🚨TOMORROW🚨 At 11am I’m leading a debate in Parliament urging Govt to #StopRosebank - a climate-wrecking oil field that won’t help energy security (it’s mostly exported), won’t cut bills & will cost taxpayers £3.75 billion
Please ask your MP to attend👇

Stunning clarity from Lord Deben - a former Conservative Cabinet Minister. Exactly the sort of climate leadership that the Tory Right are purging from their ranks. As things stand, he probably wouldn’t make it to a Labour shortlist either.

Just Stop Oil: 📢 "They ought to make themselves a nuisance in every circumstance they can, because we have to act now".
🔥 Tory peer Lord Deben speaks in support of Morgan, Marcus, and all ordinary people in civil resistance.

Profits are driving inflation. When will politicians and the Bank of England admit it? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/06/26/profits-are-driving-inflation-when-will-politicians-and-the-bank-of-england-admit-it/ https://t.co/RLUh6Y7ac1

Around 50 young people remain missing from a #Hove hotel, yet now Braverman wants to re-open it & put even more vulnerable asylum-seeking children at risk. Sadly I can't make this rally as I have commitments in Parliament, but standing in solidarity ✊

The Home Office plans to start putting unaccompanied children in a hotel in Hove again, despite already losing hundreds from that very same hotel.

BREAKING: We challenged @Equinor's Chief Economist Eirik Wærness on his way to Parliament to lobby for Rosebank oil field.
Rosebank would cost the public £3.75 billion in public money & fuel climate collapse.
We have to cut these companies out of our politics and #StopRosebank. https://t.co/WrEP2YxyMI

Two out of five guests on tonight's @bbcquestiontime are staunch opponents of climate action.
- John Redwood has downplayed the role of human-made CO2 emissions in climate change
- Reform UK's Ben Habib wants to "ditch" the UK's net zero target

People could be protected from soaring bills *right now* without fuelling inflation further, by shifting money from wealthy to those on lower incomes. A tax on the super-rich, fair & decent public sector pay, raising Universal Credit to £40 per week. Yet PM chooses to do nothing. https://t.co/5A8FmSXNOn

Only had 60 secs to sum up whole host of reasons why Lords amendments to Govt's reckless #REULBill were critical - to stop blatant executive power grab & avoid environmental protections being trashed. Govt has, to its shame, just voted down both amendments. @euromove @GreenerUK_
