I am old enough to recall as far back as 2018 when Cooper sported a suffragette rosette. A reminder that the suffragettes, unlike Palestine Action, actually planted bombs and destroyed property.

Excited to be getting involved in this. And to see what can happen around this really important issue that brings together land, ecology, water/flooding, air pollution, and social justice.

George Osborne pretended he was taking 'tough decisions', but politically he took the easy one of beating up on students and disabled people, while passing the toughest ones over to local government to deal with. Did he ever pick a fight with anyone that might pose a political risk to him?
