What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new analysis indicates that 68% of Conservative constituencies in England have homes at risk of climate change-driven subsidence, affecting 246 of the 543 constituencies in the region between now and 2050. This risk is linked to changes in soil moisture levels exacerbated by extreme weather. The Conservatives are calling for a reduction in environmental regulations and net zero targets.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The analysis suggests that the Conservatives' focus on oil and gas interests and deregulation may not help constituents facing property risks. Greenpeace warns that this situation could lead to rising insurance premiums and plummeting property values in affected areas.
