Did you see the video of the young Labour member ignored by Keir Starmer this weekend as he walked down Brighton pier? That was me.
On Sunday, I went to the Labour Party conference to ask Labour MPs if they would support a Green New Deal, a series of policies aimed at tackling the climate crisis. A few weeks ago, I tried to talk to Boris Johnson about the climate crisis while he was on his way to a Conservative Party fundraiser, but I was blocked by the police. Surely, I thought, the Labour leader would do better and take the opportunity to engage with a member of his party?
But no, for the minute that I walked beside him, politely asking him to acknowledge me, he didn’t even look me in the eye. It really was something else.
