Very worrying. “… it emerged that the Guardian, BBC, Daily Mirror, Independent & i newspaper were not invited [on Rwanda trip]. The home secretary will be accompanied by journalists from organisations including GB News, Daily Mail and Telegraph”

From Aug 2023, the ULEZ expansion to outer London will deliver:
⬇️ Close to 16% decrease in exhaust car emissions
⬇️ 146k decrease in car trips
⬆️ Clearer air for 5 million Londoners
It’s the bold action we need to protect Londoners’ health and tackle the climate emergency.

The earth has already warmed by more than 1°C. We can still limit temperature rise to 1.5°C & avoid the worst climate impacts. But we need more ambition and action now.
There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate

We need a system that balances control with compassion and the recognition of human dignity.
You can watch my opening speech and the full debate from 10am here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde…

'Blew it'?! For treating the country as a toy & people's lives & livelihoods so cavalierly Kwarteng & Truss should be kicked out of Parliament & banned from public office for life.

wow great news! one third of CofE Dioceses have divested from fossil fuels!
Where is your Diocese on this list and what can you do to encourage them to take your money out of fossil fuels - for love of your global neighbour

The Conservative MPs who have campaigned against green policies have helped ensure we remain dependent on fossil fuel imports, and therefore on the grim governments, like Putin's, that supply them.
We need to break our dependence on fossil fuels, whatever their origin.

Airlines are flying empty planes across the world as part of their contractual commitments.
This is one of the most dumb Humans of Late Capitalism act out there (Ok Drax too).

Hi @MarcusFysh on behalf of a constituent that you were elected to represent but have chosen to block I’d like to pass on a message.
Tomorrow, please vote for the Duke of Wellington’s amendment to stop #rawsewage being dumped in our waterways tomorrow. Thanks
#SewageScandal
Hi @MarcusFysh, you seem to have inadvertently blocked one of your constituents
On his behalf could you please stop voting to dump sewage in our beaches and rivers and excusing your mates from committing egregious breaches of parliamentary rules?

🚨 Is Yeovil’s Tory MP going to vote for more sewage in our rivers AGAIN tomorrow?
✍️ Contact his office and tell him to put a stop to water companies being allowed to use our rivers as open sewers (contact info in article)👇🏻

Hey, Marcus Fysh, are you going to vote (again) for raw sewage in the river Yeo?
@Feargal_Sharkey “It’s a scam, it’s a sham and it’s a disgrace. Act now. Write to you MP today and demand that they support the House of Lords amendment.”

Imagine we had a Lord Chancellor who spoke up for lawyers under political attack as passionately as he speaks up for his local Tesco Metro.
Concerned to have received reports that Tesco Metro in #Swindon Town Centre will be changing to a Tesco Express, which may result in higher prices and less offers. I have contacted Tesco today to ask for an update and to request that this store remains a Tesco Metro.

Keep up the great work @RNLI because as some of your disparagers repeatedly told us All Lives Matter.

Today I got my first COVID-19 vaccination dose. I am extremely grateful and privileged to be able to live in a part of the world where I can already get vaccinated. The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal. 1/2
