Councillors and officers have spent huge amounts of time on reorganisation proposals, at the Government's request, time that could have gone into services instead. Today I asked the Secretary of State: will devolution mean real funding for local government, or just more upheaval?

Britain has entered a new climate reality, and the Government hasn't grasped it. Last week I led a debate on extreme heat and the cross-government action needed to protect us. Here's some of what I said.

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum? There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

Labour and Tory MPs want new drilling in the North Sea whilst we face a growing climate, energy and cost of living crisis. Approving new oil and gas licenses won’t take a penny off our bills and will fuel the climate crisis. New oil & gas is not the answer. Clean green energy is.
