So, to start the year I wrote a self indulgent piece on parenting in an age of climate crisis. It's long, bleak, and contains actual emotions, but don't let that put you off. Hopefully it's useful to someone.https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/blog-post/3084916/noahs-rainbow-raising-children-in-an-age-of-climate-crisis …

Keeps rolling back to the same question for me - is this good enough? Is it the best possible outcome? The UK has had two bad crises within one generation, and unremarkable/weak recoveries to follow. 'Does it have to be this bad' doesn't seem to be discussed so much.

I was intrigued by the OBR's dismal forecasts for UK GDP growth to 2025, so found the IMF comparisons. If forecasts come close to true, per capita GDP growth will have been just 6% in the *eighteen years* since 2007. Around half Japan's. Closer to Italy than to US/Germany.pic.twitter.com/8jEzYT9Qop

While Trump was president, EVERY Democrat voted for the $2 trillion CARES Act, even though doing so helped Trump. While Biden is president, ZERO Republicans voted for the $1.9 trillion American Relief Plan, because hurting Biden is more important than helping Americans.

Isn’t the most pertinent point about the NHS 1% pay rise row the fact the service is facing a massive staffing shortage. I thought it was Conservatives who were meant to be all about market economics.

With schools fully reopening tomorrow we all need to do our bit to ease pressure on public transport, so I'd urge any parents + pupils to
or
to school if they can! As a healthy / fun way to commute it helps make sure those needing to use public transport can do safely.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Even if you adjust by population size the equivalent in England would be the entire health, welfare and education budgets for a year. Hard to argue that markets are scared of borrowing right now...https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1368251765402066947 …

Always the same story: pitting private and public sector workers against one another, all so we can dedicate money to paying back a debt that doesn't need to be.https://twitter.com/benrileysmith/status/1367788008234246145 …

There’s a lot of talk on here about when you decided that actually coronavirus was definitely going to be a thing. The year has been such a blur I couldn’t tell you until today I came across *the moment* I realised it would be terriblepic.twitter.com/WmDEVNLHNq

A right-wing teacher beloved by current UK govt calls for "both sides" of climate change be taught in schools. The policy response, yes. But not the science. How hard is this to understand? This all feels very 1987... (From today's Times)pic.twitter.com/gDMRY3iU5U

One of those weeks when it feels like we’ll only start to take climate action properly seriously after we’ve exhausted every possible alternative avenue, pursued all available distractions, and engaged in every procrastination tactic on offer.
