Absolutely horrifying. How can our government be planning to drill for new oil and gas when we know these are the consequences? We have to keep the pressure on this Labour Government to keep all fossil fuels in the ground and secure a safe future for our children and grandchildren.

Climate is a pattern, and the pattern has changed. = Climate Change
Graphic reading, “The difference between ‘There used to be hot summers too.’ and climate crisis.” Below is a temperature-anomaly chart showing mostly blue, cooler-than-average years in the earlier record, shifting dramatically toward sustained red, warmer-than-average years in recent decades. Occasional earlier red bars are labelled “These were hot summers,” while the sustained cluster of increasingly warm recent years is labelled “This is climate change.”

Curious from the Guardian. I didn't "warn the party" - it wasn't a party meeting! I said progressives needed to separate those thinking about voting Reform from the Reform leadership. I didn't say we "need to seek to understand" - pretty clear it's about inequality. Other than that - perfect!
