At 81, after a lime time of experiencing the patronising words of those politicians who have enjoyed the benefits of their privileged education, I am guilty of being too passionate and concerned about the plight of the world than the accuracies of English grammar.

Both my parents were unskilled factory workers, and I was brought up on a council estate. I left school at 15 in 1960 without qualifications and received my political education on the factory floor. My fellow factory workers probably did not spend too much time correcting my English skills.

What is the future of summers in England? Our choices matter. A high-emissions future will commit our children and grandchildren to live in a world where the summers of 1976 & 2025 are cold. A global net-zero emissions future means that we can stabilise the climate & those summers will be normal.

This is great news. We had the same thing in the UK under Jeremy Corbyn but eventually the false smear stories have an effect. I am sure they will do the same thing to Mamdani.

Thanks for telling me. I like to hear that my efforts are not in vain. In the early days a lot of people thanked me by email but that rarely happens today. You have made a very old man happy. I'm 81 tomorrow.

Interesting read John. We are of an age and experience. I know what you mean. I vote to keep out ReformUK where I live. We have a very good active MP here who overthrew the Johnson placeholder at the last election. All the best. G
