People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media.
Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members.

Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Not only has she been caught out lying to the public about why Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were being banned, but she appointed one of her donors to chair the new independent football regulator without declaring said donation. As I keep saying
