Rachel Wolf: On policy, it’s not the Independent Group that’s driven to the margins. It’s the Conservative Right.

The new group’s platform is not very inspiring. But its biggest problem is it they won’t be very different from the Conservatives’.

Wilf Lytton: Our dependency on natural gas will cost us if we don’t act swiftly

Laura Sandys: We should support the Heineken of decarbonisation – Carbon Capture reaches parts that other technologies can’t reach.

By Laura Sandys | 6 November 2018 | 24 comments

Mark Stockwell: The plastics ban. It may go down well at middle-class dinner parties. But it won’t tackle the real environmental issues.

The Government should resist Defra’s enthusiasm for bans and emphasise public education, plus the enforcement of existing anti-littering laws, instead.

By Mark Stockwell | 23 October 2018 | 25 comments
