  2. Sadly, other commitments mean I can't be in today's Westminster Hall debate on banning sale of animal fur in UK Fur farming is rightly banned here but we perpetuate animal cruelty if we allow the import of furs. If it's too cruel to be farmed, it's too cruel to sell

  6. HS2's legacy will be one of environmental annihilation, eye-watering expense and broken promises. It should be scrapped MPs packed Westminster Hall for a debate on HS2 last night. Here's part of my speech

  10. Can't quite believe this - a circular letter saying your Govt will not reply to MPs on individual cases in Afghanistan is a long way from promise you made on 6 Sept that MPs would get replies by close of play that day I will keep trying to help my constituents

  11. The face of *Global Britain* Selling arms is bad enough, but for one Government department to try to sell arms to countries identified by another Government department as "of human rights concern" is unconscionable

  16. People trapped in Afghanistan need more than warm words from UK Government: those at risk, who have connections to UK, need practical assistance & to know they will be allowed to come here Deeply worrying that ministers still can't answer specific questions from MPs on this

    The UK has vowed to cut emissions by 78% by 2035, but new research shows current plans will deliver less than a quarter of the cuts needed to get us on track Ambitious targets require ambitious policy! There is no time to waste ⌛️🌍🔥
