The climate crisis was always going to bring an economic cost, which made the shrill protests over the cost of cutting carbon emissions so silly - we’ve long known it would be cheaper to reduce emissions than suffer the consequences.

Spot the difference. We didn't 5x the Cycleways network in London overnight. It took vision, hard work, & the conviction to invest in green infrastructure - often in the face of vocal opposition. In 2016, we had 90km of Cycleways. Now we're at 450km. That's progress. And we're not stopping there.
Graphic with the headline, “London’s cycle network is now five times larger than in 2016.” The upper map is labelled “BEFORE 2016” and shows London with a small number of bright green cycle routes concentrated around central London. The lower map is labelled “AFTER 2026” and shows London with many more bright green cycle routes extending across central and outer London.

Can we just clear up this idea that a vote for Count Binface in Clacton is a 'protest' vote. Jonathan Harvey comes from a long line of serious people who use comedy as a fierce political weapon. I don't know him and I don't live in Clacton-on-Sea but he could not be a worse MP than his predecessor.
