The textile industry produced more emissions than international aviation and shipping combined.
Border carbon taxes are not merely necessary to reduce those emissions, but also for re-shoring domestic manufacturing jobs, and reducing the waste associated with this out of control industry.

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.
We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump.

Picture presumably looking into Epsteinβs cell from the door.
Bunk bed on far wall,masses of orange material scattered everywhere, white mattress on floor, small shelf, stainless steel sink near door, liquid on floor, polystyrene cup and a black box electrical item - defibrillator?
Picture of orange strip of material (with noose at end) that doubles back on itself. A tape measure underneath in inches that is open 28 inches wide
*Trigger Warning*

How would you manage to tear them up without sharp objects? Cut so perfectly at the top.

People in South East say heating oil prices have soared in wake of Iran war
People across the South East say the cost of heating their home soared after war broke out in Iran.
This is so trueππΌπ‘
Weβre very rural, so rely on oil fuel for the boiler, and the price has more than doubled in 2 weeks..
No way has impact of Middle East hit them to that extent so quickly, itβs pure profiteering on existing supplies because they know our only option is no hot water or heatβοΈ
