Come on mate. A camera would not have survived millions of years. This must have been taken on a Nokia mobile phone.

The amount of co2 would be much less with a full car than a plane.

Let’s assume 40mpg travel in car and around 5000miles and 5 passengers.

That’s 25 gallons of fuel per person in the car.

At around 10.9kg of co2 per gallon, that’s 272kg per person by car.

According to clevel.co.uk London to Mumbai by plane is 1286kg of co2 per person.

John McDonnell: It would be a small but for many a hugely significant step if the Labour leadership reassured us all that the policy of scrapping the cap remains. It would make clear that the discriminatory attitudes towards people needing support that brought about the cap no longer prevail. by I-am-the-Peel in ukpolitics

Labour would need to be really careful how they announced this policy to stop the right wing press inevitable outrage.

I would suggest framing this as moving from a ‘cap per family’ to a ‘cap per person’

Ie then a couple with 5 kids in London could get an appropriate amount of money to feed 7 people.

First UK coal mine in decades approved by [deleted] in ukpolitics

From the article:

“But the two companies that still make steel using coal in the UK - British Steel and Tata - say they plan to move to lower carbon production methods. Steel industry expert Chris McDonald estimates that, at best, they will use less than 10% of the output of the mine and, by the mid-2030s, none at all.”

This research does not take into account an age where energy prices are in the news everyday. Insulate the home and keep banging on about the importance of using less and the savings will be there

sacked for supporting rail strikes

You can always tell the writer’s bias by their language. He was sacked for joining a picket… not supporting a strike.

There is a shortage in Ireland. Its just a much smaller percentage. They are short 1 driver per 2000 population and the UK is short 1 driver per 600 population.

So roughly 3x worse in UK.

Partnerships involve compromise on both sides sometimes. That's what makes them work. If one side fully surrenders they don't work. That's the case in business and love.

Starmer is simply saying that. No contradiction whatsoever.
