Our M.P.s back Climate Bill but...


Emily Thornberry, M.P. for Islington South, is a sponsor of a Climate Change bill, originally drafted by Friends of the Earth, requires the government to make year on year carbon dioxide emissions reductions totaling 60% by 2050. Emily recently met with David Miliband (Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and Jeremy Corbyn, M.P. for Islington North has also written to the government in strong support of the bill.

After three weeks of party conferences at which climate change has been given top priority, you would think the Government would be feeling the pressure to make things happen. Not at all. Neither of our Labour M.P.s has managed to move our intransigent government a single jot.
