Say no to Rosebank oil field Take action now!

The UK government is deciding whether to approve the Rosebank oil field – the largest undeveloped oil field in the UK. If it goes ahead, it would be a climate disaster.

Ask your MP to attend my drop-in for Clean Water Thousands of letters have already been sent to MPs asking them to attend Clive Lewis' Water Bill’s debate on 28th March. We’ve successfully put it on their radar, but too few so far are willing to ...

Public ownership of water isn’t just popularβ€”it’s common sense.

MPs must take bold action on the sewage crisis. Ask yours to attend @labourlewis.bsky.social’s Clean Water drop-in on 18th March and show their support.

Average water bill in England and Wales to rise by 36% over five years Firms accused of forcing households to pay for years of underinvestment after Ofwat agrees to increases to help fix sector

This is a failure of democracy.

82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision.

Now we’re stuck bailing water companies out for decades of recklessness.

We need a new water system where everyone has a say.
