As members of the Tory Party use ever more divisive, dangerous and dehumanising language every day, it seems a good time to reshare my article from last month about the dangers of Trump's election playbook coming now to Britain via the Tory Party.

Two years since

's attack on

began and Britain still hasn't turned off the taps that fill Putin's war chest. Yesterday I tabled a motion with

to close the sanction loopholes letting dirty Russian oil into UK - and still fuelling 1 in 20 UK flights

Sigh. Another day, another

Exactly 2 years since I asked the Government this question - and information is still as powerful as any tank. Why is UK still turning a blind eye to Russian interference?  What will it take for this Government to act? No wonder

has no fear of Western reprisals.

Gaza aid deliveries paused amid ‘incredible level of desperation’ - just horrifying. While arguments swirl about parliamentary procedure at Westminster, this is the reality in Gaza.

Attack climate action. Demonize trans people. Slam civil servants and state institutions. Liz Truss and her PopCon friends are using the same Bannon playbook that put Trump into the White House. They are the extremists we should fear.

There is no end to the damage even this zombie Tory government can do on its way out. This week they trashed any last vestige of a claim to UK climate leadership. But the climate emergency is happening & this is no time to play politics. My piece in Metro:

While 600 MPs at Westminster are fixated on narrow party political advantage and procedural wrangling.
Talk about not meeting the moment…

I'm tired of this Govt using oil &amp; gas workers as an excuse to issue new fossil fuel licenses - the truth is by failing to act now to manage a fair and just transition, led by workers &amp; unions, they’re failing those workers &amp; their families &amp; risk leaving communities hollowed out

[2024-02-20 19:51 UTC]

Expansion of fossil fuels is simply not in line with net zero - how many experts do I have to quote before the Government will listen?

[2024-02-20 19:47 UTC]

The Government's Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill was never anything but a desperate and dangerous political stunt to use the climate emergency as a front in its culture war. New oil and gas is not compatible with 1.5 or in workers interests.

For nine months, the Government has been fighting to keep its assessments of the risks surrounding its climate plans in the dark. It’s not hard to see why.
