Glad Govt offering higher offshore wind prices, after recent terrible zero-bid auction - & still cheaper than new gas. If Govt cares about energy security, it should be prioritising homegrown renewables over climate-wrecking gas subject to volatile prices

Our constituents are watching tonight as MPs vote on whether to back a full ceasefire. I’ll vote for that ceasefire - to move towards a political solution, stop the killing, free hostages, protect civilians & ensure aid & fuel gets in. We must stand on the right side of history.

Really powerful & packed meeting with families of hostages, & such moving testimonies - Hamas must release hostages immediately & unconditionally so they can be reunited with their families - I’ll keep pressing UK Government to do more to advocate on their behalf

Securing rapid, fair & global fossil fuel phaseout at

isn't optional - it's vital. If PM doesn't show strong climate leadership & work with allies to secure it, 1.5C global heating limit will be in serious jeopardy.

This is a scandal - *over half* of homes in

&
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23Hove
have poor energy efficiency. People are living in cold & damp homes, paying extortionate energy bills. So why on earth has Govt scrapped standards to make rental homes more energy efficient?

Flood protection is being unforgivably neglected by ministers. Just weeks after huge numbers of homes were hit by devastating floods, case for protection is clear, yet government has utterly failed to provide it. This report shows it’s going to get worse

RT by @CarolineLucas: 🏚️ There is no legal requirement for private rented homes to be "fit for human habitation" in England.

⚠️ This loophole allows landlords to rent out dangerous homes with no consequences.

💚 We would strengthen renters' rights with a ban on no-fault evictions and a rent cap.

Difficult to describe my horror at extent of discrimination & bullying now revealed at CityClean depot. I was alarmed to hear scale of issues earlier this year & have pushed for change - so I'm glad independent KC report called for is now in public domain.

Companies like Drax are burning trees & polluting our planet for their own profit. Rather than make them pay for damage & help people with sky-high energy bills, Govt has gifted them *£11 billion* in subsidies. The greenwash has to stop. I've signed pledge to

More oil & gas won't "benefit families" as PM claims - they'll line pockets of mega-rich fossil fuel giants. We're in an energy affordability crisis, not an energy supply crisis. A nationwide street-by-street mass insulation programme *would* get bills down - & cut emissions too.
