I attended a really great event where Jon Alexander met Caroline Lucas, former Green Party MP and Leader, and climate 'actionist' Ellie Meredith, to ask if and how people power can still provide a meaningful response to the climate emergency.

With Caroline Lucas at the Conduit Club, talking about how to save democracy - by making action climate popular. By starting with where people are: not in abstractions, but in collaborative agency. On climate impacts and in cost of living - which are >the same fight<.

Image is of a Tweet against a backdrop of Westminster. The tweet reads: "Our recent electoral gains prove we’re rising. But our deeper strength lies in truth-telling: that the age of false optimism is over, and that adaptation is now the defining political challenge of our time."

Absolutely disgracefully biassed intro of #bbcqt (Questiontime) by Fiona Bruce: alone of all the panellists, she singled out a controversial policy of Zack Polanski / the Green Party for comment in her intro remarks. #BbcQT is systematically biassed in favour of the Right, and against the Greens.
