Thanks for having me on again.

It was pretty grim watching the speeches at the various inauguration ceremonies. I'm not surprised. We knew this was coming. He told us that he was going to do all this stuff. I think this is a really pivotal moment for the UK government. the UK government has to decide which way it wants to face.

And I will be really worried if we see anything more from number 10 that looks like cosying up to Trump's government when I and the Green Party are really clear that we would do a lot better if we turn towards Europe and towards governments that are far from perfect, but for the most part have, I would say, more shared values with the UK.

I do understand that when you're in government, you are responsible for diplomacy that goes beyond just your personal views and your political party. But one can be polite without cosying up. It was concerning yesterday to see Number 10 refusing to comment on Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement. Like that's...

even if they don't want to comment on Trump or Musk as people, surely they can comment on policy decisions that their government disagrees with.

Probably some of those consequences are going to come down the track anyway because of the decisions, various decisions that have been made over the first six months of this Labour government on everything from being very slow and partial on their decisions on suspending arms sales to Israel, the two-child benefit cap, an almost endless list of things where I've seen people in my constituency and more broadly basically saying, this isn't what I expected, Labour.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a cross-party project, really. So proposed by a Lib Dem MP with co-signatories from Greens, Plaid Cymru, SNP, Labour, Conservatives. It's not often that you find people from all of those parties ready to work together and agree.

And although there's been various versions of this bill, the main three principles that have been consistent throughout them are, firstly, the law must keep pace with the science, the climate science especially. The Climate Change Act 2008 was groundbreaking in its time, but it's really out of date now.

It was written in a time when we thought that keeping climate change within two degrees was enough. The climate science is now super clear that that is not the case. We need to keep within 1.5 if we possibly can. That door is closing fast, but if we possibly can, or at least as close to it as possible, and that requires a different set of policies.
