What is the point of a Labour government if they condemn us to another 5 years of austerity? If they won’t address poverty, tackle climate breakdown, or tax the rich. Join us to hear from two distinguished guest speakers about the links between austerity, inequality and the climate crisis and how to resist the malign influence of the super rich and big corporations on our politics.
Grace Blakeley is an acclaimed economic commentator, journalist and author. Her latest book is a devastating critique of late-stage capitalism, laying out why the system isn’t actually broken, but it’s working exactly as planned. She is a strong advocate for a fair transition to a low carbon economy.
Jonathon Porritt is an eminent writer and environmental campaigner, with a wealth of experience gained from his contributions to many different environmental groups. He is focused on intergenerational justice, helping to support young people face the twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss. His latest book is a call to action on the climate emergency.

Carry on emitting today and hope at some future date huge carbon sucking technology will solve the problem. Yet we know carbon is killing today, and global emissions are still rising.
Oil is more valuable than our culture, our heritage, our bodies. More valuable than the beautiful web of life on earth, more valuable than home.
