There is no end to the damage even this zombie Tory government can do on its way out. This week they trashed any last vestige of a claim to UK climate leadership. But the climate emergency is happening & this is no time to play politics. My piece in Metro:

The Govt has finally seen reason and pulled the UK out of the climate-wrecking Energy Charter Treaty, but in the same week they pass damaging new legislation doubling down on oil and gas. Ministers are being totally incoherent - more fossil fuels will never get us to net zero.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Channel 4 is tackling Southern Water’s massive failure of the south coast. It’s horrific, scatological, informative, and unfailingly witty.

Love that @joelycett has taken this on. It’s exactly why we need to take water and sewage back into our own hands.

1.4 million people in Rafah worried about survival.
While 600 MPs at Westminster are fixated on narrow party political advantage and procedural wrangling.
Talk about not meeting the moment…

The House of Commons has once again descended into farce - what an embarrassment

Total chaos in the chamber. Deeply disappointed that SNP motion has not been put. While political games are played at Westminster, more lives are lost in Gaza. Greens are clear: we need an immediate

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Green Councillor Peter Christie. He dedicated his life to serving his local community and striving towards a better, greener future. He will be deeply missed but the example he set will continue to inspire us.

I'm tired of this Govt using oil &amp; gas workers as an excuse to issue new fossil fuel licenses - the truth is by failing to act now to manage a fair and just transition, led by workers &amp; unions, they’re failing those workers &amp; their families &amp; risk leaving communities hollowed out

[2024-02-20 19:51 UTC]

Expansion of fossil fuels is simply not in line with net zero - how many experts do I have to quote before the Government will listen?

[2024-02-20 19:47 UTC]

The Government's Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill was never anything but a desperate and dangerous political stunt to use the climate emergency as a front in its culture war. New oil and gas is not compatible with 1.5 or in workers interests.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 💥 BREAKING 💥

For nine months, the Government has been fighting to keep its assessments of the risks surrounding its climate plans in the dark. It’s not hard to see why.

We’ve got their risk tables here:

I thought we were meant to ban bad things, not good ones. We have 165k vacancies in social care, yet a Cabinet Minister vilifies people who might want to come here to work in care for also wanting to live with their family.
Horrible, aggressive &amp; stupid

The terrifying foxification of UK politics is happening before our eyes.

is waging a dangerous culture war on everything from climate change and vaccines to trans people and immigrants. Rather than endorse it, we need a Prime Minister who stands resolutely against it.

RT by @CarolineLucas: 1/4 Civilians in #Rafah have nowhere to go to escape Israeli bombardment. 1.3 million Palestinians are now in the city after fleeing other areas of Gaza. That is a 5 fold increase in the population.
