💚 So true!
We should be ensuring that all university courses include mandatory modules on the climate and ecological emergencies
So much more important than targeting humanities and demeaning our cultural heritage

The rise in SUVs has cancelled out emissions reductions by those choosing electric cars
These urban tanks have no place in the climate emergency

Matt Edwards 🌍: 🚙 Paris will charge #SUV drivers more to park to tackle #congestion and #airpollution
📈 SUVs in the city has increased by *60% * over the last four years.
⚠️ SUVs are less safe and worse for the environment than a regular cars.

The marketization of higher education has destroyed our universities
But in a market the *customers* get to choose what they buy
Government is now stopping students choosing their courses
As productive units of the economy, young people lose the right to choose their learning

Re @martin_westall I’ve lived in a small town with very poor bus services and without any car for some years now
Yes, you have to plan ahead. And sometimes you need to depend on your neighbours
But that is better than making life unlivable for our children

This would claw back just £1.3bn from some of poorest people - poorest children - in the country
This isn’t about fiscal prudence
It’s about signalling to oligarchs and financiers that they can trust Labour
And sacrificing our children to achieve that

😲 Shocking
😤 This is a Tory dogwhistle policy intended to mobilise resentment against people who need to claim benefits. . .
😢 By forcing their children into greater poverty
🤔 What has happened to @UKLabour?

‘We must stop climate solutions killing biodiversity’
When I see stories like this I always wonder who has paid for them
The greatest threat to biodiversity is rapid temperature changes that species cannot adapt to
Not bird strikes but wind turbines

Less than 5% of estates have to pay inheritance tax
Tories suggestion of abolishing it only helps these richest people in society
At the expense of the rest of us
Don’t be fooled: inheritance tax is a good thing for the vast majority of people in UK

What is ‘high value’ when it comes to education?
I’ve just spent two days at a sustainable finance conference
Now I’m in Ravenna to see the mosaics
I value both these highly for educational and aesthetic reasons
We’re suffering from electing a government without values

The ‘blue hydrogen’ nonsense from the fossil fuel industry has held us back
Great to see government now clear that it’s heatpumps that will warm our homes in future
But where is the plan to rule them out via local councils? Where it the free installation for low-income homes?
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Hugo Gye: Britain is heading for near-universal heat pumps by 2050.
Speaking to the Parliamentary Press Gallery today, Grant Shapps suggested govt had given up on the idea that hydrogen could replace natural gas as the main way of heating homes.
