Westwood was the most defiantly uncompromising, radical person I ever met or had the pleasure to interview. Her genius was subverting society at every level. Thoughts with Andreas.

What’s the point of energy price support that lets heat pour out of our homes. In Germany, the average home loses 1°C of its indoor temperature after 5 hours. In Sweden, Denmark, Austria & Italy its 1.5°C or less. In Britain, we lose double - a draining 3°C heat. HT @tado

A thrill to see the irrepressible Peter Seabrook celebrated so widely at the Chelsea Flower Show today. His sparkling wit hid a great intellect and a talent for inspiring young people and communities. Always finding the extraordinary where others saw ordinary. #floralfantasia

It’s a cunning and elaborate plan, which involves decisive action from the usually bureaucratically-encumbered WTO and could still risk the wrath of the G77. Who should James go to with this radical new idea?

The UK is president of both the G7 and #COP26 this year. Why not try to get the G7 to agree, through a working group, an overarching set of climate principles, then work with the WTO, and its exciting new Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to lead a multilateral solution.

How will the UK hosts approach the hugely tricky problem of getting a climate deal at #COP26? The Times’ columnist James Forsyth outlines an interesting theory.

Just over a 11 years ago James Murdoch appointed me as an Environment Editor because a vital issue was being ignored by MSM - he was right then - and he is right now. Despite many obstacles, his actions have always been key to rebalancing the climate debate.
