This summer we have seen the direct consequences of climate change in Britain laid bare. We either invest now or pay the price sooner rather than later, writes Tim Root @friends_earth. compassonline.org.uk/invest-…

Iconic road in South Devon destroyed due to climate change - rising sea levels and more intense storms. The situation is worsening with critical infrastructure at risk. But the UK is not prepared. It's time for the Gov to level with the public. #NEB2025 itv.com/news/westcountry/202…

Thanks Adrian - the government should be forced to publish the full report too, not just the seriously redacted version which - horrifying tho it is - still fails to reflect the full scale of the threats we face
The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters. I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

So the latest train news is that LNER are apparently doing a “trial” for 2 years where they’re not doing returns. So my tickets were as follows: Off peak single from London to Leeds: £73.40 Off peak single from Leeds to London: £73.40 Total: £146.80

When #labour is in crisis, why does the party allow its leader to speak in language that wouldn’t be spoken by voters he needs to attract. For a small fee I will vet his speeches removing Words like: grievance, binary, introspection, disaffection and embodiment. @campbellclaret

Ministers should listen to this powerful message from 32 UK nature organisations: the Planning Bill rides roughshod over nature protection laws. Nature & development can go hand in hand - but this damaging one-sided Bill is not the way to deliver it theguardian.com/environment/…

Bold environmental measures work. Congrats to ex-Mayor Johnson for initiating it and Mayor Khan for expanding it to N & S Circulars and then London boundary.

Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, is going after USAID, which feeds the poorest people in the world. Next, he’ll go after the programs that impact you: Medicaid, Medicare, community health centers, Pell Grants, affordable housing. We can stop him.
