News review: #coalfreeforever, EU green surge and Theresa May’s legacy

Date:

6 June, 2019

Episode notes

In this episode: Amy and Matt investigate the green surge in the European parliamentary elections and look ahead to another really significant election – but one with a much smaller electorate: the race to become the next Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister, following Theresa May’s resignation. Plus, can we achieve #coalfreeforever? Amy and Matt celebrate the UK’s longest period without burning coal for electricity since the Industrial Revolution.

Plus reasons to be cheerful: we celebrate the Welsh government’s decision to protect the Gwent levels and not build the M4 Relief Road and Michael Gove’s ban on plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds.
