  Absolutely great to see the wildflowers coming back into bloom at St Chad's on my walk into town this morning. More great work from @lichfield_cc providing a great view, a habitat and food for those all important pollinators and doing our bit on climate change. https://twitter.com/DaveR_Lichfield/status/1789977241545306404/photo/1 [Source]

  More soap opera from the withered hump of what used to be a Tory party. More concerned about arguing and gesturing to their own right wing than actually governing Meanwhile the rest of us have to live through a cost of living crisis, NHS crisis, housing crisis, climate crisis... https://twitter.com/SuellaBraverman/status/1724465401982070914 [Source]

  Couldn't make it up - on the same night that the PM has thrown in the towel and capitulated to the climate sceptics and short sighted. I've just got down to @Lichfield_DC for a Climate Change Task group https://twitter.com/DaveR_Lichfield/status/1704538011063431665/video/1 [Source]

  This is great from @LichfieldRe_Cyc. Encouraging people to use more active transport will improve air quality combat climate change and tackle obesity all at once. I'm proud that @lichfield_cc has been able to provide funding for the event. https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2023/08/15/lichfield-cycling-group-offering-free-bike-checks-for-students-ahead-of-return-to-school/ [Source]

  Buses are a real lifeline and especially in areas like our District. Getting public transport right is essential to building a fairer country, fighting climate change and making sure everyone benefits from economic growth. It's time to put buses back in the hands of local people. https://twitter.com/LouHaigh/status/1626533973919760389 [Source]

  "More of the same" Sunak "I signed (bad) trade deals, you can trust me" Truss "I'll do it differently, but not gonna say how" Mordaunt "Ignore climate change, save money" Badenoch "Didn't you know I was in the army?" Tugendhat I am not optimistic about the next PM [Source]

  I wonder if anyone has thought to try and find a link between the high temperatures this week and the rampant cost of energy at the moment????? Both are functions of the same problem: fossil fuel use. We can only solve the long term issues here by decarbonising the economy [Source]

  My contribution for #NationalMeadowsDay. There is no way to fight climate change without protecting biodiversity - and one way to do that is by turning our lawns back into meadows. They also look class https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1543280269398007809/photo/1 [Source]

  Great to be out on the #LabourDoorstep this evening talking to people about plans to improve open spaces and tackle climate change. Any suggestion that the Sun was in my eyes for this photo is....true https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1525189485872435202/photo/1 [Source]

• 09 May 2022: Tweet

  This is a welcome step to solving the #BlueBagBallsUp but given that Cllr Yeates was also the (failing) cabinet member for climate change, and Cllr Little won't be taking this role on - who will be responsible for making sure LDC acts on the climate emergency @Douglas_Pullen? https://twitter.com/LichfieldLive/status/1523667662622142464 [Source]

  Great to see @lichfield_cc following through and delivering @UKLabour's plan for cycle parking in Lichfield! Encouraging people to use active transport is essential to tackling climate change and giving people places to safely leave their bikes is an important part of this. https://twitter.com/LichfieldRe_Cyc/status/1497145389526433792 [Source]

  Over two years now since Lichfield District Council declared a climate emergency - and the Conservative leadership *still* haven't put together a plan to do anything about it https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1478441088675418112/photo/1 [Source]

  Thanks to all the volunteers (including the camera shy!) who came out to help plant 200 bluebells, 200 snowdrops and a pear tree this morning. Really important that good words on climate change are followed by actions. #CarbonCapture #Biodiversity #ClimateCrisis #Lichfield https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1457343465617043465/photo/1 [Source]

  I wonder if LDC will have actually published a climate action plan by then - 690 days since we declared a climate emergency. ???????? I won't be holding my breath. https://twitter.com/LichfieldLive/status/1452925546321563652 [Source]

  3) Continue to ignore global economic drivers by: - having no plan to increase inward investment or productivity - ignoring the escalating climate crisis - signing trade deals which undermine British farming standards [Source]

  Some good news for everyone's Friday - big reductions in the carbon footprint of @lichfield_cc street lighting #CarbonFootprint #LED #ClimateEmergency #Lichfield https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1370333699489853442/photo/1 [Source]

  That was a busy Council meeting! Pressing for scrutiny of a £100k budget and action on the gender pay gap, supporting movement to fix #Friarsgate, seconding a motion to help combat climate change and, speaking in favour of blended meetings in future. Now ... time for food. [Source]

  @lowcarbonlich @StevenGNorman @ashleyyeates @DarrenEnnis @hawthornesbiz @LizClements @Sue_Woodward @paul_flanagan @CllrRichardECox Really important to act on the climate emergency and soon. I'm looking forward to working with Transition Lichfield ovet the next month to encourage carbon sequestration from the atmosphere. #SmallStepsCanMakeBigWaves [Source]

  Great to be able to pop down to the 'bund' earlier to help Lichfield City Council plant up the area to make it more attractive, to create a habitat for wildlife and help tackle climate change. #LoveLocal #Volunteering #Lichfield #Netherstowe #planting #CarbonCapture https://twitter.com/David_train/status/1296484447160799232/photo/1 [Source]

  @RuthDreumel My main focus as an MP will be: Investment in the green economy to tackle climate change. A £10 living wage for all, immediately. Proper funding for local councils and public services like the NHS. Reverses to policing cuts. Ensuring everyone has a safe and affordable home. [Source]

  I've taken @friends_earth's #ClimateActionPledge. If elected I'll put the climate first when I vote in parliament. We're in a #ClimateEmergency and must rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions for a greener and fairer society. #ClimateElection https://twitter.com/friends_earth/status/1194987106201952257/photo/1 [Source]

  Current debate at #Lichfield City Council: Opposition parties suggesting we declare a climate emergency, Tories arguing against it on the basis that we did something environmental in the past. Not sure I understand the thinking #ClimateEmergency [Source]
