The Tories' quiet introduction of freeports hides environmental and trade risks, as well as sinister deregulatory aims

Govt shredding social security system.
1m children in destitution,
People going without food, heating, clean clothes and toothpaste.

RT by @JeanLambertLDN: Very significant. These measures - announced overnight - seem in effect to remove the *right* to protest.
I am not a human rights specialist but I also wonder how they can be compatible with the ancient common law right - or our international human rights obligations.

RT by @JeanLambertLDN: I trained as an Architect 1968/74. We had extensive lectures on sustainability, careful use of building materials, reduction of waste & the importance of insulating buildings properly. There’s plenty of knowledge, but for some reason, no will!

RT by @JeanLambertLDN: It was 1982 when I wrote my pamphlet ‘Fuel Poverty can be Stopped’ proposing retrofitting every home with adequate insulation. It creates jobs, reduces fuel poverty, and moves towards net zero (not that we cared about that in 1982). Another generation of politicians baulk at cost
