Why are politicians who want to do the least possible in this country to fight climate change so obsessed with China? Can you imagine if we based all political decisions for this country on what China was doing.
Shropshire Council has held back from declaring its support for a new law aimed at ramping up the UK’s fight against climate change. Calls for the authority to publicly back the #CEEbill failed to win over members at a meeting of the full council.

"All Shropshire Council had to do was voice its public support for the #CEEbill—as other local authorities, including Conservative-led ones—have done." 👇
Well worth a read from Andy Boddington, Councillor for Ludlow North on Shropshire Conservatives' refusal to support the CEE bill.

Can you find Shropshire council's environmental policy as they've just kicked it somewhere? @ShropCouncil@ShropshireStar @DC4Battlefield @KeriTrigg_LDR
The motion, as amended, has now been carried by 33 votes. There were 6 votes against and 3 abstentions. The council therefore will not pledge its support for the CEE Bill today, but it will be referred to a task & finish group. #LDReporter
@KeriTrigg_LDR @andybodders As I understand it there is no second reading scheduled in this session of Parliament after Friday sittings of Parliament were suspended.
A motion proposed by @JulianDean99 calling for the council to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE) Bill is now being discussed. It's been supported by Labour's @Kate4BelleVue and the @LibDemsShrops group.
A motion has been tabled by @JulianDean99 calling on the council to back the CEE Bill. More than 500 people have now written to their councillors urging them to support this motion.

We need to be making trade more sustainable, instead MPs like DK seem intent on completely ignoring nearest trading nations purely for political reasons.
On the 25th Feb @ShropCouncil are debating whether to support the Climate & Ecological (CEE) Bill.
The UK govt plans to wait until 2050 before reaching net zero, this is too late. Ask your MP to support the Bill to take faster action for our climate.

Waverley Borough Council tonight...
EVERY Tory voted against our very basic motion tonight, simply asking the council write a letter to our MP's urging them to back the Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE) bill.
The motion passes as this is not a Tory-controlled council.
The Environment Agency says we are hitting worse case scenario but the Conservatives say they are already doing enough. Time to tell them we need the CEE bill. Visit our website (link in bio) to email Telford and Wrekin's MPs. https://t.co/pq7SdRaSPQ
Following from all the great Drop HS2 actions yesterday, a really interesting article from the CEE bill alliance and how the bill may prevent future environmentally damaging project such as HS2.
