What's the furthest you've been on holiday by train? @Jeremy_Williams went with his family from Luton to Örebro in Sweden, a journey that took three days but was worth every second 👇 flightfree.co.uk/post/a-swed…

After tumultuous week, worth reflecting: In the 37 years from 1979 to 2016 there were just 5 prime ministers. In the 6 years since 2016 we’ve also had 5 PMs Something pretty destabilising must have happened that year

So #RishiSunak confirms he won't be attending #COP27 and he reinstates @grahamstuart - 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

The cost of living and energy crises and the urgent requirement to safeguard the planet say that unfettered growth in aviation, where there is no realistic prospect of alternatives to fossil fuels, say aviation is fundamentally flawed; investors take heed.

Iain Duncan Smith tells @AndrewMarr9 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.”

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 @cmackinlay have a go

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. @GoodLawProject @ClientEarth
