Spoke to BBC on how climate politics is now about who captures + controls the economic benefits of new energy industries.
The future of international cooperation is away from COP.
It will be economic & security deals between individual countries.

Great article by @labourbristol.bsky.social councillor Kirsty Tait making the case for community buy-in for a just transition to net-zero!
Tackling climate change for all people and with the people is the only way it can be successful.

πͺ² MG Leonard is a wonder! She spoke for one hour non-stop about her love for reading, beetles and ancient Egypt.
Both my kids have loved her different series so far and I can't wait to read her new book to my Year 3s!

There's actually much to agree with in Blair's argument on Net Zero today.

Turns out Primary teachers would overwhelmingly forego a 20% pay rise if it meant they could retain a full-time teaching assistant!
Thanks to @heymrshallahan.bsky.social for sharing with me.

I forgot to answer the #TeacherTapp survey yesterday...
BUT very surprised at this result.
53% of teachers who responded would rather a 20% pay rise than having a TA π€―
Our year group TA is essential to supporting the bottom 20%. Especially w/ 31 kids in the class and high levels of SEND and EAL.

Just a little nudge that the best way to have your views heard is to submit to the call for evidence.
I massively appreciate that youβre insanely busy and itβs a long survey (you donβt have to respond to every question!).
But this is a big opportunity for positive changeβ¦
