For years scientists warned: Clear 20-25% of the Amazon and it collapses. We've cleared 17%. This isn't a future problem. It's happening now.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
Screenshot of an amendment to the King's Speech, voted on 23 July 2024. The Amendment is to abolish the two-child benefit cap and is signed by all four Green MPs.

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year). Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.
