Yes, it does matter what Farage said as a teenager, because his policies are so focussed on immigration. It’s a legitimate question to ask of a man seeking to become Prime Minister - are you so focussed on this issue because you are racist?

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot
It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.

The kind of transformation we need in London. But where is the vision and leadership to deliver it?
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

Love this. ❤️

Don’t despair. Take part.
I was in despair about the environmental crisis. Then I volunteered to clean up my local park

I would give my vote to a political leader ready to go to war against cars in London.
London has a congestion charge – and traffic in gridlock. We need other ways to end the obsession with cars | Jonn Elledge
The charge was seen as draconian, but new thinking is now essential. Look to the cities trying a range of bold ideas, says author Jonn Elledge
