From today, Govt only has 100 days to publish a new climate plan, a task made infinitely more difficult by its own approval of rampant airport expansion.

How credible can any climate plan possibly be with a third runway at Heathrow and the most expensive train tickets in Europe?

🛑 It's time for Labour to stop the cuts.

✔ Instead they should properly tax the super-rich and invest in our public services.
🤯 Labour are said to considering a plan for yet more cuts dubbed "Project Chainsaw".

🤔 Didn't Keir Starmer promise 'no more austerity'?

💚 The Green Party is clear - we can't afford more cuts. We would tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services.

Huge opportunities in the net zero economy if we invest properly - this is where govt should be focusing, not on climate wrecking airport expansion or oil drilling!

As an ex primary school teacher I find this so so sad. Children love stories & being read to.I never had a child that didn’t enjoy story time. Now more and more children are turning away from the joy of reading for themselves.Tragic.
