🔥Steve Race is enjoying playing with war toys to celebrate his new appointment to the Ministry of Defence rather than focusing on the risks posed by this summer's heatwave, drought and wildfires.

🤷 Labour ministers resign over defence spending but not over government cuts to the international aid budget and climate financing. 🤐 Or on government attempts to hide a key report on the security threats posed by climate breakdown.
Graphic headed: Security is about more than just defence.
A series of similar news headlines follow, for example: UK has glaring national security blind spot for climate threats, finds new report.

Voting is a right, not a privilege. It shouldn’t take a court case to make the Labour Gov see that. Denying millions a vote in local elections on 7 May, incl in Exeter, was a dangerous decision. Green candidates are ready to step up as councillors & serve our communities, not self interest.

A joint letter signed by leaders of the local Green Party, Liberal Democrats, Conservatives, Equity Independent Group & Reform UK, makes clear there is little confidence in the Labour leader - his letter to the Minister does not fairly represent the views put forward at the recent Council meeting.

Here in #Exeter we have local elections every year… at least we thought we did. Local Government reorganisation isn’t an exceptional reason for local #Labour to cancel democracy. The Labour Government should value local democracy and local services and pay for them.
