Great to see this from the PM. All summer we've been raising the alarm about this unprecedented heatwave. From 40c heat in classrooms to mums struggling at home to keep cool. We need to adapt today AND mitigate the worst effects of climate change for tomorrow.

🌊 | NEW REPORT: Extreme weather is a political issue. Failing to protect people from floods and heat leaves space for the populist right to exploit public anger and risks losing voters across the spectrum who expect action. Read our solutions here 👇 ippr.org/articles/adapt-or-d…

Almost four years after the term was coined (below), I'm chairing an event on 'The Politics of Deliverism' at this years #Lab25. Is deliverism enough to win?
Come along if you're free (and have a conference pass!)
I’m coining the term ‘deliverism’ as a complement to ‘popularism.’ @ddayen focuses on this. Deliver and it helps you win elections. Don’t deliver and you lose.
By ‘deliver’ I mean govern well using all levers available.

Nearly 1 million potholes reported across the UK in 2024— the highest in 5 years! Our data shows climate change is worsening road conditions. We need immediate action to protect drivers and cyclists. #NationalPotholeDay

Extreme weather caused by climate change causes floods at clubs like @LeatherheadFC meaning cancelled matches and the stars of the future can't get games in. I've teamed up with @RoundOurWayUK to highlight how devastating floods are for the future of football. #SaveOurSport #Ad
