The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

This is what happens when someone who has been over promoted by at least 5 ranks, finds themselves almost shoved into a position that they’re not even remotely qualified to fulfil effectively. Quite cruel, in its way.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk just shot himself and the @libdems.org.uk in the foot. Shortsighted. Misguided. Unheeding of the expert advice of those who know what they are talking about when it comes to GHG emissions, climate change impacts, energy transition and security. I hereby withdraw my support.

Net zero is a description of scientific fact: if we do not meet that target, we are doomed to repeat summers much worse than that just gone, with all of the accompanying damage to food supplies and infrastructure.
