If the cost of living crisis won’t move this government, maybe the collapse of their climate programme will.
After 35 years of privatisation:
- No new major water reservoirs built
- 3bn litres lost to leaks every day
- £85bn taken in dividends.
Public ownership is the only credible fix.

We can’t survive without nature.
Proud to stand with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social kham and @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social to launch our Bill giving nature the legal protections it deserves.
The Greens will keep fighting for nature, because when we protect nature, we protect everything we depend on.

Today I led a debate on UK compliance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, highlighting the horrific crisis in Gaza: mass killings, starvation, displacement. The evidence of genocide is undeniable and demands urgent action. 🧵
