Historic moment as @GreenJennyJones Clean Air (Human Right) Bill passes the House of Lords. A Conservative MP sponsored the private members bill that government enacted in 1956. If this govt doesn't act then hope other parties include #EllasLaw in their manifestos.

#ULEZExpansion The polluter pays. When they stop polluting, they stop paying. It's a win-win. "When people are breathing in polluted air, doing nothing about cleaning it up means that people will die prematurely." @GreenJennyJones

It’s Ulez day, and to those who would thwart it I say: people are dying, this will save lives |...

It’s time to remember why this move is practical, popular and essential, says Jenny Jones, a Green party peer and former deputy mayor of London

Today in the Lords @GreenJennyJones and @natalieben will back a fatal motion to stop Voter ID being part of the elections this May. This is voter suppression aimed at making it harder for some people to vote - mostly those who don't vote Conservative. @BBCr4today

@BBCNews The rebellion was actually led by @GreenJennyJones with the help of independent journalists and campaigners on social media, who convinced Labour and others to reject the polluters charter outright. Great work everyone

"If you..." @GreenJennyJones lists the draconian actions "All a ploy to turn all the cards in favour of an unaccountable government that can't be challenged in the courts, can't be challenge at the ballot box and can't be challenged on the streets. We have to unite against it."

When will the government apologise for creating an asylum seeker backlog by ending safe routes from most countries. And also, for turning refugees, who've experienced the most horrendous conditions, into a right wing trope and hate figures? @GreenJennyJones Telling it as it is.

11 billion pounds of UK subsidy going to Drax to burn forests in Canada. Panorama Programe showed this in October, but 7 months later the government is still looking into it. @GreenJennyJones Use this money for solar panels, or insulation, instead.
