📢 Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 on #BBCAQ: “I’m very pleased to say that it’s a Liberal Democrats MP that’s now championing the Climate and Nature Bill as a private member’s bill—and I hope very much that the Government gets behind @DrRozSavageMP and the #CANBill.” MP Watch @mpwatch.bsky.social bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
