Prof Catherine Rowett 💚 Ex-MEP @catherinerowett@respublicae.eu

Tories finding themselves in a tricky spot over whether one ought to resign if one is found guilty of breaking laws one voted through. Their contortions are unedifying.
It appears they've never encountered an honourable person.

Instead we need good green jobs to deliver a genuine green revolution. That means jobs in agroforestry and organic farming, jobs in wind, solar and wave power, jobs in insulation and waste reduction, jobs in public transport and railway maintenance/improvement. #GreenNewDeal

Jobs are not good if the industry they work for is destroying the planet. #Drax should stop burning the trees and stop pretending to be green energy. It's giving the 🇬🇧 a bogus sense of achievement. We have a filthy power industry importing felled trees at huge carbon cost.

What a depressing list of things in the Queen's Speech. I would hope Prince Charles would read something different that would set a more respectable suite of legislation on track. #QueensSpeech

RT @BrianGoredemaBr: The Tories say they will use the Queen’s Speech to get rid of EU environmental restrictions. What they really mean is getting rid of environmental protection. Thus allowing companies to further pollute our water and beaches. Profit matters more than people and our health ☹️

RT @13sarahmurphy: A govt vindictively smearing the leader of the opposition to try to get their lawbreaking lying leader off the hook is not a govt that will ‘level up’, restore power-sharing in NI or resolve the issue of the border they put in the Irish Sea.
They’re not thinkers. They’re thugs.
