     When #Labour dropped their Green Pledge of £28 billion I had to admit to myself that the window for real #climate action in this country had just been slammed shut.

     I want politicians to be honest about their fears for the near future.

     We can’t be too cheap to save ourselves.

     Fiscal rules have been broken plenty of times in my lifetime.

     I don’t care if we tax and borrow our way to really reach our climate targets…the alternative is just war, famine, floods and anarchy.

     Bill repeated this.
