"#Proper Trees" Getting the Green New Deal through labour conference.
Our inaugural episode!
The dust has settled after the 2019 General Election and we face five more years of a climate denialist Conservative government. Yet, while locked out of power nationally, there are ways to take direction action locally and regionally to prevent climate catastrophe. But first, where did this all start?
We sat down with Angie Brown to discuss how the Green New Deal made it through Labour Party conference.
