The next Parliament could be a turning point for Britain's rivers, one of the Green Party's newly elected MPs has said

The Greens will be a “small but mighty” voice for climate and nature in the next Parliament, one of the party’s newly elected MPs has said.

Ellie Chowns, the MP for North Herefordshire, said the Greens will be an “independent bold, brave voice” that will hold Labour to account on its climate pledges.

She also said the party will, alongside the newly elected Liberal Democrat MPs, pressure Sir Keir Starmer’s Government to take urgent action on the sewage scandal and the dire state of Britain’s rivers.
