Love @RBReich's remedies 9 and 10. No capitulation. Join together and challenge the bully. Could Robert Reich be @Keir_Starmer's special advisor, @lordmandelson?
If the Gov is determined to expand airports, adding 100,000s more flights to the skies and millions of tonnes of CO2 each year, then it needs to end aviation fuel's tax-free status. Taxing kerosene could raise billions to invest in sustainable public transport.

It’s rare that a major road scheme is cancelled. It's a chance to plan integration at rail heads. The ex-Stonehenge road could fund a sustainable travel revolution in the South West. @AndrewWickhamGo@Stagecoach_West@NetworkRailWssx@PensTransport

This is excellent news; a great appointment
@ruthdavis27 has a brilliant track record, and will bring passion and determination on #nature to UK foreign policy
But it's critical that this is matched by far greater efforts to restore nature at home!

Hello @EduardHabsburg. I heard you talking about your family ancestry on @TheRestHistory which prompted a question you might help me with: my neighbours near Carcavelos, Portugal (c1950s) were exiled from Hungary & styled "Archduke of Austria". Are they related to you?

In the last week, Labour hit a crucial milestone on getting rid of hereditary peers, unlocked £1bn funding for social housing insulation, initiated plans to regulate buy-now-pay-later lenders and started to coalesce around an HS2 replacement. Barely any chat about this at all.
Political advisers should act with transparency and impartiality. Boris' appointee Lord Walney should be investigated for potential conflicts of interest in advising 1government on protest. Ask @YvetteCooperMP to remove him. https://t.co/UriJhwJdUw via @goodlawproject
Very sad to learn of Tim Darvill's passing. Through his love of Stonehenge, we recall his inspirational and moving Human Henge project, an experimental approach to mental well-being.

This research on 180 year old trees is of great importance as it substantiates the major role for mature temperate forests in climate change mitigation.
As a method of proven CCS, it calls for urgent increased protection for mature trees.

Here's more info which I think you'll find interesting; it explains my post a bit more as some people are not reading the 2nd part of the post, or the important link explaining it's about new research re *mature* trees, not carbon sequestration in general.

Excellent constituency MP, Michael Ancram threw his weight behind rural transport and supported the developing Wigglybus in the 1990s @wiltscouncil@BBCWiltshire He later introduced me to Labour's local tp minister Rosie Winterton to press for sustainable funding. A loss. RIP
RIP Michael Ancram.
He served with distinction as the MP for Devizes. A survivor of the Brighton bombing he pioneered the peace process in Northern Ireland. A one nation Tory and a gentleman, he will be missed.
My thoughts are with his family and friends. https://t.co/e5tYGR0Rdv
