Seems pretty antisemitic to me. How have we got to the place that they feel so emboldened to write this shit?

People deserve to know what plans – if any – are in place to protect our water supply.

It's about making sure it's not just symbolic or tokenistic but is part of a wider pattern of measures of moving our democracy so it's more in touch with people around the country.

[It] feels democratically illegitimate.

It really shows the devolution plans are built on sand if in the first test of devolution, which is someone at the most local level saying ‘actually we’d like to be independent’, denying them even the right to have that conversation…

A written constitution would be a good thing, but it sounds far too much like kicking the can down the road as opposed to making the changes we actually need now.

It would be absurd to have any further conversation about devolution without allowing either Scotland or Wales, if they wish, to have an independence referendum.

What we urgently need is concrete action.

This is a climate emergency which is leading to hundreds of deaths and stretching our firefighters, health staff and farmers to the limit.

That just seems like such an absurd editorial decision.

At one point, wildfires were a story that was lower down [on the BBC website] than something about an Instagram [post].

I talked about the climate crisis not being covered by the BBC, the fact that they went on about [the guillotine T-shirt and Nigel Farage] for three or four days, I think is pretty shocking.

Now my point here is not to whine, because actually I always think as a politician, you've got to just go, ‘OK, how can we find attention differently, how can we grab people differently?’

I feel like the media has changed their technique towards me.

It's an astonishing dereliction of duty from those whose first responsibility is to keep us safe.

No new oil and gas. No ifs, no buts.

I hope you will have the courage to be truthful, be brave and hold firm to your party’s commitment to no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, including both Rosebank and Jackdaw.

And this should all be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fuelling these infernos.

We are facing the biggest threat to this country since the Second World War.

To secure our water supply, prevent droughts and protect our food system, we need to bring water back into public hands.

We need a robust wildfire prevention strategy, a fire service with the resources it needs when they come.

In the immediate term, we need to keep people safe from extreme temperatures. That means a free, accessible cool space in every local area and financial support for households so they can heatproof their homes.

These last few weeks are showing we can’t afford not to, we are facing an existential threat, people are dying, people are scared, it is time to act.

If we are to secure a liveable future for our children and for our grandchildren, there can be no new drilling for oil and gas.

There has to be spaces for people to rehabilitate, no matter what they say or no matter how heinous what they do is.
