This is a total lie repeatedly unchallenged on media
The only reference to “arms” in the PM’s speech?
“the wind fARMs of South Wales.”

This outburst by Tice should have more publicity. He made up a quote from Starmer’s speech, saying the PM had called on people to ‘take up arms’ against Reform.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if Greg Jackson and Octopus have crossed over to the anti - Net Zero camp. Or is this just sour grapes over his failed bid to bring in zonal pricing?

There is a lot of deflection taking place by politicians this morning, suggesting that the court kept the superinjunction in place and that had to be overcome.
That's not true or not complete- the government kept it in place by repeatedly applying for its renewal.

UK has the potential not just to transition to a fossil-fuel-free electricity regime before 2030, but also to be a net exporter of electricity based on our enormous capacity for wind energy. And we haven’t even started on tidal yet.
Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables.
Come on world, this IS possible!
And it will only get better (meaning: cleaner, healthier, less intrusive) 🎉

V good letter in The Guardian on Labour’s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform.
Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. We’re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure.
It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.

1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

Spring reminder, as people start to think about gardening: NEVER buy compost with peat it in (inexplicably still on sale). If it does not say "peat free" in big letters, do not buy it. Peat is incredibly valuable in peat bogs, for rare biodiversity and as a carbon store. Don't put it on your garden!

Build them and they will come! Really. As the research shows, the number of people cycling goes up dramatically when there’s good cycling infrastructure.
My first ride along one of the new sections of North Tyneside’s “seafront sustainable route” - decent width and separation here and good to see side road priority. Nice to have lots of extra zebras too. Enough people on foot, even on a grey day, to be grateful to no longer have share the path.
