It goes on: "If a Reform government pushes through its agenda, resistance from those ideologi

HM: Asad, last August you became the first person of colour to lead Friends of the Earth, as its chief executive, in its more than 50-year history. You've previously had roles at Amnesty International UK and War on Want. Fighting injustice is clearly threaded through your journey. How did your background and upbringing shape you as a political activist?
How do you think things have changed? The moment we're in now feels very alienating for a lot of people. While people of colour might not face the same level of racist attacks in the streets or discrimination that is as overt, at the same time, the story of progress when it comes to racial justice in Britain is complicated…
And that collective identity, that shared struggle which people from different minority backgrounds and working-class communities, found together beyond race has also fragmented…
Extremism always evolves. It seems paradoxical, but also logical, that at the same time that racism moved away from street violence such as the National Front, and conversations about multiculturalism and diversity went national, elements seen as fringe within the far-right 30 years ago have now entered the mainstream – both as a backlash and a continuation of what has always been there under the surface?
I've long explored how 'identity' is complex and how we all have more 'multiplicity' within ourselves even if we don't think about it like that. But most political and media discussion of identity is reductive and binary, feeding 'identity politics' and 'culture wars'. One example is how those on the right are increasingly making the distinction between 'Britishness' as a civic national identity that everyone – including people of colour who have 'assimilated' – can have; and 'Englishness' as a distinct ethnonationalist identity that only people with ancestors born here carry.
The past year has also seen 'Operation Raise the Colours' putting St George's and Union flags on display in towns across England – a campaign with ties to far-right networks. Yet, this summer's World Cup reflected modern England in the way only our national team can do. How do you feel about where we are at with Englishness?
Race, class, inequality: this is the political lens you have brought to your role leading Friends of the Earth. Why is this intersectional approach to the climate crisis so key – at a time when the right is framing net zero as antithetical to the very real struggles people are dealing with in their everyday lives?
Even though the UK has been experiencing continuous extreme heat this summer, it still feels as if the climate crisis is 'far away' when it comes to political and public perception of its impact and where it is on our list of priorities. How can this human instinct to not look at something because it's 'over there' or at some distance be countered?
The challenge also seems to be about community-building – especially when it comes to tackling the weaponisation of the right, which is pitting different groups and issues against each other?
