Our climate leadership is already on the brink after PM's reckless net zero rollbacks - so a climate envoy could hardly be more critical.
https://nitter.cz/theCCCuk
has urged Govt to restore role after they senselessly scrapped it. When will an envoy finally be appointed?

I'm beyond furious. If you want to know how seriously Govt takes
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23COP28
, look no further than Minister's response to my UQ just now. I asked 12 questions. I received no answers. While PM stirs up a diplomatic crisis over Greek sculptures, the world burns.

My Point of Order today, after Minister responded to my UQ on
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23COP28
by not answering a single one of the 12 questions I put to her, and speaking for just 49 seconds. How can we do our jobs as MPs, holding the Govt to account, when they abuse Parliamentary procedures like this?

"In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, when scientists are running out of language to describe the heating of the planet, and we’ve just seen that 16% of UK species are facing extinction - we need system change."

finance at

Fossil fuel firms are youthwashing their reputation, handing dirty money to unis & seeking to influence academic programmes - but can’t hide their climate destruction which is jeopardising young people’s futures. Time to kick fossil fuels out of education

Reality is being airbrushed in front of our eyes at
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23COP28
. UAE's oil giants are polluting the planet, seizing control of global climate summits & greenwashing their reputation, only to then use the platform to continue their own dirty drilling. World leaders: don't be fooled.

Current
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23COP28
chaos isn't limited to the summit being led by a greenwashing oil baron. Hosts UAE also have a terrible human rights record that can't be brushed aside. Sunak has to raise these cases *publicly*, not just privately.

As if you needed more evidence of need for more Green MPs in the next parliament…yet another Labour u-turn because totally arbitrary “fiscal rules” matter more than protecting life on earth, obvs 🙄

My reaction to smug & short-term

from Chancellor seemingly on different planet to rest of us. Cost of living crisis continues, highest inflation in G7. It was a missed opportunity to invest in public services slashed by 13 years of Tory cuts.
