LABOUR LOSE CONTROL OF HIGH PEAK COUNCIL
Tower Bridge's engines were famously upgraded to electro-hydraulic in the 1970s and the lights to energy efficiency alternatives for the London Olympics. A beacon for retrofitting difficult buildings for lower impact.
This is like protesting a salad bar to highlight veganism.
@ejwwest 1) Consistent carbon taxation across the UK and in line with other major trading partners. Job of the CCC to monitor and advise.
2) Utilise the taxes on domestic supplies to fund low carbon research, let the problem create the solution
3) Proper energy market not tech targets.
Gobsmacked! Independent report states he's not acted solely in the public interest. Surely falls short of public expectations & he should consider his position. Question is, will Labour have the guts to sanction one of their own or will they try & brush it under the carpet?
The NHS has enough problems delivering basic healthcare without being dragged into gender wars. Being told to ask men if they’re pregnant before they have scans is a time wasting insult to all concerned. It’s up to Health Secretary @sajidjavid to kill off this nonsense.
“Judkins rejects the term Nimby – Not In My Back Yard – arguing she is not opposed to renewable energy but rather the locations of new solar farms.”

There must be a place in sport 4all but fairness must trump inclusion in the wrong category. The Q angle of the hip 2knee for example in cycling is a huge benefit to males. Male puberty remains. Trans cyclist Emily Bridges faces Olympic winner Laura Kenny

@AduduTrish@BBCCWR Nothing wrong with the joke and WS acted like a cock. It’s completely fair game to use humour at these events, without it frankly what is the point of watching. CR acted incredibly professionally and deserves a lot of credit.
Males have between a 10-30% advantage in sport. Punch 160% harder lb for lb. No reduction in testosterone removes all male puberty advantage. So by including males in Women’s sport you are forcing females to step aside & accept discrimination against them in their own category 😡
"Villagers rejoice" at their deliverance from new housing feels quite Biblical too – like when Sarah manages to get pregnant aged 90 or Noah's family are saved. Except it's not the Flood, it's some new homes. NIMBYism will be the death of this country
New Zealand are cutting fuel taxes to help with the cost of living.
In the UK VAT on fuel means for every additional £6 you spend £1 more goes to the Treasury in VAT.
With a 30p pump price rise since the summer we could cut 4p off duty today just to offset HMRC's tax windfall.
Now @Keir_Starmer publicly misrepresents equalities law, in yet another indication that the Labour Party can no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights. But I repeat: women are organising across party lines, and their resolve and their anger are growing. 3/3
