Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

Evan Davis ended PM on Radio 4 by saying: “We’re all going to have to become a lot more expert in this area [climate].” We agree. Which is why hundreds of communities and organisations across the UK are hosting screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing. 🚨Anyone want to invite Evan to one?🚨

Holiday advice: It's pleasant to get a train to Europe. You just have to turn travelling into a core part of the holiday - lunch in Paris, dinner in Bordeaux, trip to Spain, week on beach etc. It's limiting, but very enjoyable & decent alternative to a flight you won't be able to afford by summer.

Immigration falls 68%, Reform declares emergency. Why? Because their business model requires crisis. When net migration drops from 944,000 to 204,000, they don't acknowledge progress - they escalate language. This isn't analysis. It's panic maintenance. buff.ly/61kjD2m (h/t Populist Decoder)
