That’s because if they publish it, they will have to explain why they’re not doing enough about it.

• Fat majority in parliament
• Mandate for change
• Predecessor hated for being “more of the same”
• “Burnham Bounce”
• Just had a summer of extreme weather.
• 80% of UK population want more/faster action on climate.

If no help is coming from the government now, I doubt it’s going to happen any time soon.

Point taken, removed that bit 👍

Regarding nappies: you can start ‘potty training’ pretty much as soon as they’re born. It is babies instinct to try not to soil themselves. This is why it’s so common for parents to get peed on the moment they take off their baby’s nappy. You mostly just have to give your baby lots of opportunities, be attentive to signs they need to go (usually wriggling or squirming), and associate a word/sound/gesture, for them to communicate it to you. I can count the number of times our daughterhas shat herself on one hand, and she’s nearly three years old. For a lot of parents and babies/toddlers it’s a daily occurance. It’s crazy when you think that you have to ‘potty train’ children precisely because you’ve taught them to soil themselves in the first place.

Hope this proves useful to someone. Feel free to AMA about any of this. Parenting is intense and things have a tendency to get blasted out my working memory before long.
