Burnham is saying all of the right things, it's what he does and he does it very very well. His track record suggests he won't deliver much of it, if any. I would be unbelievably happy if I end up being wrong on this.

Sometime around 30,000 years before the current era, somewhere in the midst of the land that would become Germany, a human sat in a cave and sculpted a horse. Later, we would call it the Vogelherd horse: the earliest horse sculpture ever found. Original post

Fucksake. Experts are clear that burning the reserves in *existing* oil and gas fields would far exceed the remaining global carbon budget for 1.5°C, so developing any new oil and gas fields would push the world further into dangerous climate territory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.
