The UK GDP has grown 3x since 1970 (factoring in inflation and population increase). Are you wealthier? No because it has all gone to the very richest, we DON'T want even more money for them that never trickles down. We want things to function for US.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say I've "claimed it" as much as it's a scientific reality. The climate crisis is killing people and on track to get much worse. Seems big & worth having a plan to tackle. I'm calling on the Government to have an emergency meeting and create a plan - and carry it out.
Is climate change the biggest threat to the country since world war 2?

That's what Zack Polanski has claimed. He accused Andy Burnham of not acting urgently enough amid this summer's heatwaves. Are you just as worried?
