Just spotted that the new Govt. has withdrawn from defending the decision of the previous Govt. to grant permission for the development of a new coal mine in Cumbria, which reaches the high court next week.
Offering no defence (due to the recent recognition by the housing department of an 'error in law') the appeal against the decision to go ahead will succeed & the coal mine will be no more.
For those wondering about Keir Starmer's green credentials, this looks like a good first step.
