I want to thank our fire and emergency services for their dedicated work in incredibly difficult conditions battling the wildfire at Dunwich. I urge the public to follow the safety advice to stay away from the area and keep doors and windows closed.

The NFU is right. This is the new climate reality. It doesn't matter whether people believe it's climate change. It won't care when we run out of water, food costs rocket & wildfires spread. We need a Climate Adaptation Minister to lead cross-govt action www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

It's wrong that creditors have loaded Thames Water with debt while paying themselves billions in dividends. Now they're offering the Govt a "golden share" to avoid full public ownership. Not enough. Water privatisation is a failed experiment. We need Thames Water brought into public ownership.

Britain has entered a new climate reality, and the Government hasn't grasped it. Last week I led a debate on extreme heat and the cross-government action needed to protect us. Here's some of what I said.

It's infuriating that large parts of SW1 still don't grasp the scale of this crisis, still pretending adaptation can wait. The CCC has laid out exactly what well-adapted looks like. But nothing, as yet, suggests Andy Burnham takes this any more seriously than Keir Starmer did.

It's deeply irresponsible of Reform-led councils, like the one here in Suffolk, to be taking backward steps on climate and nature. Firefighters are battling extreme heat while Reform councils stick their heads in the sand to please their political donors.

Rosebank is the defining climate test for this Government. New North Sea oil and gas fields are inconsistent with our climate commitments, won't lower bills. Approving it locks us deeper into fossil fuels we can't afford. adura.com/projects/ros...

The climate emergency isn't a talking point. It's happening right now. Farmers are watching harvests fail, families are facing hosepipe bans, and our infrastructure is crumbling under record heat.

The Big Butterfly Count runs 17 July to 9 August. Butterfly numbers have fallen sharply since the 1970s, and they're an early warning for the wider health of nature. All it takes is 15 minutes outdoors counting what you see. Get involved: bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org

Welcome news. I’ve campaigned on this with Natalie Bennett, and have met Zane’s parents, Kye and Nicole, whose campaigning has been remarkable. They’ve waited for too long for an inquiry.

It's hard to tell if meat or dairy comes from an animal raised indoors on a factory farm or in a genuinely higher-welfare system. That's not an accident. It's a labelling gap. Nearly 80% of the British public want mandatory method-of-production labels on all animal products sold in supermarkets.

I'm in Weybread, where residents have come together to oppose a mega egg incubator. This huge industrial unit would bring a big increase in traffic and heavy lorries coming into a small village that just isn't built for it.

Congratulations to Mid Suffolk and East Suffolk councils on being nominated for the Planning for Nature Recovery Award. Two of just five councils shortlisted nationwide. Both are Green-led, as is Forest of Dean. That is not a coincidence.

Summer is now putting as much pressure on the NHS as winter. This heatwave is the most severe ever recorded in Europe. Paramedics are warning us to check on elderly neighbours, family and friends.

The Government's own reports are warning the UK faces major security risks if it fails to act on ecosystem collapse. Yet they still won't publish the full report. Without it, MPs cannot effectively scrutinise how the Government is stepping up to address these fundamental threats.
