R to @CarolineLucas: And yes, what about all those tax revenues @grahamstuart mentions? For every £100 fossil fuel companies plunge into oil and gas, they can claim £91.40 back from the Treasury!

R to @CarolineLucas: Whether it’s the International Energy Agency or the UN – the message is clear: There can be no new oil, gas, or coal development if we are to stand a chance of limiting temperatures to 1.5C.

R to @CarolineLucas: We may have cut our territorial emissions, but progress is slowing – and this says nothing at all about the UK’s hidden consumption emissions which have fallen much less dramatically.

The Chancellor has a clear choice in his next Budget: appease his right-wing backbenchers with tax cuts or revive the economy, combat climate change & make the vital investment in the green economy that we desperately need and Labour's running scared of committing to

This Govt’s war on climate action goes marching on. When it’s not promoting drilling for more oil & gas, it’s ditching or delaying the vital green transition. Future generations will pay a terrible price for these climate crimes

If this is answer then Starmer is asking wrong question. It’s fiscally irresponsible NOT to invest in climate action - economic, social & env costs of breaching 1.5 limit are eye watering. This is exactly why more Green MPs are so vital in next Parliament
