@wdlindsy Nigel Farage of the far-right Reform 'Party' is threatening to abolish net zero regulations and in the local councils they run, they have already tried to abolish DEI & sent their own DOGE-lite goons in.

@wdlindsy @wood5y They’re psychopaths. They can see power and money being firehosed onto fools.
