There's plenty he can do. For starters, there are lots of issues with the UK's privatised water infrastructure. This could either be brought back into public ownership, or the government could put more pressure on these companies to maintain the infrastructure to address all the leaks. Also the last major dam built in the UK was back in 1975, so the government could invest in new dam projects.
I stumbled upon this article, after George Monbiot posted about it:
It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet
The project is only profitable for Equinor because the UK taxpayers would shoulder almost all of Rosebank’s development cost.
The comedic candidate has pledged to make corners in football properly refereed, end subsidy for food and drink in parliament, conscript people who play loud music on public transport and force cyclists who break the highway code to ride unicycles instead.
I could definitely get behind these policies.
For the people voting this down, this article highlights an important issue, which is that women aged 55 and over are at growing risk of homelessness.
Even more worrying for Sandra is the prospect of joining the fastest-growing group of people experiencing homelessness in Australia: women aged 55 and over.
Sydney-based Bacon has particular concern for the rising number of women facing homelessness in their older years.
She says this is because women typically have about 25 per cent less superannuation than men, due to the gender pay gap, which flows onto a gender retirement gap and motherhood penalty.
According to the article, he has spent the last four years living in the UK, so it's not that unreasonable to expect that's where his support network is.
I used to refer to the Marine Conservation Society's Good Fish Guide on the odd occasion I'd eat fish. Back then I remember mackerel being sustainable, sadly that is no longer the case as the guide for mackerel now says:
Most mackerel sold in the UK needs improvement because of long-term overfishing. Avoid mackerel caught using gillnets.
Some people, myself included, like the taste and ritual of drinking beer, but don't want to get drunk.
The article does say that income is a factor:
Income also plays a role, with people living in more deprived areas tending to drink less than their more affluent neighbours.
It's certainly drawing the battle lines for the election, particularly with the Greens being the most popular party for voters under 50.
