The fossil fuel industry has stitched us all up - powerfully immoral lobbying has brought a corruption of tax systems and political capture of politicians and disadvantage to tax payers around the world and to delaying any action as long as they can make profit
SHOCKING 🚨: Energy giants raked in £125 billion in UK profits while millions struggled to afford to heat their homes.
Five years of crisis for households and five years of soaring profit for the companies driving fuel poverty.

Today's #HydrogenSoufflé comes from the heavy-duty truck market, which soared from absolutely nothing in 2020 to not-quite-nothing in Q4 2023, before collapsing to 1/3 of not-quite-nothing in 2025. If you think it's different in China, no: that's *including* China!

Kent County Council is getting underway.
Slightly odd arrangements in place where usual press seats have been closed, leaving us in the public gallery, which has 14 seats. Far more than 14 people are here, leading to several journalists and others being left outside of the room.
