The Climate Change Plan, due later this year, will be a litmus test as to whether the parties are willing to step up to solving these defining issues of our generation.

What’s the programme to upgrade the heating of our homes so we stay warm as the gas grid is shut down? What does our food system look like as we give over more of our land to trees and less to sheep and cows? How will we make sure net zero narrows inequalities and doesn’t drive us further apart?

We need concrete plans for how we are going to get to net zero safely and fairly: climate missions that set clear objectives and coordinate delivery.

The parliament’s recognition of a climate emergency in 2019 was not matched by a step change in policy. Instead, timid piecemeal initiatives crowded out more ambitious ideas.

The number of people putting immigration as one of their top three concerns has increased, but it sits in the middle of the pack with many others and represents a minority (16%) of people. Half of people taking the survey are worried about health and the NHS.

Even "immigration ranked as *a* top concern" would have been over egging it a bit. Health/NHS and cost of living far and away more significant
