RT by @CarolineLucas: Lord Turner told the Guardian that he had “literally been involved in discussions” in China and India where UK decisions [on Cumbria coal mine] had been given as a reason for not moving faster on the climate.

Glad Govt offering higher offshore wind prices, after recent terrible zero-bid auction - & still cheaper than new gas. If Govt cares about energy security, it should be prioritising homegrown renewables over climate-wrecking gas subject to volatile prices

“A humanitarian pause is nothing but a small bandage on an open wound …to draw this horror out longer.There is nothing humanitarian about starving…living in rubble…what good is a humanitarian pause for aid if the killing doesn’t stop?”Powerful article👇

Our constituents are watching tonight as MPs vote on whether to back a full ceasefire. I’ll vote for that ceasefire - to move towards a political solution, stop the killing, free hostages, protect civilians &amp; ensure aid &amp; fuel gets in. We must stand on the right side of history.

Grim dog-whistle rhetoric from Cleverly during

statement, blaming refugees for everything and pitting people against each other: “More people coming here illegally is not fair for those struggling to get GP appointments, housing, or access to schools.” Disgusting.

This is a scandal - *over half* of homes in

Flood protection is being unforgivably neglected by ministers. Just weeks after huge numbers of homes were hit by devastating floods, case for protection is clear, yet government has utterly failed to provide it. This report shows it’s going to get worse

So in Sunak's new Cabinet we have:
- Environment Sec married to the exec of sewage-pumping water firm
- Health Sec in charge of obesity married to CEO of major sugar firm
- Foreign Sec tainted by Greensill lobbying scandal &amp; isn't even an MP
Sounds like "common sense" to me...
