Sunak has tried his best to torch the UK's climate agenda & drag us into a toxic culture war. Here are 5 Bills he *should* announce in

today - to reduce cost of living, tackle

RT by @CarolineLucas: - Rishi Sunak has set two “environmental tests” which need to be met every year before there can be annual drilling licensing rounds for the North Sea

Wow!! Not only does Energy Secretary admit new oil & gas won't bring energy bills down - she also admits that more renewables like wind & solar *will*. Yet what do we get from this Govt? New oil & gas licences. Has Rishi Sunak been reading his energy policy documents upside down?

Shameful but not surprising that Govt has to be threatened with court action in order to do right thing in offering

This Govt is now violating international law over poverty levels in the UK. Tories have presided over 13 years of austerity cuts, slashed benefits, record food bank users, mass homelessness & cold damp homes. This is a Govt led by the rich, for the rich.

This 'Government by gimmick' approach is reckless in the extreme. New oil & gas licences won't improve energy security or cut energy bills, but they will wreck our climate & lead to Govt handing over billions in tax breaks to mega-rich fossil fuel giants.

RT by @CarolineLucas: At this time, we would like to urge people to think about others.
We understand that there is anger & a sense that what is happening in the Middle East is inflaming tensions.
But British Muslim & British Jews, like anyone else, do not deserve hate or being targeted. No excuses.

Apparently Braverman is actually seeking to criminalise charities giving tents to people who are destitute. Wonder if it’s occurred to her that tents are needed because we have a shameful homelessness crisis caused by the cruel, failing Govt she represents

Whitty talked about it publicly on on 10 and 12 March 2020, so I guess we'd better ask him where he got the idea.
