Chris Packham has filed a high court legal challenge to the UK government over its decision to weaken key climate policies.

The broadcaster and environmental campaigner has applied for a judicial review of the government’s decision to ditch the timetable for phasing out petrol and diesel powered cars and vans, gas boilers, off-grid fossil fuel domestic heating and minimum energy ratings for homes.

    Is there any movement to try and force an election? We’re all just sitting here, letting these arseholes continue to fuck up the country.

      Sadly afaik there is literally no way to legally force an early election if parliament won’t do it, and that means whoever has a majority

      So yeah, lots of desire, no ability to do so
