Not a liveable one, yet *check notes* that's exactly what Govt's proposing
I humbly suggest renewables & insulation to bring down bills & deliver energy security is better use of £500m p/yr

Right to Buy is a broken policy:
🏘️Billions in housing benefit to private landlords
🏘️2 million council homes sold off
🏘️Housing shortages drive up costs & homelessness
So today I've tabled a new parliamentary motion to scrap it. If you agree pls ask your MP to sign!

Analysis reveals 80% of North Sea oil is exported - another nail in coffin of Govt claim that “maxing out” North Sea oil will improve UK energy security. Real energy security = renewables + efficiency + storage + interconnectors. It’s not rocket science

By failing to call for a ceasefire, the UK Govt is complicit in the horrors in Gaza, says

Bill even more shameful by supporting amendment which would explicitly disapply *any* international law that might stop removals. This is seriously dangerous territory

Robert Jenrick is being deliberately slippery when he says his amendment to the vile

He openly admits any challenge has to take place - in Rwanda
