Millions are breathing toxic, polluted air. Yet instead of following advice from their *own officials* & cleaning it up, Ministers are now set to scrap regulations under reckless Retained EU Law Act. Govt’s cavalier attitude towards clean air has to stop.

What a farce. UK Govt proposes shameful legislation to degrade our democracy & disrespect legal judgment of highest domestic court in the land. And now Rwandan Govt warns it wants nothing to do with a deal if it trashes international law. Words piss up & brewery spring to mind.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Don't believe the narrative the Boris Johnson will try to push today at the inquiry that he "made the right calls" with covid.

He definitively did not:

- &gt;230,000 UK citizens died

- Covid positive patients were sent back to care homes

RT by @CarolineLucas: "The possibility of a Covid pandemic was not something that he really “broken upon the political world” or entered his consciousness as a potential disaster."

My goodness.

Sometimes, just sometimes, you have to be proactive rather than being reactive.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Johnson has mentioned 'behavioural fatigue" fourt imes already this morning - the idea that the public would quickly tire of lockdown so we shouldn't impose it too soon.

I would argue that this is one of the most costly misunderstandings of the pandemic.

This is a great thread on Cleverly’s new Rwanda treaty and the govt’s legislative plans.  The whole thing seems as unworkable as it is grotesque. An utter embarrassment for the UK on so many fronts.

"We lead the world on net zero", he said.
"We're on track to meet all our targets", he said.
"We’re so far ahead of every other country", he said.
Tell the truth, PM. We're off track to meet our climate targets by a wide margin. This is your failure.

Banning bonuses for sewage-dumping water firm bosses is a start, but only a start. Water privatisation has utterly failed &amp; the whole system needs an overhaul - water should be back in public hands. Labour motion today doesn't go anywhere near far enough.
