Have started listening and right from the off we have claims from Coutinho that she was the first Energy Secretary to question net zero and that net zero is 'making emissions worse'.

The UK has delivered the fastest emissions reductions in the G20.

On the plus side (?), I now feel a little closer to Lucille Bluth every time I go out for a coffee.

Got to admire Kemi Badenoch’s timing, deciding to announce that she’d repeal the Climate Change Act in the wake of the news of Dr Jane Goodall’s passing 👏

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan:

“We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response.

“London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

Terrific column by @johnthornhill.bsky.social, which also led me to a great FT story I'd missed at the time:

He’s a real person, no avatar I’m afraid, I studied with him.

And yes, I realise that some of it was for comedic effect! But might be time to start clarifying that, given where we are in the debate (I’m actually fun at parties, I swear…)

Great to see yesterday’s @thenewsagents.com episode look into the backlash to animal feed additives to reduce livestock emissions. Less great to hear them perpetuate the common misconception that most methane is emitted through cow flatulence - it’s actually livestock burping that’s the culprit!

Great @nytimes.com The Daily episode today on the Community First Village in Austin and the really complex subject of addressing homelessness: open.spotify.com/episode/0XtW...

Not complaining that everyone’s voting with their feet and joining #Bluesky, but part of me (the paranoid part) is thinking we should pipe down with the advertising on the other place, in case Musk gets any bright ideas about buying up and ruining this place, too.

I listened to some of the content of this film on a News Agents Friday episode a couple of weeks ago, and it was truly astonishing.

I couldn't see an overall starter pack for FT journalists active on Bluesky. So given the recent influx of new people on here, I thought it'd be useful to make one.

Do shout out all the people I've inevitably missed and I'll update

Hiiiiiiii

Certainly! I’ve learned the lesson and it’s time to adapt.

This week we launched the @thecccuk.bsky.social work on the UK's 7th Carbon Budget (2038 to 2042) - and the UK's 2035 NDC.

We'll advise on a new path to UK Net Zero. This explains how we'll do it.

The big news is we'll publish our advice in *early* 2025.
