New research shows that MPs underestimate support for climate policies, and overestimate opposition A terrible situating with a big silver lining - if we all communicate how much we want action, and visibly demand it, that perception will change Write to your MP!

Ban second jobs for MP's. No-one can seriously expect MP's with second incomes amounting to millions to be really working for the British public, they work for their financial backers. How Farage can say he is anti-establishment and 'one of the people' while earning millions is a joke.
