Organising the thinkers at a think tank; green politics; economic justice; views mine.

🗣️We talked to communities around the UK about what a fair response to the climate and nature emergencies looks like.

Action on climate➕nature = a better life for all.

But it won't work unless it's fair and we bring the public along with us.

💪Together we can do this!

Net zero must deliver a people's dividend

Action must be rooted in fairness, be shaped by public consultation and help tackle inequality

Read the Environmental Justice Commission final report blueprint for a fair transition to net zero https://t.co/OroajSp6Vj #IPPRNetZero

Reminder: Repeated fuel-duty freezes since 2011 have cost the govt at least £80bn and raised UK CO2 emissions by as much as 7%

Love this ❤️❤️
What a difference it will make to Oxford Street ❤️❤️
Destination shopping 🛍️🛍️

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

NEW: Today we've announced exciting new plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street.

These plans will transform the experience of Londoners and tourists visiting our world-famous high street - and create one of the finest public spaces in the world.

Been a privilege to work with the very talented health team @IPPR on the IPPR Commission on Health and Prosperity. Final report out today argues for a move to a health creation model of health policy, providing health services in local communities.

This decision puts the interests of a small number of wealthy frequent flyers over the wellbeing of us all. London City Airport operates low-efficiency planes, on routes doable by train, for high-income passengers.

What my brilliant colleague @msingerhobbs recommended earlier this year

[Emma Killick @emsie40]

While France are banning internal flights, we're expanding 🤦‍♀️

[Campaign for Better Transport @CBTransport]

This is the wrong decision, especially as data from @_wearepossible and @NEF last week revealed that 54% of journeys from London City airport could be taken by train in under 6hrs.

10% of flights from London City Airport are to Edinburgh, a 4.5hr train journey.

O&G company Serica Energy are complaining in the @Telegraph about taxes on oil & gas profits going as high as 78%, forcing the company to look at taking their business to Norway

They're going to get a shock when they find out Norway's tax rate on oil & gas profits is...78%

@CllrMarcus @jmms1983 Congratulations Jose! 👏👏👏

Didn't think I knew who JD Vance was. Turns out I did. A prescient birthday present from a friend about 6 year ago

It does help you understand a bit better why people vote for Trump. And it is a good read

But it doesn't make me feel any better about a Trump/Vance presidency

Congratulations to @carysroberts & @rachelstatham_ who have both been recruited into the Downing Street Policy Unit!

We're sad to see them go, but delighted to announce that @harry_qp has been appointed interim executive director.

Yes! This 👇🏻

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

As the Tories pander to the prejudices and hard-right agenda of Nigel Farage and his supporters, it’s become clear that what’s at stake in this election is nothing less than what it means to be British.

[John O'Farrell @mrjohnofarrell]

This is all going according to plan. England limp through to the quarter finals but with no feelgood factor to help the Tories.
Then after the election Southgate gets them playing brilliantly and they win the tournament and a Labour Prime Minister welcomes them back with the cup

[Emma Killick @emsie40]

Lads, you are really taking the shine off of my last minute winning entry in the office “general election date” sweepstake https://t.co/ap10NOrFaD

[Patriotic Millionaires UK @PatMillsUK]

Incredible new report from @IPPR. There is no excuse for this country having the lowest investment of all G7 countries - we are long overdue a better Britain. If the next gov’t is looking for an injection of capital it can look to us and tax us, the richest.
