Laura, people really *would* forgive you for not asking Starmer about what it’s like living in Downing St. Harder to forgive is not a *single* question about greatest challenge facing humanity. July was 13th consecutive month of temperatures above 1.5

#climatecrisis
When leaders like Starmer blather on about “tough choices”, why is it *always* code for hitting some of the poorest hardest? Where’s the “tough choice” of a wealth tax on the super-rich? Why do shivering pensioners have to pay the price for “fixing the foundations”?

💚. And thanks to my amazing team (you know who you are!) without whom I couldn’t have done any of it x. PS I’ve not really “gone” - reports of my demise are much exaggerated :)

Wonderful to join our friends and colleagues
@TheGreenParty
at their conference in Manchester today. The panel got to reflect on the general election, talk about real collaboration and common ground in politics, and embrace joy, humour and optimism. Thank you for having us!
We’re looking forward to joining esp to hear a great line-up discuss the key challenges and drivers for shifting to more nature friendly farming. Come along tomorrow (7th), 5:15pm, in the auditorium at Manchester Central.

in Manchester to huge applause - making case for taxing super-rich to fund the investment our public services so desperately need, for restoring nature & bringing water back into public hands. This Govt needs to be bolder & better
“The party is on a roll” - dead right
@AdrianRamsay
! We’ve increased councillor numbers 5-fold in last 5 elections & in parliament it’s Greens pushing Govt to be bolder & braver. Labour promised change - without investment they won’t achieve it
“As Greens, we counter Labour’s message of doom and gloom. Things can get better – and fast – but only if the new Government has the courage to invest.” Spot on

🎉 As we head to
@TheGreenParty
conference this weekend, I'm delighted to welcome Martin to the party.
🙏🏼A huge step after 14 years of being a Labour member & former chair of the Fabian Society.
💚 If you want to join us in building a sustainable future:
I was pleased to back the Great British Energy Bill today. For it to have a game-changing impact we need more ambition - including on moving away from fossil fuels, supporting community renewables and restoring nature.
Well said
@EllieChowns
- this is a real litmus test to see whether Labour will stand up for civil liberties & human rights & repeal these draconian laws
5 peaceful climate protesters are facing an excessive sentence under the undemocratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.
I’m calling on Labour to repeal the Conservatives’ repressive anti-protest laws which undermine our obligations under international law.
⏳ Well it has to be the Climate and Nature Bill,
@labourlewis
, surely?! We championed this crucial Bill together in the last Parliament—and you now have a golden opportunity to finally lock the
#CANBill
into law
@ChrisGPackham
Hey, bonus - I've got Parliamentary time to put down a Private Members Bill of my choosing.
Have an idea for what it should be?
Then Quote Tweet it to me....
Today’s new Water Bill is a step forward but fails to fix the system. We need far stronger enforcement measures, more resources for regulators, measures to tackle pollution from farming & finally to bring water back into public hands -join the March to demand more!
