"natural catastrophe modellers and actuaries are being asked to give a ‘haircut’ to future projections or ‘manage down the
numbers’ in order to avoid causing alarm and to keep getting deals done."

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs.
So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism.
It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change.
This is a victory for Shell over the people.

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling “won’t take a penny off energy bills.”
The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS.
So where’s the Government’s impact assessment?
If they don’t have one, they should delay the decision on drilling for oil & gas until they do.
Just 3% of reported rapes in the UK get prosecuted. It's estimated by the FBI that 1 in 3 women in the US Universities get sexually assaulted, 1 in 5 men. The system is broken.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski issued a solid response toAndy Burnham.
Polanski said: "I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. "I'm a victim of antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
"You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide."
“THIS COULD EXPLODE.”
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling issues an alarming warning about the expanding conflict involving Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea.
“This could explode into a regional dynamic that will quickly spiral out of control.”
Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/s6Nzgw3 That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.
The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy

Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end.
No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.
Mr Healey - you are an ignorant, short-sighted, fool
Have you taken any time to look around you - to see and understand what is happening to our world?
There is NO growth on a dying planet

I predicted Trump would eventually side 100% with Putin on all things. This has been my greatest worry.
Trump must be removed from office now. We’re at a real turning point.
On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.
Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government
Enough is enough.

Hear hear, Zack! 👏👏👏
I'm an ordinary member and supporter of the Green Party, and of the RNLI.
People can find them at www.RNLI.org, where they can make a donation or, even better, sign up for membership! 👍
I said in my speech to conference, the RNLI are the best of us.
For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.
Ukraine’s battlefield internet went dark without warning and the White House is to blame.
A Ukraine that can defend itself is what keeps Putin from a bigger war in Europe, the kind that ends with American troops on the front lines.
