Yesterday I spent 3.5 hours labelling all the bride’s beer cans for a friend’s wedding (beer brewed specially for it with their involvement), as part of their setup at the wedding venue. At the same time someone else did all the groom’s cans.

bp selling its North Sea production assets is just a continuation of business. Here's a main list of previous UK production assets that bp operated, and government in place when they disposed of them: (apologies if I have missed any)

She hints at what her plan will entail - nature, nuclear, flood defences, markets and innovation - but all this is already being done. If free markets and innovation (without carbon pricing) worked as an adequate answer on their own to the climate crisis the problem would be solved already.
