I don’t believe anyone should be pushed out of public life permanently.

If people are worried that tackling the climate crisis will come off the backs of working people, I share that worry.

Over the last few days and weeks, we’ve seen shocking scenes of wildfires and the report of 3,000 heat-related deaths.

I wish people were talking about the climate crisis every day

The response from our government is to pretend none of this is happening. It's an astonishing dereliction of duty from those whose first responsibility is to keep us safe.

Extreme weather is now the new normal – and without action, the impact on the people of this country will be unimaginably grave.

I need to be better on social media.

I just didn't look carefully enough and I accepted it, as soon as I was aware of what happened I unaccepted it and took it down.

I think the point is that Nigel Farage, or whoever that was, has said that I've committed incitement to murder, I think that's an absurd claim.

The point is Nigel Farage, or whoever it was that said I've committed incitement to murder, I think that is an absurd claim and that's exactly why I haven't given an apology.

That being said, if the police do want to talk to me, of course I’m very happy to co-operate.

As soon as I was aware of what happened, I unaccepted it and took it down.

But because this was a mistake, I think the important thing is that I point out it’s a mistake, that I also make sure that I condemn political violence, and also crucially, I make a commitment to be better on my social media.

I think it would be odd for the police to speak to me about that because I think it’s quite obvious that I’ve not done anything wrong other than making an inadvertent mistake.

This was not my post, it was a collaboration from a photographer.

If I’d done it deliberately, I’d be apologising.

If Nigel Farage wants to apologise for all the times that he's put other people in danger then I will be happy to make an apology.

I think it's important that I draw a line and don't play his game...

He and the Green Party call on everyone involved in public discourse to show kindness and not encourage more division.

The T-shirt is clearly in poor taste, especially at a time of heightened fears for the security of public figures having experienced multiple threats himself.

Zack condemns the image on the T-shirt. He was tagged in a post with 20 images and clicked accept without realising there was more to it than he had seen.

Still Labour has always been this way - and Andy Burnham proving no different.

It's so poor to treat an entire country like this.

We need action on sky high rents, with rent controls, we need to end the rip off and take water into actual public ownership, not tinkering with the existing failed model as is being suggested.

I welcome the movement on that and that's provided me with some extra safety and some extra steps.
