The fossil fuel industry can't be trusted with a just energy transition. There has been goodwill, dialogue & difficult conversations (which will continue) but at the end of the day, these statements show the truth - a lack of commitment to transition. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I'm looking forward to get started on the JUST-Systems research programme, advancing a people centred approach to Net Zero that directly benefits communities and places around the UK.

Reminder: We will not get the results tonight. Don't let the horse race media coverage and repeated "Breaking News" chyrons get to you. Stay calm, drink water, and wait it out. Every vote must be counted.

Its a sad indictment on @AberdeenCC that a city flush with wealth could never save its public leisure center. It's hurt a generation of kids with nowhere to go for indoor free swimming and play. No plans for replacement in the current plans. youtube.com/watch?v=_RRQuM…

The Biden performance was as bad as the headlines suggest. (Most) US media isn’t like the U.K.’s It’s an objective take. Trump lied through his teeth, of course, but the focus on Biden’s fragility is necessary & correct. Can’t see how he survives this. It’s all very sad.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the removal of Scotland's 3-mile fishing limit by the Thatcher government. Our fisheries' capacity to keep local people on both sea & land has never recovered. That is why @TheOpenSeas campaigns to restore the limit. Read: ourseas.scot/news/a-history…

Been a busy few days as a reviewer for the EU Biodiversa + call. A lot of great proposals and teams working on nature based solutions. Good to see such commitment and innovation around saving the natural world.

Excellent analysis by @jessralston2 on the false narrative around increasing domestic oil production and energy security. In short... increasing domestic FF production has nothing to do with energy security.
