Greenpeace today expressed strong support for Islington MP Emily Thornberry, one of very few MPs prepared to stand up for our seas. An Islington Tribune article supports some bizarre accusations, made on separate occasions by the SNP and Liberal Democrats, following a speech by Ms Thornberry at the Commons fisheries debate last year, that because Islington is not by the sea, she has no right to defend our oceans.

The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone believes there is an alternative to nuclear power

If you travel on the London underground, you may be seeing a lot more of nuclear waste over the next few weeks than you've been used to. We've joined The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone in launching a poster campaign to tell Londoners about the alternative to the new nuclear power stations Tony Blair wants to build - and inviting them to join the debate on our energy future.

Brian Baring a traditional landowner from Papua New Guinea by Nelsons Column where illegal timber was used during renovations

Whatever you may think of his political credentials, as Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has been pushing to make the metropolis a greener city. His plans for a low-energy London have shown just how far behind central government are in terms of planning for a sustainable future, and the Greater London Authority (GLA) ensures that all timber used in their building projects is from sources approved by the Forest Stewardship Council.

London Mayor Ken Livingstone

It's the capital of the UK, the biggest energy demand centre in the country and the largest city in Europe. And it can slash its CO2emissions, gas consumption and reliance on fossil fuels without nuclear power.

This report is a response to the government's Energy Review. It does not seek to provide all the answers to the many questions that this review poses, but it does demonstrate that there is at least one viable set of options for achieving the government's key goals of CO2 emission reductions, a secure energy supply, economic growth, and alleviation of fuel poverty - without the need for a new generation of nuclear power stations.
