Our voting system is broken - stifling choice, perpetuating exclusion, & leaving people feeling politics is being done *to* them, rather than *with* them. Very pleased to support @MakeVotesMatter's #SortTheSystem lobby for fair & equal votes today 👇

Critical laws on air pollution will be scrapped by reckless #REULBill. Yet filthy air is a public health emergency. Claims that other policies can make up for loss of EU laws won't wash, they're weak & vague. Just 1 more example of dangers of this Bill @GreenerUK_ @CleanAirLondon

Govt says in one breath it has no intention of weakening environment & food standards - then in next breath it plans to torch 100s of EU laws & ditch vital non-regression principle which puts regulatory safeguards in place. #REULBill is deeply dangerous & destructive @GreenerUK_

RT @omid9: The IRI wants to execute #Mohammad_Ghobadlou after just one court session. His mother here asking “is this Islamic justice?”

Iranian citizen #MohammadGhobadlou was arrested protesting for human rights - now Iranian regime could execute him within hours.
I've called Minister urging action, but we need your help. Tweet @Iran_in_UK & urge the embassy to step in & stop this execution #StopExecutionsInIran

#Brighton is one of costliest places to rent in the country & my constituents are ripped off, unable to pay bills or even dream of saving. We urgently need rent controls, as in many other countries - local councils need powers to introduce them @ACORN_Brighton @genrentuk @Shelter

Renters Reform Bill is welcome & long overdue but loopholes must be closed, discrimination against renters in receipt of benefits must be outlawed & local authorities must have enforcement powers to target rogue landlords. #Brighton @ACORN_Brighton @genrentuk @Shelter @BHT_Sussex

RT @AlinejadMasih: BREAKING:
Islamic Republic is planning to execute another protester, Mohammad Ghobadlou, for the crime of protesting. We call on the Western leaders to call out Iran’s regime to halt the execution. We don't need condemnations after the Islamic republic hangs him, we need action… https://t.co/055odOQkg9 https://t.co/6Qbig7d8kH

Great to meet with @PrueLeith in Parliament to support @dignityindying. Over 200 million people worldwide have legal access to some form of safeguarded assisted dying - law reform here in the UK is long overdue, and the blanket ban must end.

Even Minister admits nuclear fusion won't come on stream until 2040 (experts think even later) - yet Govt's own power decarbonisation target is *2035*. We know what works - renewables, interconnectors, batteries, storage. Blind faith in as yet non-existent technologies doesn't.

Great film by @JolyonRubs!👏
It's #ShellAGM today - despite £33bn in global profits last year, they paid *22p per Brit* in UK tax. Shell are climate criminals, polluting our planet & reaping record profits. Govt isn't just letting them off the hook, it's subsidising them further
RT @JolyonRubs: .@Shell made £33bn profit in 2022.
That could pay for the energy bills of HALF of all UK households.
Instead? Shell paid just £15m in tax to the UK. That's just 22p per B…

Staggering complacency from Sunak - claiming #G7 was climate success when in fact it called for expansion of climate-wrecking gas & didn't deliver any loss & damage funding when @oxfam says $8.7tn is owed to Global South for harm caused. This isn't climate leadership, PM @oxfamgb

Happy #InternationalBiodiversityDay! 🐝🐼🦋🌳🐟🦔🌻🍄 Our precious nature & wildlife is vital to our planet’s survival, yet its disappearing before our eyes. We need *urgent* Govt action to protect & restore it. My speech from last year’s #COP15 debate 👇

Fatima making the case for a Green New Deal which massively invests in renewables, retrofitting, and bringing down our energy bills.

RT @fossiltreaty: Shame on the #G7 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇹🇯🇵
In their official communique released today, they frame fossil gas as "important" & "appropriate" & even called for expansion.
Fossil fuels are the top cause of the climate crisis.
It's time for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. https://t.co/k3lPR76bMO

Disastrous #G7 summit outcome for #climate - paying lip service to staying below 1.5C while scaling up fossil fuels is hugely reckless
RT @CANIntl: ‼️ PRESS RELEASE ‼️
Civil society groups slam #G7 on disastrous climate leadership and for backsliding on promises

Our connection with nature isn't just vital for mental & physical health - but to help us address a nature & wildlife crisis with 1 million species on brink of extinction. Public access to nature won't solve that crisis on its own - but it's a precondition for our ability to try.

A real honour to catch up with the inspirational @marionshoard today after my #RightToRoam debate - she’s done more than perhaps anyone to push the issue of land onto the agenda & over 30 years has championed greater public access cogently & fearlessly 🙏 @right_2roam
