I've written to the Prime Minister ahead of his first statement later today, with a clear message: Our politics is broken and we can’t fix our country until we fix our politics.

No conversation about Neets should omit geography - the top Neet rates by council are: Blackpool, Walsall, Knowsley, Hartlepool, North East Lincolnshire, Redcar & Cleveland. I went to Blackpool, as well as the DWP, to try and work out what's really going on:

"it is practically impossible for emissions reductions to happen fast enough to reduce the rate at which our world is heating" I'm not a climate academic but I am sure that is not what the IPCC says about the future. I am pretty sure fossil fuel use has a determining effect on future climates.....
a graphic of potential climate futures showing idfferent possibilities into the future Bearing in mind that we continue to pump out CO2 equivalent to the weight of 800,000 Titanics every year, and fossil fuel corporations are actively planning to expand operations, it is practically impossible for emissions reductions to happen fast enough to reduce the rate at which our world is heating. Consequently, 40C-plus mid-century heat in the UK is now baked in. We need, then, to face the fact that life in the 2050s is going to be very different from today, and act now. The sooner we recognise this and begin – as a nation – to prepare and adapt accordingly, the better we will be able to meet these enormous challenges to our everyday lives.

Last week, Farage was demanding a ban on "mass religious observances" in public spaces and described Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square as "provocative" and an attempt to "intimidate and dominate" UK society. This week, he's defending the "free speech" of a multimillionaire who celebrates Hitler.
If we start banning people from
entering the country because
we don't like what they say,
worry where that ends up... it's
a dangerous path to go down.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.
