RT @CommonsEAC: As part of our 25th anniversary celebration at @imperialcollege last month we invited academics to submit proposals for the Committee to take forward as an inquiry.

🗣Academics pitched inquiries in front of a live audience to a panel of Committee members:

RT @theCCCuk: The UK Government has not delivered what is needed to address the climate risks we all face. The current approach to adaptation is not leading to the changes required to protect people, businesses, and the economy. https://www.theccc.org.uk/2023/03/29/climate-change-has-arrived-yet-the-country-is-still-strikingly-unprepared/

Pleased to be co-sponsoring this important EDM - please ask your MP to sign 👇
RT @CAATuk: As #Yemen enters its 9th year of war this week, 70 MPs have called on the Government to end all support for the war, suspend all arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and to use all diplomatic means at its disposal to support the role of the Yemeni people in building sustainable peace.

Where there's drilling, there's spilling - 721 North Sea oil spills in last 3 years alone. After Poole Harbour disaster, why won't Govt review Planning Inspectorate decision to allow testing for shale oil drilling in #Balcombe - in middle of High Weald AONB? @CPRE @FFBRA_Balcombe

@CommonsEAC said: Introduce tax breaks for renewables investment ☀️

Govt said: No chance, we will continue to offer enormous tax breaks to fossil fuel companies, but we're going to leave renewable companies high & dry.

@CommonsEAC said: End the de facto ban on onshore wind, and set targets to expand generating capacity by 2035 as already happens with offshore wind, solar etc. ⚡️

Govt said: Sorry, we're still "consulting" - and nope, we're leaving this in the hands of "the market".

@CommonsEAC said: Allocate a proportion of money raised from the windfall tax to improve energy efficiency, slashing emissions and energy bills 💸

Govt said: Nope, this would have a "constraining impact" on public finances.

@CommonsEAC said: Bring forward a ban on flaring in the North Sea (also recommended by @CSkidmoreUK's Net Zero Review) to 2025 at the very latest 🔥

Govt said: We've already set a "challenging" target... of 7 years' time.

@CommonsEAC said: Set an end date for new oil & gas licences, and ensure this date falls well before 2050 🛢️

Govt response: totally ignore the question, and just say "we will need oil and gas for decades to come".

#WildIsles showed us the beauty & power of nature but also its fragility - we are one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. On #EarthHour Govt must enact #PeoplesPlanForNature, to harness nature's power & protect it not just today but for generations to come @wwf_uk

BP is no generous patron of the arts, or champion of culture - it's a climate criminal fossil fuel company involved in toxic gas flaring, dodgy Russian oil deals & glad-handing repressive rulers.

By accepting BP's sponsorship, @britishmuseum is nothing less than their accomplice
RT @Cult_Unstained: What would it look like if the ⁦@britishmuseum⁩ told the truth about its BP sponsorship? 🏛 🤔

Absolutely this 👇
RT @NEON_UK: 'We only have a third of the policies in place to hit net zero by 2050. And when the IPCC report stresses the importance of climate justice, we in the UK have a moral imperative to do more.'

RT @carla_denyer: Disappointing to hear Yvette Cooper on #r4today refusing to say whether Labour would increase capital gains tax to the same level as income tax.

It's not a radical idea that those who get their income from assets should pay as much tax as those who earn their income from work.

RT @matthew1butcher: By my calculations:

Sunak's tax rate on income - 36%
Sunak's tax rate on capital gains - 20%

Wonder why they haven't equalised them so people are properly taxed on the value of their assets increasing..?
