You only have to make a couple of small changes and he's written his own obituary.

And a kilometer is 5/8 of a mile

I'm 5 foot 10 inches tall and I weigh 70 kilos

Sign the petition Emma Reynolds: stop the industrial fishing frenzy

Did you know the UK gov allows bottom trawling in many UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)?

It’s like letting a bulldozer destroy a national park.

Want to protect the UK's local fishermen and precious marine life? Please urge the UK gov to ban all industrial fishing from UK MPAs NOW:

This might be the closest thing to pure good news on the climate front I've seen for a long time.

Agreed, but this needs to happen at some stage to maintain revenue. So should be accompanied by an increase in fuel tax which creates the same additional cost for the average ice car. Then bigger ice cars pay an even greater tax increase and other forms of transport are incentivised.

I did not need to know that

Should obviously say gold

I hope they only take a copy of the world cup trophy to the US or it will be lost forever to the hold obsessed magpie

There seems to me too much reluctance to straight out say that they are lying.

Wow. That could take a while.

Carla Denyer MP stands by a caged Nelson Mandela statue with a sign reading “Protest is not a crime.”

Protest is fundamental to our democracy - we rightly celebrate people like Nelson Mandela who changed the world through protest

But this govt is clamping down on our protest rights with increasingly authoritarian laws

Thanks @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social for making this point so powerfully

It's great. One of my favourite books of all time.

FFS this is the lowest hanging of all fruit. Every country faces budget pressures, this eases those, with a progressive tax that also helps the environment. A triple win.

Reads more like an 8 year old than his usual 5 year old phrasing.

Hi Jeff, yes I am following you. I'm going to dm you as a more discreet method of communication.

A brilliant idea. Can I get paid for this? Every post I avoid will save people time so that should be monetisation.

With modern systems it must be possible to introduce a two tier VAT structure with zero rating up to a given level then 20% above that targeting very high users.

But then growing wheat, with all the attendant fertiliser and pesticides is 'natural'.

According to @carbonbrief.org analysis if you took a hectare of land growing Biofuel for an ICE vehicle and replaced it with solar panels generating electricity for an EV, you could get ~100x as many miles out of the EV as the ICE.

I've seen other studies giving even greater numbers.

The US is a rogue state.

On everything.

Gas sets the price of our electricity >80% of the time. It's expensive gas which has driven the cost of living crisis.

While ordinary people struggled the oil and gas companies saw their profits rise by hundreds of millions of $.

🤣

Or meddling in the recipe for coca-cola

The protestors of yesteryear are revered as heroes, there are statues of them in Parliament Square

Today's protestors are locked up

I love this action by Greenpeace www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/monumen...

I participated in a similar debate at Cambridge Union in 2017. This house would rather cool down the planet than warm up the economy.
