At this unprecedented moment, the government must consider all possible interventions, including nationalisation, to phase out the extraction of fossil fuels and transition to renewables, says CLAUDIA WEBBE MP

THE past week has seen a surge of climate activism, which includes organisations like Extinction Rebellion resuming their unique brand of protest by urging MPs to back the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill. 

I commend everyone who is peacefully protesting to save our planet. 

I am proud to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill, which as a Presentation Bill does not involve a debate or a vote in Parliament, but is an important way of drawing attention to an issue that requires a change in the law.
