Clean energy has been wildly successful. Non-hydro renewables (primarily solar and wind) have increased from near-zero in 2005 to producing 22% of global electricity, and are on track to produce more than natural gas this year:

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:
theclimatebrink.com
What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
Clean energy does not simply “add to” global energy use; it displaces fossil sources that would otherwise get built.

In my opinion, one of the great intellectual crimes of the 20th century was the UN General Assembly's repeal of its own resolution that Zionism is a form of racism. As an anti-Zionist Jew, I see Zionism as a Jewish adoption of the anti-Semitic ideas which originated and predominated in Europe.

The problem in the restaurant industry is the customers aren't prepared to pay a realistic price for their meal. Hence poor wages for staff. Employers say "yeah, but thats why we accept tips". Not all customers tip though , and to rely on tips to top up ones wages is degrading anyway... imo

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people. Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians". It's really not hard to grasp this basic point!

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.”

Burnham's comments have added more fuel to the long running Brexit debate, both pro and anti, yet figures and polling suggests that some form of closer ties with the EU would be both beneficial economically and popular. Full re-entry is unlikely, single market and customs union more so firstly.
