@harrow_council why are you ignoring government advice to use scientific polling to resolve conflicts over local traffic schemes? https://t.co/AIzQrOivJw

@BBCPolitics @chrismason @robertcourts @LouHaigh @LaylaMoran @eastantrimmp It's not even clear whether he was talking about carbon emissions or greenhouse gas emissions, or whether production-based or consumption-based, or whether including or excluding aviation and maritime (his own area of responsibility). But by any of those measures, he is way out.

[Harrow FOE @harrowfoe]

@BBCPolitics @chrismason @robertcourts @LouHaigh @LaylaMoran @eastantrimmp Whaaat? @RobertCourts just claimed on #bbcaq that on climate change, UK has halved its emissions since 2010. This is nonsense. Why does presenter @ChrisMason let this go unchallenged? Perhaps it got through on vagueness?

The 2010 cost estimate for HS2 was £30-36 billion; this new estimate would put the cost greater than the expected benefit over 60 years. What price 108 ancient woodlands, 33 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and 21 designated nature reserves?

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

HS2 could cost three quarters more than was estimated and set the exchequer back by £170 billion, according to the deputy head of a government review of the project https://t.co/on82d9vOr9

A tragedy for Irish forestry. But also an opportunity to plant at low cost - please pass on to Irish contacts!

[Alastair Ferrar @AlastairFerrar]

Half a million native tree saplings about to be wasted. Saving even a few hundred of these would be a good news story. ‘None So Hardy’ are selling off locally sourced native oak stock for €15/hundred trees. Who can help save some of these?

Since 2016, @Barclays has given more money to fossil fuels than any other European bank. So, alongside 100 others & @ShareAction, I've filed a resolution that would see the bank bring its energy lending in line with a liveable future https://t.co/fk6jX49CSm #BarclaysResolution
