The Minister for Cabinet Office needs to stop digging. Claiming Pincher “meant no harm”, that the PM “didn’t immediately recall” crucial conversations and that the PM “acted with probity” is beyond parody. The stench of decay is overwhelming - surely this can’t go on any longer

There is a moral vacuum at the heart of the Tory Party
RT @JoelTaylorhack: Michael Fabricant on #r5live: ‘Nothing is black & white in this world… the way Pincher] has been characterised… it does make me wonder who is the guilty party, who is the innocent party’

Why didn't @BorisJohnson sack Chris Pincher in 2019? Instead he kept him in his Ministerial post & worse, put him in a high-powered position in charge of his MPs' welfare - despite telling me at #PMQs in April that sexual harassment is "intolerable" & "grounds for dismissal" 👇

Oil & gas companies are making obscene profits during a cost of living scandal

My #WindfallTaxBill amendment brings taxation of fossil fuel profits in line with global average & stops absurdly generous subsidies for investment

We can't keep letting oil & gas giants off the hook

Sigh - what a load of BS "levelling up" is turning out to be. Simple but important Qs bundled together & ignored. Their plans on extending 'right to buy' are populist, half-baked & ill-advised - and they can barely be bothered to argue otherwise

Not a good look @michaelgove

You can't just "make Brexit work", @Keir_Starmer, when it’s clearly doing such damage

Pretending #Brexit can be positive is dishonest, plays into hands of Govt & undermines national interest

Instead, admit this is about damage limitation - don’t falsely claim to “make it work”

RT @GreenPartyMolly: Brexit was a project to serve interests of oligarchs and tax avoiders

And to undermine social/environmental protections

Why on earth would @Keir_Starmer want to make that work?

Only much closer economic relationship with EU partners will reverse economic destruction of Brexit

RT @GreenPartyMolly: Economic commentator on @BBCr4today crystal clear:

📉 Sterling trading at permanently lower rate since Brexit

😱 This means we are importing more inflation

When energy bills are soaring, the last thing people need is the ballooning cost of embryonic nuclear white elephants

And while giant corporates get generous exemptions, the very worst-off will be directly footing the bill

#Cumbriacoalmine fact 5:

6 months ago at @COP26, the world agreed to "phase down coal", & the PM himself said "I don't want more coal" - but now Govt wants to phase it back in

Yet more broken climate promises

It's time @markjenkinsonmp was honest:

- 80% of the coal will be exported & not even used in 🇬🇧
- @BritishSteelUK says the coal contains too much sulphur & they won't even use it
- Europe's transitioning to green steel so quickly, the mine will be redundant before it's even open

We know how to tackle the #climateemergency:

- Street-by-street home insulation programme to slash bills & emissions
- Restore nature & protect carbon sinks
- Keep fossil fuels in the ground

Why won't this Govt get on & do it?

Hey @FCDOGovUK, why were MPs not informed of a major policy change - to immediately process high-risk Afghans @BritishCouncil - that was revealed at #DPMQs by a Tory backbencher today??

This is clearly welcome but pls urgently confirm it applies to @CheveningAfghan & GardaWorld

#Cumbriacoalmine fact 3:

The steel industry is rapidly transitioning to fossil-fuel-free green steel - so demand for coking coal is plummeting

This mine will be practically redundant before it even opens
