Some Tory MPs are trying to push the idea that the UK doesn't need to take action to eliminate our carbon emissions because *we're only responsible for 1%*🤷‍♀️ That's plain wrong. And the record needed to be put straight - so I did

Thanks to @ProfTimJackson  for calculations which show that - once global equity factored in - the UK has a budget of just 2.4 billion tonnes of CO2 left - likely to be gone in 5 yrs. That’s the #InconvenientTruth  - and why UK must do more #JusticeReset 

All the talk about the Covid vaccine rollout in the UK cannot hide the fact that the UK has delivered less than 10% of the doses it promised to poorer countries I raised this with the minister & got an answer that was *blah blah blah* Hopeless & morally obscene

"This is our chance, our best chance … to seize this chance is perfectly possible with the political will, if we don’t we will never be forgiven by history” Part of my speech in Commons debate today on climate & limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C #zerohour 

It's not enough to be doing *something* about #climateemergency . We have to do *enough* & we aren't Instead of patting themselves on the back for targets & good intentions, Ministers need to deliver at the speed & scale science demands My closing speech in climate debate👇

Government’s ability to completely balls up a potentially good policy should never be under-estimated. Why oh why would they set an interest rate that simply won’t work at scale needed? It’s almost as if it’s being set up to fail ….

So inspiring to hear � @carla_denyer ⁩ & � @AdrianRamsay ⁩, new co-leaders at #gpconf  “Our policies chime with what public are looking for - ambitious action on climate, public services in public hands, pay rise for key workers, income from wealth taxed & a basic income”

Strong pitch as the Party championing compassion in politics - starting with an end to the sale of arms to repressive regimes & no more demonising refugees #gpconf 

Powerful speech at #gpconf  from � @dzaierneil ⁩ speaking on behalf of � @GreensofColour ⁩, making compelling case for more funding for social care, free at point of use; right to independent living for all disabled people & challenging a “tick box” approach to equalities
