Just in case you'd missed the benefits of Brexit, Tim Stanley has a list.

.Alok Sharma said that 'continuing to issue oil and gas licences was incompatible with the UK’s legally binding net zero target. And, he said, Sunak should beef up his windfall tax on oil giants, calling for rebates only to companies that invest in renewables.'

Downing Street insists the PM remained 'absolutely committed' to supporting the climate conference. This is a funny way of showing it. #COP27

I’m really pleased to see this, congratulations Rebecca Pow

The govt has missed its own deadline to set legally binding targets for nature, water, air & waste.

Key legal mechanisms cannot be put on the back burner.

Ministers need to publish a clear plan for a set of ambitious targets *as soon as possible*

Shell made record profits & paid NO tax in the UK this year.
In fact, the UK government paid Shell a tax rebate.
With a fiscal black hole to close, the case for oil and gas tax reform pretty much writes itself at this point. Matching Norway's tax rate would be a good 1st step👇

Congratulations to Huw Merriman MP on becoming minister of state in the department for transport, a great appointment.

Nearly one year ago, countries came together at #COP26 to forge the #GlasgowClimatePact .

We can't afford to delay action to keep 1.5°C alive.

At #COP27 , the promises made in Glasgow must be promises kept.

The climate crisis can’t be put in its own silo, it relates to everything we do. If we don’t get it right, it’ll be 100x harder to tackle all our domestic problems. Caroline Lucas is right. #COP27

Good to read there's diminishing 'zeal' for rapid scrapping of retained EU laws. Has always been a fool's errand w/ vital protections put at risk

But the unwieldy & undeliverable timetable is one of many problems with this bill

The bill must be scrapped. ft.com/content/ec7142…

Congratulations to Mark Spencer, we at Green Alliance look forward to working with you to intensify farming reform - absolutely vital to restore nature, meet our climate targets & provide long term security for England's farmers.

Well done Rishi Sunak for reinstating the ban on fracking.

Good to hear new PM Rishi Sunak make very clear commitment to delivering the #EnvironmentAct at #PMQs in response to Caroline Lucas
We look forward to helping ensure the words turn into meaningful success across the UK for nature, people & society. Woodland Trust🌳 Shaun Spiers

Rishi Sunak should bin the Retained EU Law Bill.

'This bill could sweep away more than 2,000 laws that protect the environment and safeguard workers’ rights, consumer safety and animal welfare.'
