Check out Hannah Martin's op-ed on the dangerous impacts of heatwaves in the UK and what we have to change course, as well as ensure the resilience of our cities and communities. @gndrising.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Deadly heatwaves are the new reality – we need to transform the UK's cities and towns to survive them | Hannah Martin

While we work towards net zero, we also need to adapt. And we can pay for cooling measures like splash pads and trees by taxing the worst polluters, says green campaigner Hannah Martin

Spoke to LBC news earlier about Starmer's PR stunt in Albania today. It shows that, yet again, this government is failing to grasp the complexities of trafficking, and asylum, and instead is focusing on measures which actively make things worse for everyone.

Join us on the 29th May where we'll be hearing from a fantastic panel of speakers about the material and legislative threats to trans people's lives in the UK and how movements for trans liberation are organising in response. In person but livestreamed! tinyurl.com/5663crat

The lesson from the India trade deal is that, in the face of complex trade-offs, the government will need to find compromise if it wants to deepen its economic and strategic relationships. 🖊️ @marleymorris.bsky.social writes for @lbc.co.uk 👇 www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

It's a tricky compromise but Starmer's India trade deal is a post-Brexit win

After three years of negotiation, the UK has clinched a significant post-Brexit win – a trade deal with India, the fifth largest economy in the world.

Doing the rounds of BBC local radio discussing Labour's plan to publish nationality "league tables" of foreign offenders. Put simply, there are absolutely no benefits to it, but the risks are huge. Inevitably it feeds far right narrative, leads to hostility against nationalities and embeds division.

Spent a fun hour debating climate & environment with Richard Tice from Reform last night on an LBC panel and was very happy to help set him straight on the cause of high electricity prices in the UK (spoiler alert: it's gas).

🌾 “Britain’s food security is at risk – and local farming holds the key.” Public sector food procurement is a powerful lever for change. It supports local farmers, builds resilience & boosts fairer economies. A must-read from Julian Boys 👇 www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Britain’s food security is at risk – it’s time to back local producers with public money

The UK’s food system is under pressure.
