And her plans for Investment Zones are being reviewed…as usual posh people’s frothing over the environment must take priority over poor people.
In the US, if you want to improve a neighborhood, there will be rallies by (some) residents against gentrification. I understand their point about rents going up, but on the other hand, it seems like an argument for keeping poor neighborhoods poor perpetually. That feels wrong.  

This L.A. restaurant was excited to open. Then the graffiti and protests happened

When the gentry arrive, they add nothing to the area. I've seen it in Donegal the last 30 years. Also the Anglification by the hordes from Dublin 4. 

yuk, closed 11 months/year. And they bring their own victuals. And they don't speak Gaelic.

St. Patrick's "snakes" are often understood to refer to the pagans who pre-dated Irish Christianity.

So, yeah.

Anyway, a European viper is a cute and historically important snake that would hardly ever hurt anyone. Mostly.

The top 1% of earners in the UK are responsible for the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions in a single year as the bottom 10% over more than two decades, new data has shown.
Autonomy also found that if the UK had started taxing carbon emissions from just the top 1% of income groups two decades ago, the effort could have raised about £126bn by now, which could have gone towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in an equitable way, for instance through home insulation for poorer households.
 
Flying, driving large, expensive cars, owning multiple homes and travelling between them, eating a diet rich in meat and imports, buying more clothes and imported luxury goods are all reasons for the richest generating far higher carbon footprints. Poorer people tend to stay closer to home in small houses and use public transport, while their expenditure on luxuries and items such as “fast fashion” is much smaller.


 Lost opportunity for Liz..

What about the richer people living in listed houses who are freezing because they aren’t permitted to install double glazing?

Me? Thank you for including me as a "richer person."

Anyway I'm from the north. We don't feel the cold. T-shirts and shorts all year around.

The idea that you can forcefully carry a member of the governing body through a magic door to effect their vote against their better judgment is a curiosity of the English system. But at least it is no longer violating EU rules.
Fake news. Sorry.

Even The Independent is now saying that Liz was on to something when she said that the BoE has too much power for a non-elected bunch of sheep. Although I added the sheep bit myself.

At this rate Liz will be canonized before Xmas. Such a dramatic rise, fall and rise again she’ll be getting whiplash.

No whip.

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss contests bill for use of country retreat
https://www.rte.ie/news/uk/2023/0430/13 ... izz-truss/

Chevening, a 115-room country retreat in Kent, was left to the nation by the 7th Earl Stanhope after his death in 1967 and has traditionally been used by the foreign secretary of the day.

You could house a lot of homeless people there.
