I used to worry politicians were setting up the public for disappointment with their overly-optimistic "green jobs" promises. Now I realise, the public just isn't really buying it anyway. www.ft.com/content/2d00...

Looking forward to speaking at the Welsh Government's #WalesClimateWeek conference tomorrow morning.

Exclusive: Helen MacNamara named chair of progressive think tank
The former top civil servant will join the Future Governance Forum, which has close links to No 10.
Excellent to have Helen
MacNamara joining the @futuregovforum.bsky.social team as Chair. The programme and track record of work Nathan and colleagues are building is really exciting.

It's heartbreaking to see the damage floods are wreaking on homes, livelihoods and now people's health.
People should not have to put up with disgusting filth flowing into their streets and parks. Good to see people Round Our Way has worked with on ITV News at 10.

Pothole reports hit a five-year high in 2023
Climate change will worsen potholes but scientists hope new technology will help make them a thing of the past.
"Potholes are the bane of many of our lives ..." says Roger Harding, director of Round Our Way.
"The weather extremes that climate change brings are sadly creating many more of them at a time when cuts mean repairs are already not keeping up."
