If you are one of the people criticising the decision that 'nature' will be the theme of our new banknotes, please note:

You are not criticising the government, nor Labour, nor the Chancellor, nor the Bank of England.

You are criticising the public, who chose 'nature' above all other options.

Beth Rigby is describing on Sky News what she wants to happen to Keir Starmer over Peter Mandelson not what is likely to happen.
A factual reporter she ain't.

Animals on banknotes. Red letterboxes. Easter eggs. Tiny weeny diminished happy places in which to vent spleen. A country that, not so long ago, identified itself with far more consequential things. A patriotism of the gaps. Cultural shrinkflation.

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Something very funny about the US telling the guys sailing giant floating fireballs to sack up and run the Strait, then being like "no way, are you kidding? It's scary in there!" when someone asks fully armed US Navy warships to go.
