00:00People are right to be angry.

00:01Their bills are going up, the cost of living is being squeezed.

00:05We had decades of Tory austerity, and now I would argue we've had a year or two of Labour austerity

00:11that has been no better when we look at the economy.

00:15But underneath that anger, once we've connected with it, actually lies love.

00:20Love for kids, love for green spaces, love for our country.

00:25Now, if we move straight to hope and love, it just seems out of touch.

00:28It seems like the cliché that people often have of the wider green movement,

00:32that we don't quite get the needs of everyday people.

00:35And so it's really important we don't miss the anger.

00:38We've got to connect with that anger, but then we've got to turn it to tangible solutions.
