Well I wish I could say I have done my bit to vote this shower out, but since I already have a Labour MP I'm not going to make any difference.

Massive and repeated flooding in Switzerland. Thousands of heat related deaths in southeast Asia and the Middle East. What’s looking like an absolutely devastating hurricane about to hit the Caribbean. Welcome to Global Weirding, brought to you by a minority of companies + countries.

Feels like we are seeing the end of the Tory party in the way those of us around since the time of Thatcher know it.

BBC preferred to report on some royals taking a selfie at the Taylor Swift concert. Not even on the London local news page.

Waveney Valley is going to be a three way split from what I've seen. The tactical vote guides are saying vote Green and that may give them the edge, but Labour have cannily chosen an Environmental Scientist as their candidate so they can also claim the green ground.

Take electricity, turn it into hydrogen. Put hydrogen into car, turn it back into electricity to drive car. I think the problem is clear.

This is what I don't get about Labour allowing itself to be bullied by the Tory media into promising not to raise most taxes. They should draw a direct line from taxation to services and say they can't rule out rises in tax to repair public services.

Regarding emissions from agricultural production, the majority are from livestock, especially ruminant livestock like cattle.

Also, because livestock production is a leading driver of deforestation, that's a sizable chunk of land-use change emissions. 🧪

It's not so much the fossil fuel companies we need to ban advertising. It's the companies that drive their use. Buy a 5 ton 'car' and you'll use lots of fuel, advertised or not. So stop the adverts for those cars, flights, holidays, yachts etc.

You would think that something like this contravened electoral law, but I complained to the electoral commission about factual errors in the UKIP manifesto some years ago and they were not interested.
