To the left of the current Labour leadership, yes.

Among smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats have gained over 60 seats, and Reform, the Greens and Plaid Cymru have also gained seats. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, now contesting as an independent, retained Islington North. Labour lost another three seats to independents who ran against its inaction on Palestine. The SNP and DUP suffered big losses, while Sinn Fein’s fortunes seem to have remained unchanged.
Doesn’t that already exist in parts of the US? I know the UK and Germany have it.
The new law does grant draft immunity — for police officers, prosecutors, judges, lawmakers and senior government officials
The usual suspects. Angry old men sending naive young (wo)men to die.
It’s big enough that not all of it will burn up. And you don’t want the debris to hit someone.
What about equally high tariffs for petrol / diesel from anywhere, equally low tariffs for EVs, and subsidies for cycles and public transport?
Sorry, I meant Canadian warships.
The emissions saved from removing a few hundred ACs are negligible. But the message it sends to the millions watching the Olympics is significant. Which, again, is why I am hoping there will be at least some symbolic action against rule-breakers - it will start a conversation about the need to regulate / ban ACs.
First of all, [citation needed]. Second, even if it is, a good message is being sent.

now they start targeting Christians
By asking religious bodies to pay tax? Why do religious organisations get tax exemptions anyway?
I think they’re trolling. In reality, it could mean they have a justification to attack / sieze any Canadian ships that stray into the Persian Gulf. But that would be a pretty huge provocation, so it’s unlikely.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Everyone is being asked to accept an equal handicap, so that the world does not become even hotter in the coming years. It’s largely symbolic, I agree, but I suppose kicking out a team that prioritises its medal tally over the climate crisis would send an even stronger signal.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Most teams seem to be respecting this decision.
I think they’re only including mainstream models.
Sure, and I would prevail in a fistfight against Saitama.
It’s to fight the honkai when they start appearing in our universe. (Jokes aside, a company that needs to run a lot of servers would be interested in cheap energy.)
Labour lost four seats to independents running against its inaction on Gaza.
