The climate emergency isn't a talking point. It's happening right now. Farmers are watching harvests fail, families are facing hosepipe bans, and our infrastructure is crumbling under record heat.
Dear Cllr Hadwen, As a Member of Parliament representing a Suffolk constituency, I am very concerned to hear of your administration’s intention to rescind the Suffolk County Council Climate Emergency Declaration declared in March 2019. Undeclaring an Emergency does not remove threats from flooding or extreme heat which residents will still face and it will not, on its own, save the council any money. The extreme heat we are currently experiencing is a clear example of our climate changing, and the council must use its powers to safeguard residents who are affected by this and other extreme weather which is becoming more common. Understanding that we are facing an Emergency which threatens all aspects of the way that we live, including how our food is produced and how our economic markets can be sustained, is crucial in order to make decisions and provide services which will help the people of Suffolk live well in the coming years.

My poem from three years ago. Needs to be read fast! We need to address adult smart phone addiction as well as childhood ban. Our social democracy depends upon it @suffolkpoetry.bsky.social @poetrysociety.org.uk @thetls.bsky.social @theguardian.com

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses. The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family. And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.
Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.
