We need abetter plan for the climate crisis - we need a System Update. Our film has interviews with world-leading experts and change makers. Now is the time for radical action.

Feel like Labour should be standing in the middle of the road ringing an old timey bell and generally making sure absolutely everyone hears about this.

Had a fab time at #TwoShortNights (Exeter Phoenix), soaking up everything from serious docs to hilarious improvised micro-dramas in the #48hourfilmchallenge I especially liked Ieuan Coombs' Old School, Alice Clough's Stable Speak, Sapphire Medeema's A Year and a Minute, and ratbird's Dead Wife Hug.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.

Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.

Whoah!
This piece on the Observer newspaper's capture by global oil interests is explosive!
Written by investigative journo & Observer insider Carole Cadwalladr, it paints an incredibly gloomy picture of the future of independent newspapers.
Gulp!
