@AirportWatch Airports bullying local authorities into accepting their planet frying growth because this spineless administration does not have the minerals to stand up and say that all airport expansion conflicts with its legal obligation to tackle climate change. Good Law Project ClientEarth

Interesting to see #RishiOut already trending. Here's a good suggestion for The Labour Party 👇👇👇

Iain Duncan Smith tells Andrew Marr show that Boris Johnson “made no plans….had no team. He kind of expected I think when he arrived that there would be at least 150 claiming him...suddenly they find themselves struggling and begging people for votes. That was demeaning.”

Translation: No, I didn't want Rishi either. Yes, I'll stitch him up good and proper, just as soon as I think no-one's looking

Comforting thought: Given there are 353 Tory MPs who haven't yet had a crack at being leader - and even at the current rate of a new leader every 44 days - it will be another 42 years before the Tories really scrape the bottom of the barrel and let Craig Mackinlay have a go

More to the point what has he done full stop? Craig Mackinlay #Ramsgate deserves better.

"The borders watchdog said he was left speechless by “wretched conditions” during a visit to a migrant processing centre at Manston, which has already passed the point of being unsafe." theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/o…

At the Labour Creatives reception Keir Starmer speaks to a room full of creative industries leaders, promising a Labour government will back them “to the hilt”. Starmer highlights the sector’s economic AND soft power “we are a creative and cultural superpower”

So #RishiSunak confirms he won't be attending #COP27 and he reinstates Graham Stuart MP - a man who says producing more fossil fuels is "good for the environment" - as Environment Minister. More ERG appeasement to prove he's not as green as they fear after fracking announcement

It’s 2022. I cannot accept that any commentator is seriously still denying the climate crisis exists. #bbcqt
