WATCH: Climate Catastrophe: The Case for a Socialist Green New Deal

Join us at 12.30pm today for our Labour Party conference fringe event, sponsored by the Fire Brigades Union. Why is the government so slow to respond to the climate crisis? How is it affecting firefighters on the frontline? What policies should Labour be championing in response? Chaired by Zarah Sultana MP, this panel is made up of John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington; Rebecca Long-Bailey, MP for Salford and Eccles; Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary; and Kate Hicks of Labour for a Green New Deal.
