First we went to the @ORFC talk on the role farmers can play in slowing the flow, then we lived the experience of what life is like when it doesn't happen. Hurrah for the hardy @Riverford field team, rental car rescued.

It's really sobering to get closer to net zero policy. It's so clear we're not being *remotely* radical enough. e.g. 30,000 annual heat pump installations when the govt wants 600,000. We're nowhere near. The problem isn't just the policies, it's the methods we're using. 🧵

Got it in one. My constant gripe with a lot of the policy space, although their hearts are in the right place, is that 95% don't understand the scale of change we need.
Joe Guinan@joecguinan

Policy is important—and in some cases can be transformative. But only insofar as it alters the underlying structural conditions of our political economy. Policy within the existing structures can tweak or adjust, but it rarely transforms.

In a toxic culture the 1st few people in an organisation to speak up are ignored, bullied, ostracised, blamed, eventually pushed out. This is a warning to others to stay quiet. The culture is normalised. But sometimes it has affected so many people it creates an unstoppable force
