The Tories have announced they would abolish Natural England, support a Third Runway & pull the UK out of the Aarhus Convention - in further signs they’ve totally given up on Middle England, don’t give a toss about the environment & just want to please some wealthy grouse moor owners & raving YIMBYs

Tory party press release: “[We will leave the Aarhus] Convention that powers the lawfare hindering every major infrastructure project in this country.”

“Abolish Natural England and the Environment Agency, moving to a more streamlined regulatory landscape to protect our environment.”

Tory PR: “Support a Third Runway at Heathrow Airport and wider expansion, increasing capacity to deliver cheaper flights, better connections for passengers, and more exports of high-value British goods.”

I wrote to Miatta Fahnbulleh to urge her to publish a Fossil Fuel Transition Roadmap ahead of COP31 in November. Ending all new licenses & publishing a clear roadmap will show that the UK is not just calling for a global transition, but delivering one.

The post is a graphic. At the top, white text on a light green background says:

"The Government must publish a fossil fuel transition roadmap before COP31"

The rest of the image shows the top of a letter to Miatta Fahnbulleh.

Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero
Cc: The Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, Katie White MP

Dear Secretary of State,

RE: Securing a fossil fuel transition roadmap for the UK

I am writing on behalf of the Green Party of England and Wales to urge your department to move swiftly to publish a comprehensive fossil fuel transition roadmap for the UK ahead of COP31 in November."

The post is a text box on a dark green background. In the box is a parliamentary paper-style letter extract that reads:

"The impacts of the climate and nature emergency are escalating at a terrifyingly dangerous rate, as global temperatures continue to climb rapidly.

At the same time, the poorest peoples of the world, with the least historic responsibility for climate emissions, continue to bear the brunt of climate breakdown.

As you will be aware, nearly a year ago, at COP30 in Belém, the UK endorsed a fossil fuels transition roadmap. More recently, at the Santa Marta TAFF conference in April, the UK reiterated its support for such a roadmap. Since then, France, Germany and the Netherlands have all published plans.

In this context, it is unacceptable that the government is still yet to publish a comprehensive domestic roadmap"

The post is a text box on a dark green background. In the box is a parliamentary paper-style letter extract that reads:

"The UK cannot claim global leadership at COP31 while expanding fossil fuels at home.

Ending all new licenses – including Jackdaw and Rosebank - and publishing a clear
roadmap will demonstrate that the UK is not merely calling for global transition, but
actively delivering the domestic plan required to deliver one.

Can your department confirm that such a roadmap will be published before COP31?
And will you meet with me to discuss how we can work together to advance this
strategy?

Yours sincerely,
Carla Denyer MP
Green Party Spokesperson for Energy and Net Zero"

Tom Tugendhat in Sunday Times insists on leaving the ECHR to tackle “soaring” immigration. What a miserable rat. Lying to us all. Betraying our country’s best interests. Threatening to flounce out of our human rights framework, trashing our treaties and torching our protection from abuses of power.

The Tories are planning to make the ECHR a dividing line at the next election. Last week the party announced plans to deport every foreign criminal, apart from those convicted of the most trivial offences, and said their plan for ECHR withdrawal meant only the Conservatives were equipped to take on the problem of soaring immigration. One of the problems withdrawal would create is a legal dispute over whether it breaches the Good Friday agreement, which committed the UK to fully incorporate the ECHR into Northern Ireland's justice system. Tugendhat said the issue had not yet been raised in his conversations with lawmakers in the US, adding:
"There's a lot of work to be done."
