I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Voters want both: homes built and wildlife protected.
MPs should listen to the public, not a false "nature vs growth" narrative.
If nature loses at this stage, it will be because they chose not to protect it.

It is really getting harder and harder to glibly dismiss the data centre driven growth of demand in the US, which is causing coal growth domestically and impacting the entire planet's emissions
Yes you can present it with a huge denominator to make it look small but that doesn't change the dynamics

Chinese and EU emissions were more or less flat in 2025 (Chinese emissions may have actually declined slightly, but its too early to know for sure: www.carbonbrief.org/...).
US emissions increases drove much of the increase in global emissions in 2025.

This is disastrous on multiple levels. We already have a high level of mistrust & people opting out of sharing will hit medical research so hard. I’d also hesitate to encourage people to share their protected characteristics data to monitor equality & diversity because of the plausibility of misuse.
US spy-tech giant Palantir is moving into our NHS to handle patient data, the same company with a troubling record of surveillance and deportations.

For rehab of mid-portion AT contraction intensity appears to be key. With insertional AT dorsiflexion range may play a more prominent role. We still want to load progressively but we often start out of painful, dorsiflexed positions.
