Goodness, UK really needs a Public Enquiry to identify those who knowingly lied to the public, the foreign actors who helped undermine the economic health of the country, and find ways for those who voted Brexit to recover their dignity.

Sometimes you think a script is gonna go a certain way, but then once you’re done you realize you were wrong and need to choose between going forward with something meh or rewriting 80% of the thing you thought was done.
Rewriting is always the right choice.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020.

Could the far right be far right?!
We found countless examples and testimonies and it is clear that, based on most serious definitions, they are indeed far right and a threat to democracy
However, we asked them and they said they are not.

Climate change affects EVERYTHING. It’s mad that the issue has become left-coded when it should be just reality-coded
Climate change is a kitchen table issue. For most people a home is their largest investment, when climate change depresses their property values or makes their home uninsurable, it's a huge economic hit.
Rising Home Insurance Premiums Are Eating Into Home Values in Disaster-Prone Areas
Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.
