Just received this (inaccurate) message from a Spectator journalist about an extremely important topic that many people have never even thought about. So I'm replying by way of a 🧵.
message from James Heale, political correspondent of the Spectator: "I have been told by one of the attendees there that you argued that that there ought to be a form of Nuremberg trials for people who had taken insufficient action on climate change."

‘I’m sick of it!’ The diabolical reality of being one of the few working-class people in TV

From nepotism to pay so bad that even Bafta winners are quitting the industry, the odds are stacked against working-class talent. No wonder stars like Lucy Beaumont want to ‘jack it all in’
