[Fossil Free Parliament @MP_FossilFree]

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey attended a fancy charity gala in Feb at the invitation of a fossil fuel firm.

All involved claim that there were no strings attached. But why else would a company wine and dine a politician, if not to gain political influence?

So lovely to host a green group meet and munch this week with @XRCardiff, @CardiffCivicSoc, @cardiffgreens, @BeMoreSquirrel, @OrchardCdf and others.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Genuinely can’t quite believe that @Labour is supporting fuel duty freeze which
- has cost c. £90bn since 2010
- ⁠increased emissions by 7%
- ⁠benefits wealthiest most
Has it totally given up on progressive politics? #Budget2024

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Simply cannot believe this Govt is still freezing fuel duty. UK Treasury is losing billions of pounds which could be spent on buses and trains that would benefit everyone, particular the poorest households - 40% of whom don’t own a car #Budget2024

[Campaign for National Parks @Campaign4Parks]

Fantastic to hear from @JulieJamesMS @LlyrGruffydd @CThomasMS @WGClimateChange Alun Elidyr and Dianne Spencer & Louise Southwell from Ein Bwyd 1200 Our Food 1200 at our celebration of Designated Landscapes in @SeneddWales

We're putting on a green group meet and munch next Tuesday. Come join us to hear what other groups are doing and thinking, to chat about experiences and learnings, and to get to know like-minded people over a shared meal.  https://t.co/vovUaaes7G

[Coal Action Network @CoalActionUK]

📢EIR Ltd is proposing to mine coal tips in South Wales to evade @WelshGovernment policies against coal mining. This idea is bonkers but local community campaigners are already resisting it ✊ With 100s coal tips, this isn't the way to remediate them🌏

Jenny and Terry with Cardiff FOE's community quilt outside Parliament. FoE held a United for Warm Homes event in Parliament on Mon 26th Feb to launch a new report that highlights the health impacts of cold homes and fuel poverty. An inspiring event.

Great to see @CoalActionUK continuing the fight in Cardiff Against the Aberpergwm mine on the outskirts of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. 🤞 for a good result

[Coal Action Network @CoalActionUK]

Our very own Anne explains why we were at Cardiff Courts today. It was a long day but our legal team pulled out all the stops. Now the wait begins (weeks-months) to see whether our appeal to climate justice won the day...🤞🤞🤞
We use all the tools to fight for the climate🌎

Next meeting coming up ��

[Inksplott @inksplott]

Feeling the cold this winter? Heating costs worrying you? Head down to Splott Community Volunteers during one of their Warm Clubs to pick up a warm pack containing a thermal hat, scarf, gloves, socks and blanket, a hot water bottle, radiator foil, radiator key and thermal tape.

Tomorrow! If you can make it along to the Civil Justice centre in Cardiff this is worth turning up to!

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Tory MP Chris Skidmore quits over oil & gas licences. Memo to Sunak - this is what principled politics looks like. A real pleasure working with ⁦@CSkidmoreUK⁩ on climate & he’ll be much missed. Huge indictment of Govt reckless maxing out fossil fuels https://t.co/lNsSi7R2og
