#AirPollution | Evidence piles up for @commonseac.parliament.uk as it did for MPs exactly 70 years ago. We need to enshrine the human right to breathe #CleanAir in UK law and match EU standards on a pathway to WHO guidelines. #EllasLaw! HT @tobyperkinsmp.bsky.social @barrygardiner.bsky.social

No mention of MODERATE #AirPollution on Saturday (11/4/26) in @emmahardymp.bsky.social's written forecast despite today's map opposite. Shocking as thousands train for #LondonMarathon << Another Defra failure or cover-up?🤔 ps separately, see *measured* data from *earlier* this week

Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.
