🟠EXCL: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to moderate Green Party members encouraging them to join their ranks if they care about the environment.
The letter is a pitch to those who feel nature and climate has slipped down the Green's agenda following the Zionism is racism row, telling them they "have a home" within the Liberal Democrats.
The policy has sparked an internal fallout with some of the Green's longstanding members warning the hard left has gained too much influence within the party and the Greens should return to focusing on its core values of the environment and cost of living.
The Lib Dems are seeking to exploit those divisions as the Cop31 Climate summit gets underway in Antayla.
The letter, by their Energy Security and Net Zero Spokesperson Pippa Heylings MP, says Cop summits "can stir a familiar mix of hope and frustration".
It adds: "On behalf of the Liberal Democrats and as someone who shares that hope, I want to write to you today to say something simple: if nature and climate are why you got into politics, you have a home with us."

“Three hours of support per year, per SEND child. It’s farcical.”
The Government must protect SEND children’s rights, tackle local authority misconduct and properly fund support.

NEW: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to Green members who are unhappy with the direction of the party, encouraging them to defect.
The letter is aimed at those members who feel nature and climate change has slipped down their party’s priorities and says “you have a home with us”.

The PM sat down for cancer charities on Gogglebox. On Friday, will he stand up for cancer patients in Parliament?
My Cancer Bill has the backing of 60+ cancer charities and medical bodies. I've written to the Prime Minister urging him to support it too.

Being English is not defined by skin colour.
But the census says the only English ethnicity is "White English". Josh Babarinde has proposed a law to change that.
The colour of someone's skin should never determine whether they belong here or how far they can go.
As world leaders gather for COP31, Pippa Heylings has written an open letter to Green Party members who want to put climate action and nature protection first.
“If climate and nature are why you got into politics, you have a home with us,” writes @pippaheylings
Did you catch that?
Andy Burnham just ruled out joining the single market which would boost the growth we desperately need.
The Lib Dems are the only party with a plan for growth with Europe at its heart.

"Our politics is being affected by poisonous ideas like the idea that people born and raised in England can't be English because they're not white"
Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asks if PM backs calls to add more ethnicity options to the census

Ed Davey asks PM if he will "grow the economy by joining the single market"
Andy Burnham says "no is the answer to that today" but "we are honouring our manifesto to have deeper ties" with Europe

This Remembrance Day, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We must never forget them, nor can we forget the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.

Planning to slash the capital budget for the maintenance of the prison estate whilst promising thousands more cells is either dishonest or delusional.
The Government must get a grip on this issue or victims will be put through the wringer once more.
The Government's own figures show our prisons are running on fumes, with barely a thousand spare places and no margin for error.
Victims and their families have already been put through months of chaos and uncertainty by this Government's early release schemes. They deserve to know that the sentence handed down in court is the sentence that will be served.
The Justice Secretary must look victims in the eye and rule out another early release scheme.
WATCH: @JoshBabarinde gives his St. George’s Bill to Parliament
“There are too many people who are not working who should be supported into work.”
The Conservatives’ Brexit deal has held back jobs and growth.
@LisaSmartMP calls for more support to get people into work and closer ties with Europe.
New data shows the prison system is still on the brink, with just 1% spare capacity projected.
Early release hasn’t solved the crisis. It’s merely delayed it.

Andy Burnham must publish a plan to fix Britain’s broken water sector by the end of the year.
Or the Prime Minister must come to the dispatch box in Parliament and explain why Labour has achieved so little to tackle the crisis.
