There is no way the French would put up with a retirement age of 67, lowest pension in Europe, worst performing economy in Europe, 5 million kids in poverty, more food banks than McDonald’s, corrupt Govt, NHS on it’s knees, wages falling & falling living standards. So why do we?

My neighbours burn wood, polluting the air for everyone around. This shows this morning’s air quality in my bedroom in Shepherd’s Bush. Wood burning needs to stop, it’s not fair to pollute other people’s homes because burning wood ‘looks nice’ when you have central heating

Let’s be clear about this UK: if you burn wood of any kind in an urban area for heating, you are poisoning your neighbours, whether your stove and wood are “certified” or not, because the govt do not care and allow you to burn highly polluting substances.

An oil company CEO can’t be the President needed at #COP28 -or any set of talks designed to address the #climate crisis. We saw vested interests hamstring 80+ countries’ efforts to get a commitment to phase-out fossils at #COP27. Here we go again. 1/3 https://t.co/HgYJTVEd9t

It is not possible to look carefully at the evidence and decide that this mine is compatible with climate goals. Anyone who makes that claim after taking a close look is either very incompetent or is lying. They should not be in politics.
