👎🏻 Folks I have some disappointing news. The Lib Dem Federal Conference Committee has decided my right to safe air emergency motion doesn’t qualify to enter the EM ballot at Lib Dem Conference this weekend 😢

The motion was highly commended for the quality of its drafting and content - and I’ve received really encouraging feedback, especially from the party’s Health team. However, it ultimately fell because the motion did not address an issue that had arisen unexpectedly.

🚨 IMPORTANT: this particular battle has been lost but the war isn’t over! I’m disappointed the motion won’t get a hearing at conference, but point 2 of my motion is still achievable even without it becoming party policy👇 3/
70 years since the #airpollution event that kickstarted the way we govern this challenge today (The Great Smog). In honor of this anniversary, I wanted to clarify a few points about this particular historic event “shifted understandings of air pollution”. A thread.. 1/6
People knew, as they know now, that #airpollution is bad - this is well documented in academic & literary works. The challenge is rather the capacity to do something about it, through regulation & sharing info about how we can protect ourselves tinyurl.com/4zezmdnp @UKHSA 2/6
Regulating pollution via UK, US or EU legal systems, at the expense or trade off of commercial production & activities, requires strong evidence of human health effects. Sadly, this means policy often isn’t strengthened until we experience deaths (like during The Great Smog) 3/5

#EllasLaw | Second reading of @GreenJennyJones's #CleanAirHRBill in @UKHouseofLords from 10am Friday 8 July HT @EllaRobertaFdn. It's about the #HumanRight to #CleanAir and meeting new @WHO guidelines asap. Follow this thread for live updates. Details here: cleanair.london/ellaslaw/
#EllasLaw | Ella Roberta Adoo Kissi-Debrah died tragically - aged nine - on 15 February 2013. #AirPollution was listed as one of the medical causes of death after a long campaign by her mother @EllaRobertaFdn won a second inquest cleanair.london/hot-topics/ell…
#EllasLaw | Coroner's 'Report to Prevent Future Deaths' said:
"@WHO guidelines should be seen as minimum requirements. Legally binding targets based on @WHO guidelines would reduce the number of deaths from air pollution in the UK"
@GreenJennyJones' #CleanAirHRBill does it!
