We often think, “I’m just one person—what difference could I make?”
This story shows that, when we use our voice, the answer is: a lot.
So if one person can catalyze so much harm, imagine the good each of us can choose to support and advocate for.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.
We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

Nature isn’t a “blocker” – it makes our lives better.
Our coast, countryside, heritage and wildlife underpin our food, water and health and put millions of pounds into the economy. The Government must not weaken the laws that protect them.

If only someone could have foreseen that briefing the FT this week that you’re not willing to do the broad based tax rises you briefed everyone last week were going to be necessary to pay the bills might impact the bond market.
Massive move in gilts on open. Looks like giving up almost half the gains from the last month. Terrible
I am excited to see the gilt market reaction to this news. Think it could be quite bad. A big chunk of the recent gilt rally was predicated on Labour showing they could hike the big taxes if needed and….well I guess that idea is dead.

The news is clear: overshooting 1.5°C of global warming is now 'inevitable'. ⚠️
But by how much, and for how long, is still something we can change. 🌍
As #COP30 kicks off in Brazil, all eyes turn to the world leaders in attendance. Will they take this opportunity to change course?
