Thanks to cross party colleagues for signing our
https://nitter.cz/ClimateAPPG
letter to Energy Minister urging her to scrap new Bill to “max out” N. Sea’s oil & gas reserves. It undermines our global

It’s so deeply dangerous for Rishi Sunak to dismiss the rule of international law in such a cavalier way. This shouldn’t be normalised. If we’re not going to abide by agreements we’ve signed up to, why should anyone else?

RT by @CarolineLucas: Complacent, poorly briefed Sunak wrong to assert the Post Office scandal was "long ago in the '90s" on #bbclaurak
Post Office admitted "a total of 700 convictions in cases it prosecuted between 1999 and 2015 in which Horizon computer evidence might have featured."

Govt said

oil field would cut energy bills - then Energy Sec admitted it wouldn't. Govt said it would boost energy security - now Minister admits vast majority of oil won't be used here. So what is Rosebank for, other than climate destruction?

Memo to Sunak - our country can't wait until 'the second half of this year' for a general election, purely because you're terrified of a thumping defeat. Our economy is on its knees, public services have been decimated, the climate is in crisis - we need a general election NOW.
