I’m honoured and delighted to announce my new role as the government’s first Energy Transition Tsar. I’ll be delivering Boris Johnson’s ambitious but commercially realistic target of net zero by 2150. This thread explains the role and my terms of reference.🧵
If you or anyone you know ever finds themselves struggling to pay their bills remember the look of their faces while the issue was raised in parliament.
This concept of a “household bubble” encompassing the whole of the office complex behind No. 10 is preposterous. After commenting on these laws for almost two years I have never heard anyone propose something like this except as a joke
I don’t care what this government says to try to save its hopeless, lying leader - I’m going to be wearing a mask in indoor public spaces and transport until there aren’t hundreds of people dying with Covid every day and the NHS isn’t overwhelmed by it.
Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas - hope you have a peaceful and safe time. For those of you out there who are working to ensure that safety, thank you.
**EMERGENCY**
Our own research @theHWF into NHS staff showed
- 30% have no rest facilities
- 70% can't afford childcare
- 30% can't afford food bills
Staff are beyond breaking point - and now comes Omicron.
We are doing all we can to support them, please help if you can 👇
'We are throwing everything at it'
Except sick pay, reformed test and trace, ventilation in schools, circuit breaking measures, workplace safety and wfh enforcement, reintroducing self-isolation for close contacts, a vaccine patent waiver, furlough...
Today’s cases: an eye-watering 78,610.
The highest daily total of the whole pandemic - by over 10,000.
Don’t think there can be a single person in the NHS who isn’t knotted with dread at what may be coming 😔
Is Frost really that thick that he doesn’t understand there has to be a customs border between the European Union and a Third Country?
In Ireland 🇮🇪 that HAS to be either on land or in the Irish Sea. OR U.K. will have to rejoin the Customs Union.
Richard Ratcliffe - Boris Johnson personally promised that the UK would pay the £400m debt, to Iran, when he was Foreign Secretary... I thought Boris Johnson would have kept his word by now..
