Regular readers of my Ramblings in Friday’s Morning Star will have already met my granddaughter Lizzie. She has penned a couple of Star articles herself and is a great source of ideas for environmental articles as well as sometimes being my sternest critic.
Lizzie (21), who I have always described as to the left of Rosa Luxemburg and Greener than David Attenborough, has already packed a lot of political and environmental campaigning into her life.
She won a UN essay competition visiting Auschwitz to become a Holocaust ambassador. She was elected to the RSPB’s Young Members’ Forum and in the 2016 general election she became the youngest ever paid employee of the Labour Party.
