Picture from Letters Live at the Royal Albert Hall
I just made a surprise appearance at the Royal Albert Hall for Earth Day.
The room felt so hopeful. People so sick and tired of climate injustice - but even more driven by wanting change.
Tackling the climate crisis needs all of us - and an end to Rip Off Britain.

We now know a government report warning that biodiversity loss threatens the foundations of our lives was suppressed for months.
Preparedness begins with honesty. The public has a right to know the risks — and government must start telling the truth.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
NEW REPORT: Today we publish Unprotected Nature, a report revealing Natural England's failure to designate any new protected sites.
Read about it in the Guardian here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
This beggars belief
But is par for the course as British nature continues to be assaulted on all sides

I'm starting to think that 40 years of electing governments based on how little they think the state should do, might be the cause of how little the state can do.
Wow!
“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇
It's the opposite of his intention, but the Idiot Emperor is forcing the world off fossil fuels. This week's column.

'Zack Polanski is calling for the introduction of a 10:1 Pay Ratio as part of a package to tackle the "affordability crisis". ... a good idea?'

The most dangerous bias is the one that feels like common sense.
Very sorry - and worried - to hear that. Best of luck
Congratulations folks!! ❤️
It's astonishing that Epstein could end up bringing down a government, and that government NOT being Donald Trump's.
A great musician talking great musicians 🙌

Children on swings etc in a playground signed as "Darwin's Island of Adventure".
I think this play area is definitely the main legacy Darwin had in mind
