Looking forward to this one!

It was 1987 and the Washington summit. Gorbachev - Reagan. I was 26 and remember the bravado ... the hope too!

I'm that Beatles age and still tacking left. Longstanding Green with periodic rebellion. Growing older (and Greener) disgracefully.

A thoughtful, grown-up conversation, Zack. I watched you talking with Christiane Amanpour earlier. It's hard to miss the irony: CNN doing the kind of interview we should be seeing on the BBC. George Monbiot was right about the loss of progressive voices. We're still waiting.

One of my least favourite activities is walking a former habitat of a locally extinct species. On a larger scale, I'll be leaving my childhood bird guides on the shelf for a while, now that the Slender-billed Curlew has no habitat anywhere. Desperately sad.

I was just about to jump up and down and celebrate breaking through the 90k barrier, but "Green turning Reform locally" is even better news - except for Nigel!

Having never voted Tory, I can at least imagine that this party once occupied - with occasional style - a fair-sized hill in the British political landscape. Is this how it ends? Tories - grubby entryists in Reform UK? Burning the planet to justify their continued sorry existence.
