An absolute disgrace.
When you dig into the hidden detail of the government's carbon capture and storage programme, the sheer scale of fiscal and environmental irresponsibility is hard to comprehend. We could be on the hook for £50 billion, with zero benefit. My column. 🧵 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Hang a banner from a motorway gantry and you are going to jail. Dump billions of litres of sewage into the environment for millions of hours and nothing. And no matter what anybody says that is not going to change. Justice? 👇
Both of the actions you see in these photos potentially amount to the offence of ‘public nuisance’. One is punishable with “long, long prison sentences” & the other is rewarded with huge bonuses & billions in profits. Why the disparity? What does this mean for the rule of law?

92% of people under 25, and 67% of people in the UK wish to rejoin the EU. RT if you are one.

The Mayoral election is next Thursday. The choice is clear: a Tory candidate who doesn’t share London’s values, or my plans for a fairer, safer and greener city for all Londoners. If you love London - vote for it. #VoteLabour

The Tories have changed the voting system to make it easier for them to win. Londoners now only get one vote for mayor. Today my former Lib Dem mayoral opponent Siobhan Benita sets out the clear choice: my positive vision or the hard-right Tory candidate. standard.co.uk/news/london/s…

Under the radar, Tory MPs & landowning lobbyists are trying to undermine nature protections in England. Yesterday, Tory MP Derek Thomas tabled a Bill in Parliament to strip Natural England of its power to create nature reserves (SSSIs) & instead give that power to Ministers. 1/

BREAKING: Sunak is reneging on many of the UK’s net zero commitments. The worst decision of any Prime Minister in my lifetime. A betrayal of our children, of our international responsibilities, and scientifically illiterate.

.@Tfl will add more than 1 million km to the bus network over the next year & today announced 80 new zero emission buses, bringing our total to over 1,100. These improvements will help address London's toxic air & make it easier for Londoners to get around the city.

London has passed a major public transport milestone: there are now more than 1000 zero emission buses on our streets. That means that more than one in nine of the capital’s iconic red buses have now gone green. Our zero emission bus fleet is setting the standard for others to follow. tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news…

Tories are the political wing of oil firms… They work for who funds them That’s why they granted these new oil licenses That’s why they offer loopholes for them to pay little or no tax That’s why your energy bills are the highest they’ve ever been. theguardian.com/environment/…

Please @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon do not give way to @Keir_Starmer if he's nervous about the #ULEZ. You are doing the right thing to help children and adults in London. And even take some pressure off the #NHS.
Sir Keir Starmer has held talks with Sadiq Khan after blaming his Ulez policy for Labour’s narrow defeat in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election on Thursday. bit.ly/3Y4CJiX
