This is not true. There is more money than there has ever been. Leaving it all in the hoards and treasure rooms of the richest people in history is a choice *you're* making, Rachel.

On Tuesday evening next week I'm giving an online talk about how I retrofitted my own house, and how we achieved almost 90% CO2 savings & reduced bills by 50%. Free booking here:- https://t.co/n5CspvtIlS

I'll include details of how we are getting close to EnerPHit (Passivhaus retrofit standard) level of airtightness.

An unelected PM, with no mandate, overseeing a massive policy u-turn at odds with his party’s own manifesto which won an 80 seat majority.

What @RishiSunak is doing today completely undermines the idea of democracy & popular sovereignty in this country. He can’t go soon enough.

@dan_grey @NigelBanks_ilke @AR_Clarke I have a very similar system, recently completed. The bespoke/2-step nature of my retrofit meant the assessor chose to use full SAP instead.

😍 @emscoop it's 👌🔥. So many hours of 🎨🖌 and it shows.

@MoreOurselves Also from a different era but Dead Prez (album let's get free). Talib Kweli. Blackalicious. Would you count 'the revolution will not be televised' by Gil Scott Heron. In the uk we had Braintax, I think you'd appreciate his songs about climate change.

Hi @salihughes thanks for your article in today's guardian - shouldn't we be concerned with the impact of the flights before worrying about the re-usable travel bottles?

[XR Cambridge @xr_cambridge]

The Spanish government has just announced that all short to medium distance train journeys will be free from September to the beginning of next year, with long distance trains half price. Partly funded by a windfall tax on the energy and finance sector. Glimpses of something

Thanks to Alexander's efforts, we have a detailed pattern to follow, learn from, and continue to build upon (and with).
