3️⃣ Counter misinformation: Challenge it wherever you see it. It has plagued us for too long.
4️⃣ Use Your Power: Ask yourself what is your personal power and influence? Exert it. If you're in a position of influence and can't find the courage to step up, step down and let someone else lead.

We're calling for the UK to show the kind of leadership we showed in WWII. To face the challenge head-on instead of pretending it isn't happening.
This isn't a call for small tweaks but for big, courageous action.

We heard lessons from the COVID inquiry, from military crises, and from emergencies in intensive care units that are all the same: When a crisis is emerging, you act quickly. You do not delay.

The greatest financial risk we face is the cost of inaction. The economic disruption from extreme weather events that we’re not prepared for will be catastrophic. We risk being hit by weather disruption at a national scale, trying to recover from one disaster just as the next one hits.

Myth: Changing our food system is a threat.

Reality: It is a massive opportunity to improve our health, our rural communities, our economy, and our nature.

We must rigorously counter the misinformation that holds us back.

Myth: The energy transition will make us colder and poorer.

Reality: Insulating our homes and investing in a clean energy transition will save us money and make us more secure, especially those most in need.

When I asked the audience, not a single person thought the situation had been exaggerated. Many felt it was even more serious.

When we accept things as they really are, we can no longer rely on the psychological defences of denying, trivialising, or ignoring the need for deep, systemic action.

When you hear these nine briefings together, the reality is undeniable - an interconnected, escalating polycrisis.

My intention was to create a "one-way gate." I wanted everyone in the room, leaders and influencers across society, to leave knowing that "business as usual" is no longer an option.

Together 9 top experts joined the dots. We didn't just talk about climate, nature, and tipping points as abstract issues, we heard briefings on what this emergency means for:
Our food security here in the UK
Our health and the NHS
Our national security

One of the few consistent features of Farage's rhetoric over the years has been his long-standing support for Russian strategic interests. And here, courtesy of @quietriotpod.bsky.social , are the receipts.

If you've ever been bullied, you will know that you never forget the bully or what they did and said. These memories tend to be vivid.
