Please consider supporting this cross party bill. It is stalled in Parliament because all parties , except LibDem and Greens are playing power games with UK future. The climate and nature breakdown is not an “ideological “ issue, it is fact and we have to prepare, not have civil “power” war.

We were outside parl’t this morning, ahead of this afternoon’s Comprehensive Spending Review. Unfortunately, the gov’t is expected to announce a raft of cuts to public services. This is a political choice. They should make the super-rich pay their fair share of taxes instead.
