As this government turn its back on climate action, continues to put profit before the welfare of its people and the planet, we think you deserve more

Thanks Ronan, but the BBC Sounds app is so good - I doubt that others modes will be nearly as full and easy to navigate. If other apps do it, why close down Sounds? I’d be happy to subscribe to it.

There is something delusional about your frantic trips to the recycling bin Recycling seems to me a fake individual solution to a very real collective problem. As an idea, it facilitates the endless production of plastic trash
