I'm fond of Miatta but this isn't good.

The Labour Party is forcing her to back policies she clearly does not support.

We don't do that in the Greens. I'm never asked to lie. When someone asks me a question, I tell them what I think.
Today I made what was meant to be a light-hearted self-deprecating remark. I didn’t get it right and it hasn’t come off as I intended.

I fully support our Home Secretary and the government’s position on migration reform.

As I said earlier this week, it’s absolutely right that people should have to make a contribution to this country in order to earn citizenship.

What changed @Miatsf ?

If it was wrong when you were trying to get elected. It's wrong when you're in power.
In the middle of an energy crisis, homegrown gas has a role to play in our energy security as we transition to net zero.

We’ll also invest North Sea revenues in renewables and other low-carbon projects.

My interview on @SkyNews this morning on the decision to approve Jackdaw.

The people of Peckham did not vote for, and will not benefit from, new oil and gas drilling.

Before her election, Labour MP Miatta Fahnbulleh repeatedly opposed new oil and gas.

Now in power, it looks like she'll approve it.

Peckham deserves better.
