RT @GraceOSllvn: 🔥In the middle of a biodiversity and climate crisis, we are seeing calls for a "pause" on environmental legislation.

@judesherry @greenparty_ie Hi Jude, absolutely that’s why in the article I call for a reduction of pesticide use in Ireland and, more importantly, I’m voting as such in the Parliament. I have backed biggest increase in Nature Restoration in irish history as well as massive increases in organic farming.

@GTCost @SeanKellyMEP @EPPGroup That was indeed the aim, but the other Groups pressed on and came to an agreement without them. Now it's important to get at least some of them back to the table for votes in ENVI Committee and in Plenary.

Welcome statement from @SeanKellyMEP on returning to Nature Restoration Law proposals. But Seán's @EPPGroup walked out of final discussions so there are no negotiations to return to.

MEPs can show leadership now by voting in favour of the NRL, full stop.

@djames254 @DisabilityFed @GreensEFA @greenparty_ie @MyEDF Hi James thanks for the comment. I agree! Unfortunately we are only given 60 seconds to speak so we have to squeeze in a lot! Check out the @GreensEFA account to see what we are doing on workers’ rights.

I was so perturbed hearing about the treatment of @DisabilityFed campaigner Carolyn Akintola as she travelled to Brussels to represent people with disabilities, I had to bring it to the chamber floor yesterday evening.
