The Greens are winning the support of around half of 18 to 24 year olds.
Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!
And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

Dumping on this scale was not just predictable, but predicted. It's the direct result of:
a. 15 years of austerity
b. Reining in and defunding the regulators at the behest of lobbyists.
But it makes you wonder: were the Tories lobbied by professional crime syndicates? Otherwise, why the hell ...?

The sheer scale of it shows that these people know they can get away with anything. The Environment Agency has been reduced to a chihuahua, sent out to do battle with rottweilers. It can yap, but can't land a bite. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This graphic shows the difference from the 1981-2010 baseline. Add about 0.60°C to get the anomaly above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.
In other words, an anomaly over pre-industrial above 1.80°C is likely in the next few days.

As families face rising bills, and extreme weather causes devastation around the world, oil and gas companies shouldn’t get a tax break. Tell Chancellor Rachel Reeves to not turn her back on climate and communities. Add your name

The collapse of the UK was hastened by Brexit, but it's been coming for a long time. Destroy the public sector and hand over water, energy etc to the profiteers. Then, as Starmer is doing, flog off the rest of the UK to billionaires. Started with Thatcher. It's called #Neoliberalism. Read this!

The WMO said limiting global heating to the Paris agreement target of 1.5C above preindustrial levels was now virtually impossible.
