Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits.
Due to our policies, we've done it in 9.
In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

My book, Fulci's Inferno, is the first major new writing on Lucio Fulci in years, and the first to fully analyse the themes across his work. It analyses his entire career, and includes over 50 photos.
This book took 8 years to research and write. I hope you're gonna love it.
