    I have tried for years to make receipt of farm payments a registrable financial interest for MPs. Other outside income has to be declared, why not these? Loads of farmers in Commons with a vested interest in what they’re voting on.

    Philip Dunne MP, who tried to scupper the green elements of Gove's Agriculture Bill, is bidding to become new chair of the Environmental Audit Committee. Dunne also gets a huge whack of EU farm payments on the family farm.

    Depressing after the great work the EAC did in last two parliaments. I’m backing , who is a genuine environmentalist, particularly on marine (fellow scuba diver), conservation/ wildlife, and waste.

    Dunne is standing against Matthew Offord. who identifies as a Green Conservative. . For some reason is supporting Dunne 🤔 The EAC chair will have a significant influence over UK envt legislation as Brexit proceeds to eviscerate EU env law.

    Interesting thread. Many who suddenly worry about rape prosecutions never uttered a squeak about it before leadership elections! Feminism is for life not just for leadership elections (nb sudden converts to need for woman leader!)

    I am no or , but it is, as a lawyer, frustrating to constantly hear people misrepresenting clear facts about our criminal justice system & work done. Here is a short thread about the actual work (vs myths) done by Kier Starmer whilst at the DPP ...

    The Government’s efforts to reach climate targets here in the UK count for virtually nothing if they’re spending £billions of UK taxpayers money on funding fossil fuel projects around the world, locking other countries into high carbon dependency for decades to come.

    An investigation by & has shown the UK spends billions funding fossilfuels around the world, generating 69m tonnes of C02 - more than the state of Portugal describes it as "ludicrous"

    Remember when Bill Clinton spoke at labour conference and his first words were “conference, Bill Clinton, Arkansas South CLP” and we all passed out with the lols. Those were the days.

    This is true. 👍

    Bristol East CLP nominates: • Keir Starmer to be leader of the Labour Party • Angela Rayner to be deputy leader of the Labour Party This CLP nominated Andy Burnham in 2015 and Jeremy Corbyn in 2016.

    Sorry I can’t be there today Samet, but hope listens to all these people, quarter of a million and rising, and does the decent thing.

    Please listen to the quarter of a million plus people who, like me stand with hard working trainee carpenter Samet to stay here as he delivers his petition with his brilliant foster dad to the today.

    📺 WATCH: As Bristol's only non-vegan MP(!), I welcome the positive impact has on our national debate around food. It's vital that we work to make healthy food more affordable and change our eating habits and farming practices to make them more sustainable.

    A really good summary from Rob - and welcome to ! (My understanding of his LGBT+ response was that he wants the UK to do more to support people in countries with oppressive laws, thinks we have a moral responsibility to do so).

    I saw talk in Bristol East yesterday at the invitation of . I wrote a summary of it:

    Great meeting, thanks to the hundreds of people who turned out to hear . Before this we took him to see our new biogas buses, powered, somewhat bizarrely, by food waste from Croydon - he took to bus driving like a natural, and there’s a job there if he wants one!
