Tax breaks have worked well for O’Leary and Ryanair - you can see why he would recommend them for the whole economy - but someone has to pay for them. The lack of VAT and fuel duty gifts nearly £20B a year from other tax payers to Britain’s airline industry.

Who knew such a think existed, French whisky?

Making the most of half term holidays.

New study shows the meat and dairy industry rivals the fossil fuel industry for planet killing methane emissions - our diet is driving the climate crisis but when it comes to action - it’s the Cow in the Room.

Well we should be tucked up in our beds in France tonight but due to our departure being put back 12 hours because of the storms we have only made it to Amsterdam, hopefully tomorrow mornings flight will be on time.

Expect the right wing media to make a fuss, but why should a small profession earning on average £300k a year, pay less tax National Insurance than the rest of us? There’s no good reason - it’s just another example of how our tax code was written by people with money for people with money.

I am sure that ten names Tommy Robinson’s recent visit to the clubs home ground and promise to attended the game as a Maccabi supporter may have made the West Mids police’s decision even easier to make, it’s not like his friends are partial to a bit of football violence.

More sensibly Octopus back Breaking the Link for the first time, or at least a new version of it from Greenpeace - not sure this version is as good as the original - but defo better than Zonal.

Please sign this petition as it’s something close to my heart.

Hallelujah….been saying this for some time, Treasury have finally arrived at the same place. Looking forward to the budget now...:)

Facts…
The polar opposite of what drives most media coverage of the issue.

Maybe Clarkson will join Reform….he’d be a good fit - full of hot air and out of touch with reality.

The Giga Poll shows what Britain really thinks about climate change. 🇬🇧 Find out more at gigapoll.co.uk

Factory farms for salmon are filthy environments that require a constant flow of clean water and constant treatment with toxic chemicals. These places are so bad that some 30 per cent of all farmed salmon simply die from their conditions, they don’t become food for customers.

We’re being told fairy tales by right wing politicians and media - it’s two things, an attempt to divide and then rule us - and a distraction from the real issues. Our Giga Poll gives the lie to these fantasies - it shows what Britain Really Thinks - buff.ly/0d4tnUH

Pleased to be a part of this. We’ve been working with AEG over the summer to bring clean power to festivals like All Points East and LIDO, with our fabulous Grid Faeries initiative.

This lot are trying to normalise racism.

But that’s not the Britain I know... and our Giga Poll of 45k shows that. Diversity is its strength, not something to fear or smear. Some people, desperate for power, will say anything.

Right now green energy has just overtaken coal as the world’s biggest provider of power - that’s something Trump and his fossil fuel funders will hate to hear - maybe that’s why they’re preventing people talking about it. Won’t change the reality though.

Still Monday, still at conference. Just heard the Chancellor's speech....

Let's make tax more progressive.

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

We’ve been saying this for a long time…:)

Admittedly not my picture but had to share as it made me snort coffee down my nose.

I still can’t visualise these non-pockets, has anyone got a photograph?

Sadiq puts it mildly...:)

 Nige's performance in America, he got called a free speech charlatan - I love that....:)

This makes it clear just how small the world is, how limited and precious the air that we breathe is - a fire in Canada kills 80k people worldwide. It’s relevant to low emissions zones, they take a lot of heat from the right wing, usually presenting them as an assault on motorists.

A fantastic day at Forest Green Rovers, a dramatic match with a 98th-minute equaliser that had the whole stadium on its feet. Even more special to meet @dalevince.com and thank him personally for the support of @ecotricity.bsky.social who been pivotal in bringing No Limits 2025 to life.

I wonder if he'll close the company he uses to recieve his GB news wages, be a good test of what he really set it up for.
