Lots of #heatpump chat today.. The £450m pot to provide £5k subsidies for climate friendly heat pumps is enough to convert the heating systems of 90k homes over three years - or around 0.3% of all homes. Which won’t make a dent in our CO2 emissions. @BorisJohnson
We have 20 years to do 100%. This is a covid like gamble and economic nonsense. Heat pumps have a 5 to 10 year payback on a large upfront cost. Similar to solar panels that have taken 20 years to reach about 8% of homes when we ought to be at 25%. We need #ClimateActionNow

I am just eavesdropping on two middle-aged women talking about how they voted. They are chuckling about how they voted “leave” (ie Tory) to “spite” their kids.
Their logic was “it’ll teach them to depend on themselves, like WE had to”.
These are women who have spent their entire lives with the support of a welfare state and EU membership since they were in their teens.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
