"Water Companies have a job to do and if they fail to do it, then we put them into Special Administration." Regular dumping of sewage is a failure. Ecoli in the drinking water is failure. Tourism industry damaged by polluted beaches is a failure.

Jenny's amendment 99 to Water Bill.

Water companies already have 12,000 criminal convictions.

If that doesn’t meet the bar for “not fit to operate”, what does?

Bulldozers over bats and beavers — that’s this government’s choice.

Labour talks green, but their actions don't. Nature deserves better.

Part 3 of the Planning Bill weakens protections for nature and hands power to developers.

I signed 38 Tory amendments to stop it — and they still backed down. That’s not opposition. That’s cowardice.

Statues of Gandhi remind us that protest is a part of a healthy democracy — so why is the state putting peaceful protesters behind bars?

We must reclaim our right to protest.

Put forward a practical set of ideas (thank you Manchester University) on new developments recovering and using storm water and saving money on bills. Labour rejected, but lots of votes from Lib Dems, crossbench and even some Tories.

Labour ignoring good ideas

“The government wants to let developers do what they like — and we all lose out.”

Part 3 of the Planning Bill must be stopped.

Today the House of Lords votes on the government amendment that would let ministers overrule local planning decision.

Labour are backing it – Greens are voting against it, because local democracy matters.

Labour is proving even more authoritarian than the Tories.

The decision to proscribe Palestine Action is an attack on dissent and democracy itself.

When a government criminalises protest, it exposes its own complicity.

How can this government be so heartless as to deny families the right to be together?

Allowing the right wing to blame asylum seekers for housing shortages or NHS pressures is cowardly.

Time to show some backbone — and some basic humanity.

Delighted my amendment to the Bus Services Bill was accepted.

This is the first step towards better buses for rural areas, cutting isolation, pollution and car dependency.

Progress that pays off in every way.

Not only are the UK’s waters are home to a wealth of wildlife that is internationally important, they provide vital livelihoods to our coastal communities. Bottom Trawling wrecks those habitats. @GreenJennyJones co-authored.

Our seas are in crisis. Only 2 of 15 health targets are met — yet ministers reject protections. The government must ban destructive bottom-trawling now.

Approving a second runway at Gatwick in a climate emergency is madness.

The richest 1% take half the flights, yet Labour ignore the climate science and backs more aviation expansion.

Are Labour so anti-nature and pro-developer that they won't get builders to spend pennies to help swifts flourish.

Natalie Bennett @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social · Sep 17

Swifts are the long-distance athletes of the natural world – flying 5,500km only to find nowhere to nest here in Britain.
A tiny action could make all the difference. For swifts, it’s life or extinction.

Questioning Minister on 200+ peaceful protestors against what Israel is doing in Gaza, who were arrested under terrorism laws for alledgedly supporting Palestine Action. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social "Not appropriate for the Minister to stand here and say that it is none of his business."

More today on Lords Reform today and getting rid of hereditory peers @GreenJennyJones Greens have put a bill to have an elected chamber, with PR, every year since 2013. Current Labour Bill is too tame
