Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing on the scale of these risks. Government should hold an emergency briefing from leading experts. These risks could have serious consequences across UK society, with threats to health and food supply – which could become irreversible without urgent action. Many people are unclear how these risks may affect them, and information in the public domain is often misleading. A credible national briefing from independent experts would give people clear, trusted guidance on what these risks mean in practice, and what we can do – both together and individually – to prepare and respond.” Chris Packham.ADAM BUXTON PODCAST LIVE WITH MAWAAN RIZWAAN @ Roundhouse, London, 5 August, 2026 (Roundhouse)THE TRUTH OF US by Sara Cox - 2026 (Hachette)THE TEEN COMMANDMENTS PODCAST (YouTube)THE TEEN COMMANDMENTS PODCAST (Apple Podcasts) Hosted on Acast.
