No polluter should be let off the hook for polluting our rivers, lakes and loughs.

As #COP30 gets going in Belém, Prince William & PM should be commended for their leadership, in contrast to the reckless climate denial of the US President, and some local politicians.
I will continue to champion our climate and the benefits that come from action. #EastAntrim

My turn to do the office cleaning today 😃
