It was great to talk with such engaged students about the work of the Lords, climate politics and environmental protection Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee

Eating disorders are often thought to be rare mental health conditions, but this new report by NHS England Digital shows they are far more common than people realise.

Good to see the work of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee acknowledged in leading to this 👍decision

Climate experts Jim Skea Ed Hawkins Dr Helen Adams came to talk in Parliament. Full room + great Qs chaired by Barry Gardiner + guest Kate Parminter. Feedback from one MP: 'I took away some homework from the meeting to read...We really do need more scientists in public life!'

Some fabulous Lib Dem Women who I am proud to call friends all speaking about nature crisis. Huge thanks to the fabulous Kate Parminter for proposing it (no pic as I was waiting to speak!) and campaigning for so long on environmental issues #LDConf #DoubleNature #ThereIsNoPlanetB

This #Election24 piece by Prof Alison Anderson (@PlymUni) explores how the education system can help to fight the #climatecrisis . She argues there is widespread support from teachers & students for embedding climate change & sustainability across the curriculum.

Delighted to speak on the benefits of the libdem offer of an additional £1 billion for the ELM budget.

We will not get high quality food, nature and landscapes on the cheap.

We all deserve a Fair Deal; farmers, consumers, children and the planet.

Yesterday the Chair, Kate Parminter, wrote to Secretary of State for Transport, Mark Harper, to ask about how the delay to the phase-out of petrol and diesel vehicles will impact the UK's ability to meet net zero by 2050 and the Government's plans to introduce a ZEV mandate.

Lastly, here is what the Committee’s chair, Baroness Parminter, said: [5/5]

Listen to what Committee member Baroness Young of Old Scone said here: [4/5]

Several Committee members spoke on the floor of the House about the Government’s decision to delay phase-out dates for petrol and diesel vehicles and gas boilers. Committee member Baroness Boycott said: (3/5)

The House of Commons had already risen for conference recess when the announcements were made yesterday afternoon, but the House of Lords was still sitting, and a private notice question was put to the Government on the matter. (2/5)

Yesterday morning, the Committee discussed the Prime Minister’s forthcoming announcements about net zero policy changes, particularly in relation to the phase-out dates for electric cars in the light of our ongoing inquiry (1/5)

Policy certainty, consistency & Govt leadership is what people need to help them choose low-carbon products & services. The PM has chosen to kick the can down the road rather than pick it up and put it in the recycling bin. Net zero goals are in doubt #NetZero #RishiSunak
