If you love East Suffolk, or if you think spending 10 years creating the biggest construction site in Europe to build a massive seaside nuclear plant is NOT the most efficient way to create renewable energy and help climate change, please sign this. stopsizewellcpetition.com/

Brexit was expected to hit London's position as Europe's financial capital but no rival city is close to claiming its crown on.wsj.com/2tJl43q

Brexit Killing London as Financial Hub? Not Just Yet

Brexit was meant to be a crippling blow to London’s position as the financial capital of Europe. But so far, the British capital’s role remains mostly undiminished, and no single other European city...

I've used Heathrow, it's a great airport, but I can't support a vote to build a 3rd runway there. The environmental impact will harm my children, my grandchildren and generations to come. I'll be urging others to vote the same way.

You could almost believe the DfT Communications team was just an offshoot of the Heathrow PR machine.

Local communities remember a strict planning condition of the fifth terminal go ahead years ago.....there’d be no third runway. So this is a meaningless promise from increasingly desperate DfT. #heathrowexpansion #environmentmatters ft.com/content/ff72d6e0-71ac…

Heathrow third runway is a bad deal for my community and for our country. It’s expensive & polluting. We need a 21st century UK airports strategy - regional airports with more connectivity on people’s doorsteps and helping regional economic growth. #Heathrow #Putney #London

London Assembly reaffirms its opposition to Heathrow expansion, citing figures unearthed by our members which show 973,000 households (or 2.2 million) set to be impacted by noise from an expanded Heathrow. internationalairportreview.c… Thanks for the continued support #No3rdRunway

Happy days, eh? Cameron, who made out that he would oppose the runway, and then began to plan expanding Heathrow within a year. Theresa May making statements about her opposition to the runway, and shortly afterwards giving it her full backing. Very hard to love the Conservatives xitter.cf/johnprescott/status/79…

Happy #worldenvironmentday everyone. Government has picked a fantastic day to commit billions of pounds of public money to help a giant foreign owned corporate massively increase air-pollution for millions of its citizens. Hooray!

Apple Now Runs On 100% Green Energy, And Here's How It Got There

The most important thing about the company’s big renewable push might be that it’s bringing everyone--from suppliers to local utilities--along for the ride.
