• 18 Nov 2025: Tweet

  I share with many of you concerns that the proposed Calderdale Energy Park risks having a negative impact on the climate. If the turbines and infrastructure end up degrading the carbon absorbing peat on Walshaw Moore. I raised this issue with the department of energy and net zero ministers in the house of commons today. While I support green electricity, this must be evidence based and I will not support projects that risk having a negative carbon impact. [Source]

  We won’t reach net zero without doing more to use less energy. And that includes insulating our homes. Yesterday a national audit office report showed that 98% of homes insulated under the last government were faulty. I asked the minister if this government will do better! https://x.com/JoshFG/status/1978510733882057128/video/1 [Source]

• 13 Oct 2025: Tweet

  For several months now I’ve been working behind the scenes to get some clarification on the implications of what the new DEFRA guidelines on peat and climate change mean when it comes to planning considerations. This is particularly important with the current proposal for the Calderdale Wind Farm on Walshaw Moor. Today I asked the planning minister for further clarification in the House of Commons, we must make clear that renewable projects will only work in a system where we protect natures [Source]

• 12 Feb 2025: Tweet

  Yesterday I met with the @EnvAgency in Parliament to look at the updated flood maps including updated surface water flooding models and potential impacts of climate change. The climate is changing and to respond we must understand better its impact on our communities. https://x.com/JoshFG/status/1889644582507364628/photo/1 [Source]

• 27 Nov 2024: Tweet

  In Calder Valley this weekend we saw the very real face of climate change, nearly having serious floods. The opposition act like it's an inconvenience, not a threat to our communities. I asked @Ed_Miliband about warm homes following his statement on COP this week https://x.com/JoshFG/status/1861823889686306855/video/1 [Source]

  In Calder Valley this weekend we saw the very real face of Climate Change with near floods and extreme weather. The opposition act like it's an incontinence made up not a threat to our communities. I asked @Ed_Miliband about warm homes following his statement on COP this week. https://x.com/JoshFG/status/1861815361684808165/video/1 [Source]

  Today I asked my first question in the House of Commons on the importance of upgrading the national grid to tackling climate change. Using the work of @TogetherHG as an example https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1813920249668067712/video/1 [Source]

  From droughts in the Horn of Africa and wild fires in the US to floods in China and closer to home, the climate emergency is here and we need to act. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1744691169030705250 [Source]

• 11 Dec 2023: Tweet

  Calderdale’s climate action plan has been passed by cabinet. It’s ambitious & commits us to net 0 by 2038 with interim targets by 2030. The rain & flood alerts this week was a painful reminder we are on the front line of the climate emergency, I’m proud we’re active in response. https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1734242958323413200/photo/1 [Source]

• 21 Nov 2023: Tweet

  Scott’s support in this selection means so means so much to me. He’s an amazing councillor and well respected in his ward and further afield for his work on flooding, housing and climate change https://twitter.com/ScottAPatient/status/1726857720295272767 [Source]

• 20 Nov 2023: Tweet

  It’s hard to say more than I’ve already said about Scott, he’s a true leader on climate change https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1722190010470760920 [Source]

• 14 Oct 2023: Tweet

  Took my kids to the Hebden Bridge pumpkin festival. As my children get older they are much more interested in the messages around climate change which are the theme of the pumpkin trail. ????❤️ https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1713192831110553698/photo/1 [Source]

• 06 Oct 2023: Tweet

  He cancelled our trains, he scrapped net zero and told us about it by posing on a private jet. He holds us in contempt. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1710352494054826336 [Source]

• 13 Apr 2023: Tweet

  @aidanskinner I know. A few years ago the Lib Dem’s outflanked us on some climate emergency stuff because they wanted a fixed date for net 0 and we took the estimation that without clear government action on decommissioning drax we couldn’t with integrity claim our power would be renewable [Source]

  Tackling climate change is right and popular. https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1603467116937711617/photo/1 [Source]

  Labour need to talk about climate change more. We have good policies and the voters want to hear about them. https://twitter.com/SteveAkehurst/status/1603326077031571458 [Source]

• 09 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Great to hear Kate from the bookcase in Hebden Bridge talk about our towns flood defences on #R4Today. The government could do more to support businesses at risk. In this valley are at the front line in the climate emergency. We need a labour government to lead on the solution. [Source]

  Plastic pollution and climate change are different things. Plastic pollution and climate change are different things. Plastic pollution and climate change are different things. You’re an idiot https://twitter.com/EssexPR/status/1587394255592497153 [Source]

  It’s interesting that King Charles takes climate change so seriously he’s willing to take this unprecedented step to maintain our global leadership on it. https://twitter.com/tomwatson/status/1586743300635213829 [Source]

• 19 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Hello @CWhittaker_MP - the people of Calderdale are against fracking. The British people are against fracking. We flood because of climate change, we don’t want earthquakes because of the chase for fossil fuels too. https://twitter.com/KevinASchofield/status/1582668826549792768 [Source]

• 05 Oct 2022: Tweet

  Liz Truss’s speech: ????no mention of mortgages ????no plan for climate change ????no help for families in poverty ????no idea on social care ????silence on the pounds fall Economically illiterate happy talk to the Tory base. You don’t become a competent government by believing hard enough [Source]

• 03 Aug 2022: Tweet

  Just typical, as if COVID, Climate Change, fires, floods, the cost of living and Liz Truss aren’t enough to worry about… Zombie Pigs! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/03/restoration-of-pig-organs-after-heart-stopped-raises-hopes-for-transplants?CMP=twt_gu&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium#Echobox=1659539990-1 [Source]

