🌊 | NEW REPORT: Extreme weather is a political issue. Failing to protect people from floods and heat leaves space for the populist right to exploit public anger and risks losing voters across the spectrum who expect action. Read our solutions here 👇 https://t.co/Z2uJkJRwM6
"We turn toward other people when they need it and take the piss out of them when they don’t."
The unofficial British motto of us at our best. Fab piece by @sofiejenkinson.

Discussing how we communicate climate impacts to the public effectively, "authenticity is one of the most important things over the next four years" says @sofiejenkinson.
Almost four years after the term was coined (below), I'm chairing an event on 'The Politics of Deliverism' at this years #Lab25. Is deliverism enough to win?
Come along if you're free (and have a conference pass!)
Nearly 1 million potholes reported across the UK in 2024— the highest in 5 years! Our data shows climate change is worsening road conditions. We need immediate action to protect drivers and cyclists. #NationalPotholeDay
Increased extreme weather caused by climate change is impacting people's lives in all sorts of ways, including causing more potholes. Our new analysis out today ft in @DailyMailUK shows that almost 1million potholes were reported last year up to end of Nov https://t.co/NXthIESI3J
I'm the last person you'd ever see lobbing soup at a painting but on 23 September, extreme weather destroyed the pitch at my beloved @afc_wimbledon
I made a video about it with @RoundOurWay#SaveOurSport#ad
Extreme weather caused by climate change causes floods at clubs like @LeatherheadFC meaning cancelled matches and the stars of the future can't get games in. I've teamed up with @RoundOurWayUK to highlight how devastating floods are for the future of football. #SaveOurSport#Ad
*toots the updates horn* seems like as good a time as any to say that I am now Co-Director of @RoundOurWayUK with @Roger_Harding. So, if anyone wants to know more about who we are, what we do or just wants to catch up, drop me a line on [email protected].
Looking forward to speaking at the @WGClimateChange#WalesClimateWeek conference tomorrow morning.
We'll chat about how we need to get more working class voices into the climate debate & @RoundOurWayUK's work supporting people impacted by increasing extreme weather in the UK.

Grateful to be working with so many brilliant people and partner orgs on the vital issue of people keeping safe in our increasingly warm summers.

2,295 lives were lost due to the heat in England between June and September last year.
Each of those people would typically have gone on to live for another 8 yrs.
Good to work with @Daily_Express and Dr. Hilary Jones MBE to highlight this vital issue.

It is great to be working with @DrHilaryJones to increase awareness of the health risks that heatwaves bring. Climate change increases that risk each year so it’s important to look out for loved ones. #NotJustSmallTalk
