Absolutely bonkers plan by @Conservatives which is extremely expensive, for us and for the planet. They are useless with everyone else's money.

King Charles MUST cancel this UK #Trump visit. Does anyone want to see our monarch in an embarrassing photo opportunity with the baby bully currently inhabiting the White House after tonight’s disgusting tantrum? Surely no matter what our struggles we are better than that?!

Utterly stomach-churning. And is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? The PM must pick a side

How much will this cost the treasury @RachelReevesMP? Shame on this govt for taking away pensioners' winter fuel payments while giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires - totally skewed priorities https://t.co/idOicYpOJS

Trump's inauguration should mark a turning point. Time for the UK to stop trying to ride the US's coattails and start working with those who share our values and want the things we want.

Solar panels on all suitable new homes is a win-win-win: cutting bills, cutting emissions, and making UK more energy secure. We've got a vanishingly small window of chance to prevent climate breakdown & we need to take every chance we can get to bring down emissions #SunshineBill

The shameful decision of @Conservatives to join a hard right campaign to weaponise child sexual abuse and exploitation for political gain is beneath their office; the cynical opportunism clearly shown by the fact that Badenoch never previously raised this in the House. #PMQs

Thames Water is drowning in debt while sewage floods our rivers. It’s clear: private ownership has failed. Put water back in public hands.

🌳Street trees reduce the amount of asthma related hospital visits 🏥 Studies looked at the correlation of asthma attacks and tree density - and saw a clear link between areas with lots of trees and lower rates of asthma attacks. Trees = healthy cities & healthy people 🌳🏙️

I know that, like me, many of you will be feeling fearful this morning. So on this dark day, we stand in solidarity with all those who dreaded this moment and must now live with its consequences, including those in Gaza and in Ukraine. The struggle for truth, peace, and justice

Very distressing to see the dangerous flooding in Spain - my heart is with all those affected We know events like this are made more likely by climate breakdown. All governments must act now to be ready for and prevent catastrophes like this in future Inaction is not an option

Suggestions that solar panels for new homes may just be optional after pressure on Labour from house builders would make mockery of any commitment to greener homes - Labour must face down house builder lobby if it’s to retain any credibility on this 👇

Long-delayed regulations for England may ‘encourage’ housebuilders to equip homes with solar panels, rather than requiring them

Sadly has hardly made the news in the UK so far. Hopefully will ramp up in coming days 🙏
Nature’s crisis demands nothing short of extraordinary action... As #COP16Colombia kicks off, leaders must deliver—on a scale and with an urgency that matches what’s at stake. Our world can't survive on empty promises. 🌎

I'm proud to be co-sponsoring the 'Sunshine Bill' introduced in Parliament yesterday☀ It's simple and obvious: new homes should be fitted with solar panels as standard!✅ This would bring down household bills, cut emissions, and help make every new home fit for the future!🏠

Starmer says there must be no more pollution of rivers. But how will he achieve that while private water companies are profiting from failure? We need to bring water into public hands so profits go into fixing infrastructure, not into shareholder pockets #LabourConference2024
