Yes, he was talking about food supplies at a time where we're all feeling the heat.
We can all see the impact of the heat in terms of sort of green spaces and grass around us.
Bringing four people on stage, a firefighter, a doctor, a former soldier and Chris Packham, the environmentalist, to talk.
to explain why they believe the impact of climate change is an emergency and that there is a sort of dereliction of duty on the part of people in positions of power.
But also, I think, trying to frame and frame quite early this situation for Andy Burnham, in particular, within reference to the
the North Sea.
I think Zach Polanski wants to get in there first and make it clear that seeing more drilling of oil and gas in the North Sea, in particular Rosebank and Jackdaw, would be problematic.
And there has been a sort of suggestion, although in slightly vague terms, that Andy Burnham would change.
Keir Starmer's position on this and Labour have actually responded this lunchtime after the press conference saying if Zach Polanski wants to tackle the climate crisis he should start by telling his fellow Green Party politicians that actions speak louder than words.
Up and down the country the Greens have repeatedly opposed plans for new reservoirs and clean energy projects.
That makes it harder to achieve what they say they want.
No mention though in the Labour response Adam
about North Sea oil, because for some voters who might be swithering, swapping between backing the Greens and backing Labour, that might be an issue that matters to them.
And Zach Polanski is trying to get in there and make his point of why changing a government policy would be bad for the environment.
Well, because the Victims Minister said on record, on television, that it was possibly being considered, that was Alex Davis-Jones, a slightly odd series of events which suggests really that the government aren't quite clear what their position is.
is because our colleagues at Newsnight, one interviewed Alex Davies-Jones, but also checked with various sources within government whether it was right, didn't get any pushback, had nobody saying it was wrong until this morning.
Senior figures in government have contacted us to distance themselves from those claims, but not really slapped down Alex Davies-Jones.
They don't want to look like they're sort of criticising somebody who Andy Byrne was clearly spent some time one-on-one trying to persuade to come back into government.
Of course, she quit as Victims Minister under Keir Starmer, among that furry of resignations around West Reading.
And she came back and she's seen as pretty skilled at a pretty difficult, pretty difficult and gruelling job.
