If tax affairs aren't relevant why have they been dragging Angela Rayner through the mud?

Labour are, in fact, reinforcing this narrative. They're shameful and complicit.

I've contacted my MP (Kanishka Narayan, Vale of Glamorgan) via Trussel's online form. I also asked him a question about it during a Q&A on the local radio station and didn't get much of an answer.

Absolute joke of a system. Years of private under investment for the sake of the shareholders. Surely the point of privatisation is they're responsible for upgrade costs and not consumers, right?

Heat pumps can't be political. Nor should net zero be. Absolutely insane decision.

Rightly so. Regardless of whether or not you disagree with him, protest should never be illegal.

I hope so. There's only a limited set of circumstances in which these cars are necessary, but they're a status symbol now. They're a pain, and the people that drive them are invariably the most incompetent drivers because they can't drive a car that size.

Not to mention the lack of private investment in infrastructure, despite the fact that was highlighted as a benefit of privatisation. Now with crumbling infrastructure and sewage in our seas, the shareholders continue getting richer and increasing consumers' bills to fund that investment. Why?

More importantly, how quickly are they going to stop dumping sewage into waterways?

Tough to make an argument in a short amount of characters, but my broader point is that this is just continuing to shift the blame/responsibility for climate change onto ordinary people as opposed to obscenely rich companies and their shareholders.

I agree to some extent; private flights should be taxed to oblivion.
But taxing aviation just puts the onus of climate change mitigation onto the consumer. While people should absolutely try to fly less, I don't think making holidays less affordable for consumers is the answer.

I feel like they tried that with The Eternals and their target audience didn't really like it. It's a shame!

I came here to say this, too. There was always too much "student" accommodation for students. Thinly veiled attempts on the part of developers to skimp on costs.

Exactly. I saw someone say that by building more runways you basically funnel most of the money out of the country in the name of "business" anyway.
