Govt claims that climate-wrecking Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill would deliver cleaner energy are simply untrue
We import most of our gas from Norway where gas production is *half* as polluting as in the UK & most emissions come in the burning of the gas, not its production

Labour rightly & noisily are waving a big stick at the water industry over sewage pouring into our rivers & on to our beaches
But they ignore the key point: privatisation has failed. Water is an essential resource & should be in public hands as it is everywhere else in Europe

RT by @CarolineLucas: Q. Are @TheGreenParty losing their unique selling point, now all the parties are 'going green'?
[a common journalists' question]
A. No. Because the other parties see climate as a bolt-on extra they can discard when the going gets tough.

Right to Buy is a broken policy:

🏘️2 million council homes sold off

So today I've tabled a new parliamentary motion to scrap it. If you agree pls ask your MP to sign!

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
