25 year Green member here. Weā€™ve been protecting trees *and* opposing genocides from the outset. Itā€™s the anti-tree, pro-genocide people who scare me.

The Green Party has become an extremist group. Long gone are the days that it protected trees.

The devastating consequences of climate breakdown are already here and the UN this week has warned that global warming will breach 1.5Ā°C. Labour's response: pushing ahead with more fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw.

Trump confirms scoop. Tells reporters he and Burnham spoke about North Sea ("Andy is getting it done, and I guess it's against the liberal principle, but he knows what's right") But remains tight lipped about Ukraine/Iran - says they spoke "lightly" about both topics

The amount Jackdaw will cut bills: Ā£0 The number of jobs it will support: 27 The net cost of Jackdaw & Rosebank to our economy: at least Ā£90 billion. Life's too short to pretend that calls to drill baby drill are anything other but a fast track for us all to burn baby burn.

@carla_denyerOct 23
The government didnā€™t just approve Jackdaw, they also reiterated their support for so-called tiebacks - a dodge to allow yet more new drilling without new licenses. This deserves almost as much scrutiny as Jackdaw and has got barely any of it, so I raised it in the Chamber.

If heat pumps and insulation could cost energy prices more than new oil drilling, why is Labour cutting the heat pump grant and contemplating approving Rosebank? Surely there's no fossil fuel lobbying going onšŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤” theguardian.com/environment/ā€¦

Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests

Warm homes plan would create 50,000 jobs, compared with about 1,100 for Rosebank oilfield, thinktank finds

To the mainstream press Burnham is riding high and Polanski a loser. Burnham stands for so little he is on the Starmer path to oblivion. Polanski and the Green Party work to reduce climate disaster and to ensure that we have decent homes and enough to live on. Who is the loser?

Replying to @ZackPolanski
@ZackPolanski still telling it as it isā€¦ unfazed, unbowed & still highly focused after a plethora of MSM attacks on his character & leadership qualities. His story still has a long, long way to run despite what his detractors would have you believe. A remarkable inner strength.

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

ALT Image shows a screenshot of the motion title and the MPs that have signed it - showing all five Green Party MPs

Image shows a screenshot of an Early Day Motion 'Drilling at Jackdaw'. The Motion Text reads: "That this House notes that the UK Governmentā€™s decision to license new drilling at the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea is at odds with their 2024 manifesto commitment not to issue licences to explore new fields because they will not take a penny off bills and cannot make us energy secure; believes that this decision ignores the climate science consensus and the UNā€™s warning that immediate and sustained cuts to greenhouse gas emissions are crucial to avoid the worst impacts of climate breakdown; further notes that Jackdaw is projected to contribute just 2% of UK gas demand at most over its lifetime, will only create 27 direct full-time jobs and, according to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, does not solve the problem of affordability; further believes that the only way to achieve genuine energy sovereignty is to get the UK off fossil fuels as fast as possible..."
