Minister says his “thoughts & sympathies” are with flood victims - but it rings hollow when Govt is making extreme weather events worse by doubling down on new fossil fuels.
When will they:
- Fix crumbling flood defences
- Take adaptation seriously
- End new oil and gas licences

The last thing our flooded country needs right now is a climate-wrecking Bill to expand oil & gas production
It's a political stunt from a desperate PM and sends a dangerous signal to other countries of a UK doubling down on the fossil fuel economy

The Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill fails on all counts
❌it won't deliver energy security
❌it won't cut household bills
❌it undermines UK climate targets
❌it ignores an accelerating climate crisis
That's why I'm saying MPs should kill the Bill now

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?

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.
