I'm going to say something now that will annoy a fair few people. I apologise in advance. Staying silent would be worse.

Under normal circumstances it might have power. But things aren't normal.
We are led by a PM who thinks nothing of a 25 minute private plane ride to avoid a 53 minute train journey.

If he gets a full 5 year term, he's all set to tear up EU environmental safeguards after we Brexit. If you think the chaos of his first 141 days has been bad, that pales next to the destruction he could unleash once he's been annointed with a majority.

Stop Boris Johnson, stop the Tories, stop Brexit, and there will be a chance to pivot towards the environment.
Especially since the EU announced a massive new environmental focus *yesterday*.
But let BJ in and it's over!
