Long-time #opendata watchers will remember the Agricultural Land Classification as the dataset that Natural England salami-sliced in 2016, after Liz Truss promised Defra would unlock at least 8,000 datasets over the course of a year x.com/guyshrubsole/s…

"The tragedy that claimed 72 lives was not merely a terrible accident, but the result of a dangerous experiment that took hold of at the heart of government for over a decade." labourlist.org/2024/09/labour…

There are days in politics that you are particularly proud of. Today is one of those, because we are debating the Great British Energy Bill in Parliament. This Government won a mandate for the first publicly-owned national energy company in 75 years. It will be owned by you

So pleased that Plantlife were able to present Alex Sobel MP for Leeds Central and Headingley with this award 🌱 It was a pleasure meeting Alex at COP15 in Montreal (and he used to be my MP before boundary changes!)

Other countries are doing it - why don't we? The Local Power Plan is a major part of The Labour Party's plans for Great British Energy - and as Ed Miliband says, it will deliver the biggest expansion in support for community owned energy in history.
