Looking forward to this.
Watching @carolinelucas.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on a panel at @greenparty.org.uk conference. 1 million houses with planning permission not built, a further 1 million sitting empty. We don't have a housing crisis we have an affordability crisis.

💚 I love e-assist bikes — I’ve got two.
But unlicensed e-mopeds are not bikes.
Saw 3 teens doing 30mph+ on the A426 near Whetstone — no plates, no helmets, no insurance.
⚠️ These are dangerous machines.
Let’s protect real e-bikes — and ban the fakes.

“Green #hydrogen”?
At Margam, it’s made by burning 255,000 tonnes of waste wood — with 98% of the ash sent to hazardous landfill.
Add 3 million km of diesel haulage & the result: higher emissions.

⚽ Net Zero isn’t a red card for ordinary people — it’s fair play.
Football’s wealth divide mirrors society: fans pay more, billionaires profit, too little comes back. Fossil fuel lobbyists do the same.
Net Zero means lower bills, stronger communities, home-grown jobs.

“Do our local councillors think for themselves — or are they just puppets on a string?”
Same climate myths, same slogans — from the cabinet in Leicestershire to Reform talking points nationwide.
This isn’t local leadership. It’s a national script.

🚨 Reform Claim SEND Children Are "Over-Supported" 🚨
At a Cabinet meeting on 15th July, Reform Councillors suggested that some children may be receiving too much support in classrooms - even claiming that some are moved to specialist schools “unnecessarily.”

I’ve been developing a personal framework for thinking clearly about climate action — from how we use resources (5R2D) to how we respond to change (Deny → Delay → Deliver).
Still a work in progress, but here’s the starting point:
