Banning wood-burning stoves is a disaster for us. They are a key part of our net zero by 2030 strategy. Practical & cheap to fit compared to heat pumps etc. They provide hot water in winter when solar thermal can't. Island timber harvesting provides local affordable fuel & jobs.

If I was Starmer and wanted to make the UK influential again on the international stage (and reduce the toxicity of UK party politics), I would keep David Cameron in place as Foreign Sec. I know, Brexit and all that, but he is a stable & serious voice in unstable times.
