I gave Keir Starmer a copy of Doughnut Economics just 10 days before he became Labour Party Leader. So will the book make it onto his bookshelves in Number 10? More importantly: will policies for a regenerative & distributive UK become real under this government?...

I see @AllisonPearson is talking about EVs again in the @Telegraph

Very eye-opening to see who's leading the way on clean energy investment – and who's leading on fossil fuels
China: Clean energy investment 3.7x fossil fuels
Europe: 5.5x more in clean energy
N America: Biggest investor in fossil fuels
Middle East: 5.4x more on fossil fuels

The US joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance is a very big deal, both in and of itself and for the signal it sends to the fossil fuel industry as a whole. businessgreen.com/news/4152455/p…
