Trying to blame devolved admins & mumbling *as soon as possible* just isn't good enough. Govt is running scared of scrutiny - yet again

RT by @CarolineLucas: "It’s often said that waging peace is far more difficult than waging war. But we have no choice if we’re to build a safer and more secure world for every child."

Govt says strikes in Yemen were to "send a message" - yet message we intend to send isn't necessarily the one that's received and many in region see it as an intervention in war in support of Israel
PM claims action was "limited, not escalatory", but that doesn't make it so

It takes courage to start a dialogue but without it Israel & Gaza are condemned to endless war
To get there, there must be a ceasefire & accountability on both sides
The UK Govt is promoting neither, abdicating its responsibility

Seems like Sunak is dodging scrutiny by failing to appoint new chair of Climate Change Committee - handy to avoid being challenged on his economically & environmentally illiterate strategy of rolling back measures for cheaper electricity & warmer homes

how many times he's been briefed on climate science by the Chief Scientist in 2023 and he refers me to an answer given by (checks photo) - Boris Johnson in 2022
Does the PM not read MPs' questions? Or does he always check with Johnson first?

What's terrifying about this isn't only that 2023 was the warmest year ever, it's how close we're coming to 1.5C - the limit signed up to in the Paris Agreement
Yet still Govt want to expand drilling for fossil fuels. How many more warnings do they need?

Minister says his “thoughts & sympathies” are with flood victims - but it rings hollow when Govt is making extreme weather events worse by doubling down on new fossil fuels.
When will they:
- Fix crumbling flood defences
- Take adaptation seriously
- End new oil and gas licences

The last thing our flooded country needs right now is a climate-wrecking Bill to expand oil & gas production
It's a political stunt from a desperate PM and sends a dangerous signal to other countries of a UK doubling down on the fossil fuel economy

The Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill fails on all counts
❌it won't deliver energy security
❌it won't cut household bills
❌it undermines UK climate targets
❌it ignores an accelerating climate crisis
That's why I'm saying MPs should kill the Bill now
