On Friday evening I spoke with BBC Look North about the 2024 General Election results 📺👇

Are you a yimby or a NIMBY?

Wow, that was quick. The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power. Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals" gov.uk/government/pub…

I'm struggling to get my head around the massive 78% year-on-year surge in China's solar power output In May 2024 alone, China got more electricity from solar than most countries did in the whole of 2023 🤯

Nigel Farage, whose party won five seats in Parliament, received the third-highest amount of media coverage during the election. Green leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey, whose party won four seats in Parliament, didn't even make the top 20... thelondoneconomic.com/politics/who-a…

It is a scandal that water firms are hiking bills whilst dumping sewage into our rivers. Ofwat is no longer fit for purpose. We need a new regulator with the power to turn water companies into public benefit corporations where profit is used to reinvest in our infrastructure.

The two-child limit is causing widespread poverty. The Liberal Democrats, with 72 MPs, will push to scrap this limit and lift millions out of poverty.

And here it is... restoring #Nature AND #ClimateChange action must go hand in hand. It's this simple FACT that the conservative party can't seem to grasp..

Overjoyed to hear that Ed Miliband has given consent to three large-scale solar farms today: Sunnica, Gate Burton and Mallard Pass. It's still only his first week in office. Onwards to a decarbonised and secure power system! solarenergyuk.org/news/industry-…

The Liberal Democrats are calling to scrap Ofwat and establish the Clean Water Authority. To help finally end the sewage scandal and make water companies accountable for the damage they've caused.

Time trial at #goodwood festival of speed? EV the winner... James Murray for festival?

We Liberal Democrats are proud to back the Climate & Nature Bill—and we echo Zero Hour's call for the #CANBill to be included in the King's Speech. The time for action is now. x.com/zerohour_uk/st…

Parties to the Montreal Protocol recently gathered in the Canadian city to address ozone layer protection and climate change mitigation. Key discussions included life-cycle refrigerant management and climate-friendly propellants for inhalers. OzoneSecretariat: ozone.unep.org/parties-montre…

As in many debates the decision to make isn't a binary yes or no. I'm blessed to count Pippa Heylings 🔶️ as one of my closer mentors and leaders within my network. This is how politics should work... #climatechange #nimby #yimby politicshome.com/news/article/n…

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

Peaceful protest shouldn’t be criminalised. We stand in solidarity with Reclaim The Power and the 22 activists pre-emptively arrested yesterday.
