We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Esther McVey

• 17 Dec 2025: Tweet

  Rolls-Royce are looking to move their £1.6 trillion jet engine project & 40,000 top British jobs to America. The aerospace giant is being actively courted by politicians in Berlin & Washington. It comes as surging energy costs – blamed on Ed Miliband’s Net Zero drive – are making it harder to make money from manufacturing in Britain. Yet more proof Labour’s taxes, net zero fanaticism and new workers rights are damaging the UK now and into the future. [Source]

  Ed Miliband marches forward with his poverty inducing, fun removing, enjoyment destroying net zero policies - even when it has been abandoned by his EU climate change fanatic buddies. This cartoon made me smile ????- and sums it up very well. https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/2000519090784338396/photo/1 [Source]

  Asking Ed Miliband What commitments were secured at COP30 from the countries responsible for the highest amounts of carbon emissions - China, America & India - to reduce their emissions, given their leaders Xi, Trump and Modi couldn’t be bothered to attend? Or did those countries fail to commit to reducing their carbon emissions and to phase out their use of fossil fuels allowing instead the Secretary of State to walk his ideological path of net zero which is destroying the UK’s industrial [Source]

  Starmer has just re-committed the UK to Carbon reduction targets that will further impoverish people in the UK. We’ve already lost our primary steel making capability. Scotland has lost its only oil refinery & we are now set to lose our chemical industry. What Net Zero really means is deindustrialisation & dependency on China.???? https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2132117/keir-starmer-make-you-poorer [Source]

  Mad Miliband’s ideological fanaticism for net zero at any cost means Britain’s electricity operators are forced to pay compensation when the turbines have to be switched off. Incredibly that means bill payers forked out a record £1bn this year to switch them off. No wonder energy bills are so high. Can’t we switch off Miliband instead & save ourselves some money?

  It has become common place for Labour Ministers to not even try to answer the questions put to them - and Starmer sets the tone by being one of the worst for it every week. So today I raised Ed Miliband’s non-answer to my question on net zero with the Deputy Speaker….. https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1944870087984398801/video/1 [Source]

• 14 Jul 2025: Tweet

  What a disgrace. Ed Miliband came to the House to do a Statement about how vital it was to get to net zero- but when I asked him 3 simple questions, the cost, who’s paying for it & if the UK got to net zero how much it would reduce global temperatures, he couldn’t answer. https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1944868577347297452/video/1 [Source]

• 13 Jul 2025: Tweet

  What a bunch of buffoons! Labour’s so desperate to hit its bonkers net zero targets that next week it will announce £700m of taxpayers money to subsidise the purchase of electric cars! To help pay for it Labour’s introducing a farm tax to collect £500m destroying British farming https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1944321032359199049/photo/1 [Source]

• 01 May 2025: Tweet

  Oh no … rumour has it these 2 have joined forces to save net zero - Angela Rayner is said to be banning gas boilers in new homes as soon as next year to help keep Ed Miliband’s net zero fantasies alive! https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1918047135032889488/photo/1 [Source]

• 01 May 2025: Tweet

  The incoming boss of National Grid has raised concerns about the pace of net zero saying oil & gas has a crucial role to play in the energy system for decades to come - plus you can’t dismantle the current system faster than you can build a future one. Ed Miliband’s time is up! [Source]

• 30 Apr 2025: Tweet

  Blair’s intervention on net zero is hugely significant,as is the timing,just before Labour gets a battering at the local elections Whatever you think of Blair he’s a skilful politician & knows a dud policy when he sees one Sadly this Labour govt is a dud & wedded to this policy [Source]

  Net zero blamed for blackout chaos. https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1916985215521853945/photo/1 [Source]

• 08 Apr 2025: Tweet

  Could Trump’s tariffs become the unlikely catalyst to shake off the UK’s economic stagnation - should Keir Starmer use the opportunity to ditch Net Zero? Unfortunately the stiff human rights lawyer has the entrepreneurial skills of a gnat ???? https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2038362/keir-starmer-change-gamechanger [Source]

• 08 Apr 2025: Tweet

  Ridding ourselves of Net Zero targets would go some way to shielding UK businesses from the fallout of Trump’s tariffs & allow British businesses to be competitive again. Unfortunately Starmer doesn’t have what it takes to do this ???? https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2038362/keir-starmer-change-gamechanger [Source]

• 08 Apr 2025: Tweet

  As the world struggles to deal with the extra costs of President Trump’s tariffs, Keir Starmer should seize this moment and rid the UK of its debilitating Net Zero targets. This would be an absolute game-changer for the economy. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2038362/keir-starmer-change-gamechanger [Source]

• 23 Jan 2025: Tweet

  With Trump’s decisive victory, is Net Zero zealotry over? Not on this show! There are 2 questions Net Zero fanatics can never answer: 1) if the UK hit net zero by how much would global temperatures reduce & 2) how much wld it cost the UK to reach Net Zero Still awaiting answers.. https://x.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1882528352604758363/video/1 [Source]

• 02 Jan 2025: Tweet

  Labour’s energy policy is a mess. They promised to cut energy bills but are delivering the opposite We need energy security &affordability not NetZero zealotry Instead of making the UK too dependent on expensive imports& renewables we must exploit our resources in the North Sea [Source]

• 04 Oct 2024: Tweet

  Putting Miliband & power together was always a bad idea. Yet Starmer has made this man the Minister for Power. A man so obsessed with net zero, he is prepared to risk blackouts and bankrupting the country to pursue his ideological student politics. https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1957028/ed-miliband-uk-power-energy [Source]

  Pull the other one Labour!Of course you knew the state of the country’s finances all provided by OBR. Truth is Labour were always planning massive tax hikes to pay for pet projects like hiking up overseas aid, buckling to their union paymasters’ demands &their net zero fanaticism https://twitter.com/EstherMcVey1/status/1817853083893829813/photo/1 [Source]

  Sir Flip Flop Starmer strikes again Telling journalists he’s keeping his £28bn Green energy splurge without any plan as to how he’d pay for it Meanwhile behind the scenes Labour sources are briefing that it is being ditched A new low even for Starmer More flop than flip-flop https://twitter.com/ed_miliband/status/1667079092712226817 [Source]

  I can't be the only one enjoying the screeching U-turns politicians are making over Net Zero. Many of us have been raising the alarm over its timetable and estimated trillion-pound-plus cost for a while. https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1798426/net-zero-ulez-rishi-sunak-economy-u-turn-esther-mcvey [Source]

  The mad rush for Net Zero, when we have neither the technology nor the infrastructure to deliver it – and we certainly don’t have anything like the huge sum of money it will cost – is lunacy… full story ???????? https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1753062/net-zero-environment/amp [Source]

  Join the Net Zero Debate Judge orders quango to back up its claim of the cost of only 1-2% of GDP - data, models, calculations need to be released Very striking that those who want to bring forward the date of net zero are always coy about the total cost to the public. https://twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/1423986028784852999 [Source]
