Prob the worst and most idiotic decision Sunak made was to take Johnson’s Rwanda gimmick on board as a serious policy. And fail. History won’t be kind.

There are lots of numbers currently flying back & forth predicting a serious impact on jobs in the UK--esp in Scotland--if new oil & gas licences aren't issued. Much of this is misleading & misses what's actually needed to secure North Sea jobs for the future. A short 🧵: /1

FACTCHECK Almost everything Reform Party and its leader Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 say about climate and energy is wrong On BBC Breakfast, Tice blamed volcanoes for warming And Reform's manifesto packed 30 false or misleading statements into 500-words on energy/env theguardian.com/environment/ar…

🔥NEW: World temperatures over the last 12 months have soared at 1.5c above their pre-industrial era average. Opening new fossil fuel projects will only pour more fuel on the fire and accelerate climate breakdown We must #StopRosebank
