Dawn Butler backs a 'Bolder, Fairer Climate Plan' at Portcullis House meeting with Brent FoE

 
 
 From Brent Friends of the Earth

Brent East MP, Dawn Butler,  met with five members of Brent Friends of the Earth at Portcullis House, Westminster, on March 31st 2025, to discuss Friends of the Earth's campaign for a Bolder, Fairer Climate plan, as well as no new North Sea Oil drilling at Rosebank/Jackdaw, and our opposition to airport expansion.

 

Dawn listened carefully and agreed with our points. A summary of what we told her can be found here. Dawn was happy to have her picture taken with our poster calling for a Bolder, Fairer Climate Plan. She told us that she also opposed Heathrow expansion, and would look at the FoE research documents which we left with her. We also gave her petition cards we had collected at public events, signed by constituents supporting FoE's call.

 

Brent West MP Barry Gardiner is due to speak to our meeting in May, and we hope to meet with Georgia Gould MP at some point.

We should have learnt from the energy crisis that not drilling for our own oil, and beinf sustainable, means we are reliant on global markets and funding abusers like Putin. It’s ethical to drill, to keep pensioners warm.

Labour Climate plan? What a joke.

Labour are allowing more flights from London City Airport, Luton Airport and Southend Airport.

And they will no doubt give Gatwick and Heathrow both permission to expand also.

Any impact Ulez had on pollution will be obliterated by all these extra flights 😞
