Great words from @sarahcoombesmp.bsky.social @umakumaran.bsky.social and others on why what was decided in Belem matters in their constituencies #cop30 labourlist.org/2025/11/cop3...

As MPs, we will do everything we can to keep the UK at the heart of the global effort to build a better future. Four Labour MPs on why they went to COP30.

London’s getting some funding to keep it awesome
NEW: Plans are underway for a tourist levy to supercharge London's economy. It could raise *millions* to fund major improvements in our city.
London is the greatest city in the world, but there’s always more to do! A tourist levy would make it an even better place to live and visit for everyone.

Reminder - this doesnt just affect trans people.
Hannah Botterman is a icon and English legend - is scared to go to the loo alone in case people now challenge her.
And this advice would entirely empower them.

Fundamentally, it's a policy of excluding trans people from public life. That's it.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.
Get fucked.

Good one for the @carbonbrief.org quiz @leohickman.carbonbrief.org
Climate debate hive mind: there is a line in the new Ian McEwan novel (highly recommended!) that refers to some climate change deniers in the UK. I know the last two he’s referring to, but not the first. Minor thing but it’s been bothering me for days! Help!

This month I announced that London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide for the first time ever.
When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than predicted.

Thatcher first PM to raise global warming at the UN. Theresa May first G7 leader to legislate to stop unmitigated emissions. The Tories have turned their back on their own leaders, their own global leadership, their own credibility.
