Another 24 new licences to drill for oil & gas in the North Sea means yet more doubling down on the fossil fuel economy, fuelling the

What is the point of Labour if they just rubber-stamp everything the Government does - even when it comes from failed chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng?
I thought they were supposed to be against extreme inequality

Deeply depressing to hear the PM attack any plan to invest in our country. UK has the worst record in G7. Investing 1% of GDP would put us on the path to a more productive & sustainable future. Tories won't do it. Labour's flip-flopping. Green MPs needed more than ever

I'm opening a debate in the Commons shortly demanding an end to the fossil fuel industry's influence on our politics. I'm calling for
- a firewall between the industry & policy making
- no fossil fuel money in politics
- no more public subsidies for fossil fuels

Labour’s failure to have courage to invest in vital green transition shows how easily they’re blown off course by perceived short-term electoral advantage. Green initiatives with no funding are meaningless. Whoever forms next govt, Green MPs are more important than ever
