It’s criminal damage, though, and there is a law to deal with that. Calling it terrorism is a massive overreach. It’s nothing like terrorism to spray paint on a plane.

This is insane by Yvette Cooper.

Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism.

The authoritarian Home Secretary has lost the plot.

It is astonishing, but then when you look at the comments on any post on Facebook about extreme weather, you realise the degree of ignorance and misinformation that these groups have put out there. Hard not to think they’ve won sometimes.

One of the many emergent issues with the phrase 'net zero' is that it became a proxy phrase for 'the politics of climate policies', and not 'stopping the heating of the atmosphere and oceans so that we don't fucking die'

Imagine a debate about "will Labour stick with or abandon cancer prevention"

The Observer view on SUVs: they are too dangerous and too big, their drivers should be made to pay If a car generates more potholes, takes up more space and poses more risk, it is only fair that its owner pays more

“If a car generates more potholes in our roads, takes up more parking space and poses more danger to pedestrians, cyclists and other car occupants compared with smaller vehicles, then it is only fair that its owner pays more for driving that vehicle.”

We’ve been living car-free for 21 months now. Swiss infrastructures really support it. I also lived many years in Sydney car-free. Do I miss having a car? Some days, absolutely. If I had a car, would I be 100 times lazier and unnecessarily reliant on it? Yeah.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.

Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.

This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

He said “no college student”. There are college students outside the USA, you know. And the USA isn’t immune from climate change either.

The polling supports Phillipson on this (backed by 60%) and Labour is wise to embrace the argument rather than shrinking from it.
