It’s time for Starmer to quicken the pace on green jobs and green growth. To push harder for the cleaner air, cheaper energy and healthier lives that we all deserve.

Make Keir Starmer step up on climate

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Stop flying, stop diverting water to maintain golf courses, stop putting concrete over everything, stop burning fossil fuels, for fucks sake just stop it like we've been saying for 40+ years. You've made enough profits to last a millennia beyond your imminent death.

I'm not much one for musicals (except for a few classics), but did take my 2 daughters to see the stage show in London a few years ago. Definitely *got* the message and I can see how the right-wingers aren't happy with it. Hope the films do well!
