Cameron's decision to 'cut the green crap' hasn't just made homes colder, energy bills more expensive, climate emergency more urgent - it's resulted in scores of lost high-skilled, high-wage, high-quality green jobs. So much for the 'greenest Govt ever'

Instead of backing 1000s of green jobs & sustainable, long-term economic revival, Govt has backed a climate-busting, backward-looking, stranded asset coal mine. The decision to greenlight this mine is a climate crime against humanity - & we must challenge it every step of the way
There is no mandate for the radical path being taken by Liz Truss’s government. She is ripping up manifesto promises (no fracking, green Brexit etc.), stripping away protection for our few remaining wildlife-rich places, ... 1/5
Latest #UnitedInScience report shows climate impacts heading into uncharted territories of destruction.
Yet each year we double-down on our fossil fuel addiction.
I urge leaders to heed the facts of this report & turn pledges into #ClimateAction.
Urgent we address Afghanistan’s unfolding nightmare and save millions of Afghan lives from starvation.
To turn our backs now in their hour of greatest need would be the final insult: a badge of shame that the free world would carry for ever.
If we switched to renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half.
Because they're just carrying coal and oil and gas

Here’s your Aussie trade deal. 20 regression for animal rights and injected hormones. Previously banned practices suddenly part of our shopping experience. Disgraceful . #BrexitDisaster
🚨 URGENT: 🚨 Shell plans to start destructive seismic blasts in a precious whale breeding ground off the coast of South Africa.
Every 10 seconds, 24 hrs a day, for 5 months, whales will be subjected to explosions as intense as a space shuttle launch.
We have to stop them.
SHOCKING.
The first draft of the #COP26 decision text - which lays out how nations will tackle the climate crisis after the summit - makes NO mention of phasing out fossil fuels.
We've got 4 days left to do something about this. Take action: https://t.co/p9ygrYePE5

“Over two million of my fellow Kenyans are facing climate-related starvation. In this past year, both of our rainy seasons have failed. Scientists say it may be 12 months until the rains return again. Meanwhile, our rivers run dry.” Kenyan activist Elizabeth Wathuti #COP26
Few days before @COP26, climate activists attempted to board a plane at Southend airport in UK dressed as @Microsoft executives taking a barrel of oil each as carry-on luggage (the amount of jet fuel burnt per person on a mid-length business flight). 😅

We use 11 billion wet wipes a year in the UK and 90% of them contain plastic. This is causing untold damage to our water systems and marine environments.
Please support my Ten-Minute Rule Bill on November 2nd to #BanPlasticInWetWipes.
