Airlines are quick to claim that you can ‘fly carbon neutral’ if you just pay a little bit for an offset. But is that really the case?

Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?
Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.

Brilliant coverage of a new report from @wwf.org.uk calling on the Bank of England to step up its climate and nature work.
Addressing environmental risks is essential to the Bank's two key responsibilities: managing inflation and keeping the economy stable.
