The vast majority of new oil & gas will be exported abroad & sold at global prices. It won't improve our energy security, and it won't make our energy bills cheaper either. What it will do is wreck our climate - and Rishi Sunak is complicit in its damage. Spot on @ZackPolanski 👇

🚨NEW: #Rosebank oil field won’t improve energy security or cut bills – but it will shatter our climate commitments &amp; demolish global leadership. If Govt doesn't block Rosebank, it's complicit in this climate crime.

Great to be right here right now at the glorious #Brighton Hippodrome with @FatboySlim 😊. It’s an absolute jewel in the city’s crown, the restoration has been brilliant &amp; we need further work to get the green light asap so the whole city can enjoy such a fab performance space 💚

I’ve worked with different owners of this beautiful Frank Matcham jewel for most of my time as MP, but local developers Matsim are only ones to give the #Brighton Hippodrome the love, care &amp; significant investment needed to restore it - here’s hoping whole city gets behind them

🚨NEW: The planet is burning &amp; Sunak is asleep at the wheel. He should attend #COP28, help secure global agreement to phase out fossil fuels, &amp; get serious about abundant &amp; affordable clean energy here at home.

“Labour sources”? 👀
They should take a deep breath, look at the detail and stop falling into the trap of Conservative culture wars.
Cleaning up our air to protect people from asthma, heart disease, dementia and stunted lung growth should not be this hard to defend.

Two front page headlines today. This says all you need to know about Govt’s total disconnection from climate reality. Green pledges don’t need watering down, but ramping up in speed &amp; scale, investing in a liveable future &amp; taking everyone along with us. He’s failing miserably. https://t.co/uQVXr9hFzY

Re Also outrageous that staff taking part in lawful marking boycott, supported by legal ballot, are being docked 100% of their pay - despite only withholding 15-20% of their labour &amp; doing all other aspects of their job. This policy is an attack on right to strike. #SaveBrightonUni https://t.co/5rmRVuVSsG

Staggering question-dodging &amp; obfuscation from Climate Minister. Some facts for him:
- Govt installed just *2* onshore wind turbines in England last year.
- Norway gas imports have a lower carbon footprint, not higher.
- CCC says need for oil &amp; gas does not justify *new* fields. https://t.co/hrABmPxMHz