  “I would take advice from my two young daughters on climate change.” I think there are people who know more about climate policy than your daughters Rishi! [Source]

• 19 Jul 2022: Tweet

  The whole country are seeing what living with climate change looks like. In Calderdale we have had to be prepared for the impact of climate change because being hit with repeated. We must build climate resilience and take meaningful steps to slow its impacts #NetZero https://twitter.com/JoshFG/status/1549321176023015424/photo/1 [Source]

• 11 May 2022: Tweet

  It’s important that big organisations in all fields take a lead in fighting climate change. That’s why I’m proud to be part of this campaign of West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership #allhandsin https://twitter.com/WYpartnership/status/1524460584976138241 [Source]

• 04 May 2022: Tweet

  Tomorrow, in Calderdale, and across the UK, Labour councillors and candidates will be campaigning. We will be putting a vision across of local authorities standing up against cuts, delivering services and fighting climate change. I couldn’t be more proud to stand with them ???? [Source]

• 04 May 2022: Tweet

  @mag_worden @UKLabour Seemed unpleasant. Perhaps collectivism wasn’t for you. I hope you channel your obviously passion and activism into something worthwhile. I’ll concentrate on keeping a labour council who invested in opposing climate change and putting up care workers wages ???? [Source]

• 16 Mar 2022: Tweet

  @RogerODoherty I suspect time and modern values have have left him behind a bit. When I worked for the remain campaign he struck me as alright among the labour leave group. But I can’t see that sharing a platform with Farage to deny climate change is compatible with our movements values. [Source]

• 01 Mar 2022: Tweet

  @sioxl7 @Soph__wilson I mean labour in Calderdale have paid care staff more, stopped the closure of both our and Huddersfield A&Es and led West Yorkshire authorities in responding to the climate emergency. Being out of power in Westminster limited what we could do. [Source]

  13% of important petrol products in the UK are from Russia. Our reliance on fossil fuels is a strategic disadvantage as well as being a climate catastrophe https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1495862133736755202 [Source]

• 29 Jan 2022: Tweet

  @JustineBrian People vote to their advantage- understandably. That’s why we have greater state investment in pensions than climate change [Source]

• 29 Jan 2022: Tweet

  @JustineBrian I wonder if governments would be as shortermist if voters would see the impact of underinvestment in climate change and education [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  @JustineBrian What worries me about your framing here is that you focus on the impact of net zero as if the counter point is everything carrying on as it is. That simply isn’t the case. It’s addressing the issue or catastrophic global climate change. [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  @walletzerosan But individual actions play a huge role in arresting the pandemic. Shifting the focus on climate change to individuals not systems is actively counter productive [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  This kind of journalism is so frustrating. We accept that the scale of climate change means government not individual action is key to solving climate change, so why are we clutching pearls at how leaders travel to COP. What do you want Biden and Macron to cycle to the venue? https://twitter.com/C4Ciaran/status/1455121067316555779 [Source]

  Mayors speaking up for public transport is showing leadership on climate change where the tories have failed to do so. https://twitter.com/MayorOfWY/status/1451154634467336196 [Source]

  Tomorrow, after 20 days and 200 miles, Jude, who is 11, will make it to London. His message is clear, it’s time for politicians to step up on climate change. https://twitter.com/zeroc_official/status/1425138388815028228 [Source]

• 13 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @GNDRising Rather than ask him to formulate policies for government your shibboleth is that he sign up to a bill that won’t pass? This isn’t smart campaigning. It is absolutely vital we face up to climate change. He’s engaged with a ‘just transition’ which tories won’t touch. Wrong target [Source]

• 13 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @GNDRising @Keir_Starmer He literally stopped to talk to you on areas where you agreed. Are you think or just some kind of Tory satire? If you don’t want to take yes for an answer you aren’t seriously about climate change [Source]

• 06 Aug 2021: Tweet

  @cllrawilkinson @susanp_80 I think we need a just transition. On climate on nuclear. People need jobs and both those industries offer well paid skilled and sustainable jibs in remote areas. It’s not beyond our ken as a labour movement to fix this, but we must be clear what we are transitioning to. [Source]

  @gracepetrie I’m just reminded of that Ben Elton novel where the world is dying because of climate change and all the rich people decide to start a new life in space. [Source]

  Ummm we need to talk about climate change https://twitter.com/ChelmsleyWMP/status/1417118399134588931 [Source]

  A vote to cut the aid budget will lead to 100,000 children’s lives that could have been saved being lost. I’ve often talked about the domestic impact of Labour being out of power but I can’t stress enough, from aid to climate change we need Labour in power for a just world. https://twitter.com/MrTomBaker/status/1414965253461446669 [Source]

  Great to be joined by @TracyBrabin at Calderdale council cabinet tonight. She talked about her ambition for West Yorkshire, including housing, skills and climate change. Also great to hear her championing the work of the excellent @slowtheflow_UK in natural flood management. [Source]

• 24 Jun 2021: Tweet

  As a councillor I represent a Calderdale community blighted by floods made worse by climate change. Our government taking money from oil and gas companies while dragging feet on tackling climate changed isn’t just corrupt it’s ruining lives in my community https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/24/oil-gas-donors-gave-over-400k-tories-before-north-sea-decision?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]

  @DuncanBedson @GillianMcKeith I mean 90s TV C list celebrities are key to many issues... I’m actually going to go to Handy Andy from changing rooms to get his take on climate change next! [Source]
