Climate change protesters gathered at different sites across London as part of Extinction Rebellion demonstrations
"We are witnessing an unprecedented upsurge of climate activism with groups like Extinction Rebellion forcing the politicians in this building to listen. For all the dismissive and defensive column inches the protests have provoked, they are a massive and necessary wake up call.Mr Corbyn will claim:"Parliament rarely leads change, it usually drags its feet. Think about the huge transformations to our society: workers' rights, women's rights, gay rights.
"Earlier this year, the first global scientific review of its kind found that insects could become extinct within a century unless action is taken. Insects pollinate plants and keep the soil healthy. Without pollination and healthy soil, there is no food and without food, there are no humans.
Political points scoring by Corbyn
Platitudes mean nothing unless major change is proposed . I am deeply suspicious of Labour's comitment .
🤔🤔 so yesterday where were you Corbyn and all your colleagues, actually your whole party while a ten minute rule bill on zero emissions was introduced and discussed..
Corbyn would back Ed the talking horse if he thought it would make him less unpopular. 🙄 🏇
Doesn’t this go against his principles. These nut jobs are posh folks who are too lazy to get a job and sponge off daddy. Exactly what Corbyn hates
A socialist backing a movement promoting socialist policies disguised as 'climate change' activism, did anyone not see this coming?
What range of empty promises will he offer these I wonder and will they take president over writing off student debt, renationalising and bankrupting Britain. This guy is funny, highly dangerous but funny
and when taxes get raised due to the national emergency these same people will scream 'THE EVIL TORIES ARE TRYING TO TAX PEOPLE TO DEATH!'
He’d back the devil to get one extra vote! nomorals
For once I do agree with corbyn something has to be done and soon
It’s a stupid cause, it’s evolution, the climate is constantly changing, it’s on a loop ! Remember it was once an ice age & the earth came out of ice age, global warming yet there was no man to blame !! How you gonna fix global warming corbyn.
It's all about No10 for that clown. He's using XR for political gain and nothing else. He doesn't give two hoots about climate change unless it helps him get into power.
Although when XR were chained to his house railing on his house last week he strolled passed them into his waiting car without so much as a hello, a look, a good morning or a fk off. Totally ignored them yet today he’s ‘with them’ for their emergency cause ! Laughable (both)
Dumb move.
Good, we all need to get on board or we’re all fcked
Corbyn backs weather fanatics? Look people, there are four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In the spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, the summer is hot, autumn is cool and winter is cold. Get it? Got it? Good.
..... Just as he celebrated the opening of a new deep coal mine in Cumbria under a Labour controlled council.
Think Corbyn himself is a sample of climate that change very rapidly!
That's that campaign doomed if the grizzled old Trot is jumping on it
