Class struggle isn’t just a binary fight between the world’s workers & ruling class, it manifests itself between the working & middle class too. If the environmental movement continues to brush this to one side, the only outcome on our horizon is abject failure.

A 10 year plan to make 30k jobs, in a region of 2 million people and it cost £7bn quid? That’s £230k per job. Can’t help but think it might be better to give that money directly to people. Why is government investment in the UK so expensive and provides so little for the cost? Is it consultants?

Absolutely brilliant podcast @lucyburkemcr.bsky.social well done, particularly brilliant to hear from Ruby about her experience as a toddler. Recommended listening for anyone.
The Bhopal Disaster is a story about the drivers of man-made climate change - corporate greed, an indifference to human & natural life, & the deadly & enduring impact of pesticides. I’m proud of this series & hope it will reach people who have never heard of what happened in Bhopal on 2/3 Dec 1984
New limited series starts tomorrow.
