Keir Starmer barely mentioned the
#ClimateCrisis
in his conference speech. The biggest challenge our world faces, ignored for flag-waving and empty platitudes. Labour would rather ape Reform on migration than do what is needed on climate change.

Road deaths are falling (good) but are still monstrously high (unacceptable): there were four deaths a day on UK roads in 2024. This is avoidable - we need political willpower to get there.

Labour vs the left
While Keir Starmer focuses on the threat of Reform and the populist right, is his real problem a resurgent progressive politics?

Busy evening with community groups from across the area at Altrincham Town Hall tonight. Huge turnout - but they'd all gone to the next room when I took the only photo of the night! 🤦♀️ Discussing culture in Trafford: What's on? 🗓️ Who's not in the room? 🤔 Where next? 🤩

Important article from
@trillingual.bsky.social
that shows that the way we are treating people arguing asylum in this country is out of line with many of our neighbours. There chance to work, quicker processing, and a less hostile tone from government could change the narrative.

As one of the signatories of this letter, I literally winced out loud when I heard Keir Starmer say those words. The role of our Prime Minister must be to unite our communities, not further divide them.
