Nicola Sturgeon's deeply personal and revealing" memoir will be published in 2025 by Pan Macmillan, after nine publishers bid for it at auction. Lucy Knight has the story here.

Zac Goldsmith, who resigned as a Foreign Office minister in June saying he could no longer support Rishi Sunak because of his apathy" on climate issues, has told the BBC that he might even back Labour as a result.

My concern about the Labour party at the moment - I don't say this is a tribal politician, I'm not a tribal politician - is I think there is a blind spot on the natural environment.

The simple truth is there is no pathway to net zero and there's no solution to climate change that does not involve nature, massive efforts to protect and restore the natural world.
