This is the Guardian.

Caroline Lucas.

Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker.

The failure to act with sufficient ambition to avert the climate

catastrophe would be the greatest moral failure of our time.

Caroline Lucas was, until very recently, a Green Party MP representing Brighton Pavilion, alongside

two stints as the party leader.

As the Green MP for Brighton, I think I could put Brighton on the map as the greenest place

in the country.

Please do join us, be part of this movement for change, be part of making history, please join the party and together we will elect the first

Green MP.

The White Pavilion. Caroline Lucas has achieved what the Green Party has been focused on for months and months.

Here in the UK, she's a household name.

For the last 14 years, she's battled to get green issues taken seriously by government as her party's first and so far only

member of parliament.

We need to be serious that a climate emergency isn't a matter of a few words and then we move

on with business as usual.

Business as usual is climate appeasement. We need change.

Last year Caroline announced that she wouldn't seek re-election. But as the UK prepares to vote for a new government,

her party is hoping to finally increase its share of MPs and use their presence to continue her work ensuring the environment isn't put to the bottom of the pile of government priorities.

Where is the urgency from ministers? Will he now cut the crack will he commit to strengthening

the government's plan and bring our failing system back into public hands where it belongs.
