This makes for a great April Fools Day joke, but it's an outrageous everyday reality that politicians do this. There's a revolving door between Westminster and the fossil fuel industry and it's got to stop. More on my debate in Parliament on this:

It really is crunch time for

Hippodrome and I am hopeful that
https://nitter.privacydev.net/BrightonHoveCC
will recognise that this is THE opportunity of more than a decade to bring this beautiful and historic venue back into use.

I asked about compliance with international humanitarian law. No answer from unelected & unaccountable Foreign Sec, platitudes from his stand in. Yes, food aid to Gaza is critical. No, it doesn’t excuse UK’s complicity in imminent famine or failure to hold Israeli Govt to account

RT by @CarolineLucas: The Department for Transport’s update to its transport infrastructure planning policy has been highly criticised by the @TransportCttee chair and @TheGreenParty MP @CarolineLucas for its disregard of climate-related targets

Bottom trawling is destroying our marine habitats. It’s outrageous it's still allowed in our MPAs - our so-called marine ‘protected’ areas. Join me and

to demand the Govt protects wildlife, stops the destruction and bans bottom trawling in MPAs:

This failing Govt doesn't have the courage to face voters in May. But when the election does happen, UK democracy faces being attacked & undermined like never before. My piece in

This is the inspiring Micheal Abatan. His brother Jay was murdered in

in 1999. Micheal's spent 25 years fighting for justice and he is calling for a new inquiry into the case & its handling. I'm proud to support him.

32,000 people dead, famine imminent, UN Special Rapporteur saying reasonable grounds threshold for genocide met. Unconscionable UK is still selling arms to Israel. I joined Parliamentarians of all parties demanding an immediate end to export licenses

129% more shit than the year before. 4 million hours of raw sewage poured into England's waterways in 2023. Privatisation has failed. This is a crisis that cannot and will not be fixed unless we bring our water back into public hands

I tried to call on him to answer my points which he had ignored but got shown the hand. A Government with no answers and no solutions.

The Govt waited for most MPs to go back to their constituencies to dodge scrutiny & hold an important debate on our national travel networks. There is a huge transport sized gap in the UK's plans to cut emissions and reach net zero and this policy does nothing to change that.👇

The Govt keeps citing 200,000 UK oil and gas jobs to justify pumping more planet-heating fossil fuels. But that number is far higher than official ONS stats, nobody can verify it and it comes - you've guessed it - directly from the oil & gas lobby itself.

They like to play the defenders of England & St George, as they trample the very rights & values that could & have made people proud to be English. The right is hijacking our national story. If you believe in

The climate and nature emergencies are indivisibly linked and simply cannot wait. That's why I'm co-sponsoring the Climate and Nature Bill, which was introduced in the Commons yesterday, to push for urgent action and ambition.

How dare he be so dismissive? Can he not see with his own eyes the glaring underrepresentation of women in the UN climate talks? And does he not realise how problematic that is to actually tackling this climate crisis? Do better and call it out
