📢 Tories have pledged to abolish Natural England & Environment Agency. A year ago I flagged both as highly exposed to political interference. They've been weakened by yrs of cuts & loss of autonomy. Abolition removes scrutiny but doesn't fix problems christinapagel.substack.com/p/abolishing...

Abolishing our independent public bodies removes scrutiny without fixing the underlying problem

BBC correspondent (on JD Vance remarks re: recent stabbings) "This is not the first time the US has intervened in British politics." 'Intervening' implies taking action, often to rescue a situation. I think the word they were looking for was 'interfering', which usually makes a situation worse.

Fossil fuels are subsidised by governments - whether directly, through tax breaks or by allowing them to pollute + pass clean up costs onto the taxpayer. In turn, plastics + chemicals made from fossil fuels are artificially cheap. This is not a level playing field. www.imf.org/en/blogs/art...
