Even the Guardian in my view fails to underline how worrying this is …. The BBC treats such news as if we should be rejoicing and heading for the beach. No wonder climate change isn't being taken seriously.

I'm thrilled to share that @crispp.bsky.social has started to publish a nine-article symposium on my Food, Justice, and Animals and @matteobonotti.bsky.social and Anne Barnhill's Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy.

Labour has to change tack and stop aping Reform on immigration and public spending before it is too late. Not only is it morally wrong, but also the strategy of growing the economy will also fail to materialise given Trump light policies have major economic costs that undermine any such recovery.
On why aping Reform is not only bad politics but also bad economics
In a week when Australia followed Canada in giving the neo-Trumpist parties an electoral drubbing, it was disappointing to say the least to see the Trump adjacent Reform do so well in the recent local elections and to win the Runcorn by-election.
