How fucked are we?
We're really fucked
I'm in favour of a Land Value Tax, this means hoarding land becomes expensive. It also means grouse moores and golf courses become expensive (good things in my mind)
The house building companies already have vast amounts of land they own with planning permission in place. They restrict the amount of housing they build to artificially keep the prices high, if they build too many, the prices they could sell their houses for would drop, reducing profit. These are private companies and the government has little control over them. This is why every government for the last few generations has promised more houses and delivered nothing.
When we again weigh each sensitivity by the percent-area for the Earth, our global average ECS is 7.2 °C per doubling of CO2, much higher than the most recent IPCC estimates of 2.3 to 4.5 °C and consistent with some of the latest state-of-the-art models which suggest ca. 5.2 °C
2.3c means crop failures and food shortages globally. 5.2c means the end of our civilisation. 7.2c means the end of our species.
Makes me laugh that she thinks calling Tennant Rich is an insult when Sunnak is literally richer than the King
Withdrawing in Clacton but fighting in Bristol Central, as if we didn't already know what this Labour party stands for now.

Just hedging his chances, if he doesn't win he wins his £8k bet, if he wins then his nose is in the trough at Westminster. It's win/win for him (and lose/lose for the public)
The problem is, there is a demand for them. The parents are choosing to send their kids to these schools knowing what they are.
Personally I would ban all private schools and ensure ALL children went to public school, this would ensure that the kids had a good rounded education, as well as ensure funding was adequate as the rich kids would go there too.
Yes, thats what will save the Tories, a new leader.....
there are too many people
This is the root cause of most of our problems.
Climate change is just a symptom of overshoot.
BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.
It's astonishing they can be so bad at marketing
I think Labour will win a landslide this year, but 2029 (or earlier) will give voters enough time to be frustrated that despite all the talk about change, nothing will in fact change. That plus war on the horizon (literally maybe) and it seems that a right wing government of some description will be in power next. That may be a reform/tory merger of some sort, or it could even be labour lurching even further to the right. Either way, I fear we are headed into dystopia.
