Lib Dem leader Ed Davey attended a fancy charity gala in Feb at the invitation of a fossil fuel firm.

All involved claim that there were no strings attached. But why else would a company wine and dine a politician, if not to gain political influence?

So lovely to host a green group meet and munch this week with @XRCardiff, Cardiff Civic Society, Cardiff, Vale, and the Valleys Green Party, Green Squirrel, Orchard Cardiff and others.

Genuinely can’t quite believe that @Labour is supporting fuel duty freeze which
- has cost c. £90bn since 2010
- ⁠increased emissions by 7%
- ⁠benefits wealthiest most
Has it totally given up on progressive politics? #Budget2024

Simply cannot believe this Govt is still freezing fuel duty. UK Treasury is losing billions of pounds which could be spent on buses and trains that would benefit everyone, particular the poorest households - 40% of whom don’t own a car #Budget2024

Responding to the climate emergency and achieving a just transition is the greatest political challenge we face 🌍

Well worth reading the responses of both candidates to be Welsh Labour leader and our next First Minister to Friends of the Earth Cymru's questions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

📢EIR Ltd is proposing to mine coal tips in South Wales to evade Welsh Government policies against coal mining. This idea is bonkers but local community campaigners are already resisting it ✊ With 100s coal tips, this isn't the way to remediate them🌏
