BREAKING: The High Court rules Rishi Sunak's climate plan is unlawful, in major victory for green groups. The campaigners argued that Grant Shapps signed off the government's climate plan to reach Net Zero without any evidence it could actually be achieved.

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

#PhallusThursday Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a flying phallus! You can just spy the loop at the bottom that would enable this to be worn as a protective amulet. Ah, Rome, the society where wearing a phallus bespoke good fortune, health, and warded off the evil eye.

Who pays tax? A quarter of people with £2m income paid less than 20% of their income in tax One in ten with £2m income paid only 10% – less than someone on the minimum wage. Tax law facilitates poverty, class war and riches for the rich. More here: ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.

Look forward to discussing this on a BBC programme- any programme - hopefully with a BBC big cheese who could tell me where I’m wrong
