Marston Lane Fields proposed development for 150 houses will affect traffic/pedestrians going to local schools and into town and spoil a beautiful landscape. EVERY OBJECTION COUNTS!! acp.planninginspectorate.gov… Quote appeal reference: APP/Q3305/W/22/3306827 #MarstonLaneFields #Frome

In other words, it's just nonsense that governments are keeping '1.5 alive': they're not even close. Time to chuck that soup at the painting, and wake the hell up. It's not working. #climate #COP27 #FreeAlaa
My colleague @TomEvansClimate explains the latest UN report on country climate commitments (or NDCs in the jargon). In sum, they are not NEARLY enough to keep us even close to 1.5C. #COP27 #FreeAlaa

What dissembling nonsense is this? Those road (not ambulance) blocking protestors from Insulate Britain were sent to prison without even getting a jury trial. Govt doesn't need more power to suppress this type of protest: it needs to get on with the job of cutting emissions, now!
Last night, Labour and the Lib Dems voted against our Policing Bill siding with Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion protestors who blocked highways, ambulances and workplaces. They voted to make it to harder for the British people to get on with their lives

At what point do the English population tire of Johnson’s failure to control the pandemic. It can be done - as demonstrated by the rest of the UK. It’s Govt failure on a massive scale.

Word of the day is ‘malversation’ (16th century): the corrupt administration of power.

So how many people who slammed #InsulateBritain last week for disrupting traffic went on themselves to disrupt traffic this week by queueing for petrol or diesel?
