We won't meet our climate targets without public support. To gain this support, policies need to be designed that benefit all people. If you want to know how to do that, this short report from @climatecitizens.bsky.social is essential reading: climatecitizens.org.uk/wp-content/u...

At #COP29, the PM said he wasn't going to 'tell people how to live their lives'.

@bankfieldbecky.bsky.social discusses how this wording was a misstep, and what he could have said instead for the blog.

At the COP29 climate summit, Keir Starmer said he wasn't going to tell people how to live their lives.

That's not what people want to hear.

I've written about what he could have said instead.
