I went with Mohamed our Kenyan marcher and Lisa from the Christian Aid campaigns team to meet Patrick McLoughlin, MP for West Derbyshire and the first Conservative we have met.
We pressed him on our demands for changes to the climate bill, but he refused to commit to anything. As a member of the shadow cabinet he will "wait till we have discussed it and decide our collective decision". Whilst I was pressing him just to include aviation in the climate bill he said that "aviation needs to share in the emission reductions we make". That sounds good - first step is to include aviation in the bill then.
Distance covered so far: 513 miles
Distance to go: 487 miles - bring it on
