'This should be the #ClimateElection. Instead we are in a frustrating, Farage-obsessed fantasyland

Bloviators and untruths continue to generate more news than common sense & the #environment. But some parties are trying to make a difference'

Risham and I spent #Eid day campaiging for #TheGreens in #Croydon.

When they are the only party to refuse corporate funding, have always been on point for Gaza, and keep #ClimateChange front and centre, you know they are worth your Eid.

#ClimateDiary How to note Sunak’s election announcement here? Getting drenched in rain was symbolic & symptomatic; tragically a child died in a mudslide in Yorkshire the same day.
