The climate crisis in one sentence: We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

Labour could have repealed the law, but didn't. There's no chance the PM didn't know these women were being surveiled, or of plans to arrest them. Highly doubt it was a Met Police idea to target this campaign group. Government must explain urgently if it was a "mistake" or they are responsible.

"We might look at some of those changes and think, well, they're not quite the changes we would make, from a centre-left perspective, but the speed at which they've operated, we've actually thought, you know what, we can go further and faster. We will, we are.
