Sunak keeps saying households were facing £10k-20k bills, primarily because of the cost of moving to a heat pump. Here’s the second major energy company inside a month announcing a heat pump at a cost that is comparable and even lower than a gas boiler. businessgreen.com/news/41310…
UK based environmental consultant for 20 + years. I’ve never heard any individual advocate for seven bins. I have heard calls to consume less meat, but never heard proposals to achieve this through taxation. These are alternative facts. Deliberate tactics aimed at polarisation.
Tory MP Michelle Donelan: “We are the Party of facts”
*VT compilation of Tory lies*
Victoria Derbyshire: “There was never a proposal to use 7 bins, we can’t find any council that wants to decide when you can go to the shop & Labour have never proposed taxing meat”

Concerned about fracturing of UK political consensus on climate action
Chopping and changing policies creates uncertainty for businesses and the public
Ultimately this makes it more difficult to attract investment and pushes up costs for consumers

Agreeing to new oil and gas fields won’t help the UK. It will only create more declining and stranded assets that will cost our future economy when we can be investing and creating jobs and growth in clean energy.
And as I’ve consistently said, leadership requires us to lead:

Anyone interested in the actual facts VS claims the new oil and gas licences will bring UK energy prices down? This is quite the humdinger. Well done @Channel4News

Does the UK need more North Sea oil and gas extraction?
@C4Ciaran digs deeper into Rishi Sunak’s decision to grant new North Sea oil and gas licences.

After 13 yrs in power a Party needs a compelling story to win another term.
Does the Prime Minister really think dropping our int’l environmental leadership & rolling back our domestic commitments is that winning story?
If so he must have a dim view of the people he wants to lead

..we only dreamed back then that @LondonNPC would actually exist, be supported by @SadiqKhan and that @JCDecaux_UK would be helping the #NationalParkCity with real billboards across #London. Just brilliant!
Have you seen one yet?

Enjoyed an informative and insightful talk at the @NHM_London this morning, with @Arup, about how developers can increase support for their projects by improving green spaces in cities. Lovely to see many familiar faces, and see the beautiful @BWPAwards exhibition as well.
