One of my legacies at the Council is a strategy to deal with risks and liabilities in Newcastle arising from the impending end of Labour’s first PFI binge. Now they’re considering another plunge into off-the-books debt. 🙄

From sewage to farming, we are leading the way on environmental issues that matter to British voters.

Meanwhile, when was the last time you heard the Green Party actually talk about green issues?

It's the @LibDems who are championing environmental causes

There’s a reason The Conservative have made drilling the North Sea their No.1 topic, falsely claiming that 2% more Oil and Gas is some economic and social game changer for the UK’s problems.

Andrew Neil, one of the British media’s loudest voices telling us he and the media know more about climate change and the threat to the planet than NASA, The Met office, Cambridge, Oxford etc

A reminder:

The UK, France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal all broke their hottest May and spring temperature records

2024 is the hottest year in recorded history globally

Carbon dioxide levels are higher than in millions of years

Food crops are being affected by erratic weather which is a driver of inflation

@NickSmallman @MrMatthewTodd Except Thatcher was a scientist and gave the first major climate speech by any national leader which led to the launch of the UNFCCC and IPCC. Strange but true.

@JohnRentoul Badenoch seems to have got off very lightly in the media after losing 560 Council seats while being the official opposition to a very unpopular Government. I mean, that is *bad*…

@verusphoenix @Lougonetoolong @afneil 4. If we want a modern power system (ie not like Algeria, Kyrgyzstan, Russia etc), then the relationship between renewables and power costs is weak. Otherwise our power would be cheaper than the rest of the top 10. QED.

[Gareth Kane LD @GarethKaneLD]

@verusphoenix @Lougonetoolong @afneil 3. You are quite right that the lower right quadrant is empty. But look at the lower left quadrant - are these countries hoovering up industrial investment? Is Kyrgyzstan booming? Nope. I don’t think we want to be there.
