Austerity has benefitted bond traders but impoverished UK society and led to the rise of populism. Is it right that we carry on adhering to their interests, asks Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

Plastic pollution isn't just about litter. It's also fuelling the climate crisis and destroying wildlife. That's why we need a Global Plastics Treaty that sets legally binding limits on single-use plastics. It's about using less, not just recycling more. Big oil doesn't want this. We demand it.

If the Chinese owners won't take the £500 million to keep the Scunthorpe steelworks open, perhaps the government could divide that money between the 3,000 people who will lose their jobs if the plant closes. That's £166,000 each worker, and would help tide them over whilst they look for new jobs.
