@paul__johnson And all PM candidates (except Rishi Sunak) running away from the UKs legal net zero 2050 commitments until we had a heat wave and they did a classic 'Tory U-Turn', just as the High Court ruled the government net zero strategy is unawful! 😡
@holz_bau I guess it may be decades! But our climate emergency is NOW. We need to design and build differently to performance standards like Passivhaus. Not just plant some trees and then do some greenwash marketing that it is a carbon positive building.
@holz_bau Those trees will not start absorbing meaningful quantities of carbon for 15+ years! How many years until the building reaches carbon neutrality when the trees have actually absorbed the massive quantity of carbon embodied in the construction and emitted by daily operations?
@holz_bau How can you call a building 'carbon positive' when using concrete construction, not incorporating any building-integrated or onsite renewables and then planting thousands of trees to offset the emissions that haven't been reduced by the building design?
A woman burst onto Russia’s main live evening newscast today with a sign that says:
“Stop the war
Don’t believe propaganda
They’re lying to you”
And chanting: “Stop the war! No to war!”
Marina recorded this video before interrupting Channel One's live broadcast. I translated it for you (thread):
“What is currently happening in Ukraine is a crime. Russia is a country-aggressor.” /1

@Mohammadtweets@etihad@emirates I had to purchase a new (expensive) Air Bubble flight back to the UK so my daughter could return in time to start school! Now #MakeMyTrip are not answering my emails and calls to cancel and refund my original flight that I was not allowed to use due to government restrictions!
@Moca_Gol We need to get back to families, jobs, schools in UK, but only UAE Residents allowed to fly from India to UAE. Let us Transit through UAE to our home countries (which have Air Bubble agreements with India)! #StrandedInIndia#IndiaToUAE#India2UAE2UK@etihad@emirates
We are still registered as Sole Traders with HMRC or registered as Directors of Ltd Companies, even if we haven't already submitted a tax return as a new business or newly self-employed person.
I'm sorry @AlokSharma_RDG but it's simply untrue to say that #HMRC has no "filings" for the newly #selfemployed. I had 2 email reminders from them last night to pay my 19/20 tax bill by 31/1. You have the information. Why is this gvt still deliberately excluding us? #ExcludedUK
@AnandanCristina Yes, I am sure you need to collect luggage and check in for the international flight (though even domestic flights require online checkin up to 48 hrs in advance now)
@AnandanCristina We will have to do it with a 2 and 4 year old and 100kgs of luggage as we're moving to the UK! We've booked on 24th (early morning) with Indigo flight from Cochin to Mumbai on 23rd
