Food and water insecurity and rising prices are increasingly driven by climate change. It is going to get a great deal worse and the greatest impact will be upon working people and the poor.
Climate change is a class issue.

I used to buy Lavazza coffee double-pack - it went up from £4.80 to £11.80 at my local Tesco over the space of 3-4 years... My ESA hasn't gone up by anything like the same percentage!
Butter, milk, beef, chocolate and coffee are responsible for much of the UK’s food inflation, with climate change the key driver of rising grocery bills

This is definitely something we could all benefit from. Hugely impressive.
Since we delivered free bus travel for those under the age of 22, over 250 million free journeys have been taken.
That's congestion off ours streets, pollution out our air, and money back in people's pockets.
That's a resounding success we can build on.

This article is from 2017, but research from the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and University of Glasgow estimates 335,000 excess deaths across Scotland, England, and Wales between 2012 and 2019 as a result of austerity policies. That was six years ago, so we're probably pushing 500,000, now.
