Sadly my lovely EV's climate-saving credentials have been somewhat dented by being strapped to the back of a diesel-guzzling flat bed recovery truck. Electrical fault (not going to be a petrol fault, is it?) Replacement courtesy car is a... 2.5L Petrol Audi. Sigh.

I can't imagine what it must be like to be homeless in cold weather like this. A friend is trying to do something to help - if you have a few spare pounds, they couldn't go to a better cause. gofund.me/7bcfbb6c

This budget could have delivered a retrofit revolution to create 140,000 jobs, slash energy bills, cut emissions & benefit the economy by £7 billion a year. Instead we get dogma & deregulation - an environment-wreckers charter to benefit fossil fuel giants & the super-wealthy

And hooray for the future generations of workers who will join we current-day plebs in paying off the debt burden for their entirety of their lives. Live it up now, embrace consumerism, let's fill our cupboards with cr*p we don't need and boost that economy. /3

After all we don't need to worry about dwindling resources or global warming, because the super-rich will come up with ideas to fix it all for us. In Liz we Trust. Net zero? Sod that, net 100% more profits now, please! /out
