Author, journalist, Guardian & Observer writer. Greenpeace voting member, on the board of trustees of Rainforest Foundation UK (RFUK). Mainly comments on the environment and campaigns to protect and restore nature.

In Kent, Labour has a fight on its hands – and a make-or-break test for its housing revolution | Polly Toynbee
If it wants to build 1.5m homes, the government will sometimes need to be brave enough to reject local feeling – as it has done in Swale, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee
