Remembering David Amess a year on – more consensus is needed in politics
From the moment one met David Amess one was effectively won over by his genial smile and cheery remarks. His first sighting was as Basildon Man, first elected in 1983, representing a bell weather constituency that predicted the outcome of an election. Later, as Southend Man, David gained cross-party cheers at every end of term debate, questions to ministers or prime ministers raising the stakes to make Southend a city.

UK will miss net zero targets unless government uses every lever to change behaviours
We won’t reach net zero by 2050 unless people change their behaviours to adopt new technologies and use less carbon intensive products and services, as well as reduce carbon-intensive consumption. However, the government’s current approach to help people do this is inadequate.

The road to transport decarbonisation and the legacy it will leave
Much attention is given to the nationwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) due to its important position within the Government’s Net Zero Strategy. Some progress has been made; the UK Climate Change Committee’s most recent progress report found that purchases of EVs more than doubled between 2020 and 2021. However, we are currently forecast to only reach 36% of private vehicles being EV by 2030 when the Government ban on the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles commences. There are still barriers to overcome with a lack of public charging infrastructure a key concern for would be EV adopters, particularly those without access to off-street parking. Despite this, the pace of change across the UK is encouraging.
